It's been a couple months since I last touched Unreal Engine for class, so this first update was all about getting used to all of the tools again.
Using the level and blueprints already in this template, I found a couple of things to add a little bit of polish to. Firstly, I added an animation to the doors so they now swing open like a normal door instead of just disappearing.
I also added a rotation animation to the keys using the Item Rotation component just to make them stand out more and seem like an obvious pick-up.
Lastly, I built a new simple quest area to get familiar with the level building tools and materials again!
