Abstract: In the realm of software engineering, the gaming industry is experiencing rapid growth, with shooter games emerging
as one of the most popular genres for independent video game developers. These games are characterized by their fast-paced
action, requiring a combination of skills from players, including strategic thinking, hand-eye coordination, and quick reflexes.
To develop such games, developers can choose from a range of game engines, including Unity3D, Unreal Engine, Game Maker,
and Godot, each offering access to a comprehensive suite of technologies and tools. Among these engines, Unity3D stands out as
an integrated development tool, commonly used to create interactive content, such as video games and real-time 3D animations.
Its user-friendly interface and cross-platform capabilities make it an ideal choice for independent developers, while its extensive
library of assets provides a wealth of resources for creating engaging and immersive shooter games. This paragraph, with its
professional tone, would be suitable for inclusion in a project abstract or other formal documents related to the field of software
engineering. Our project demonstrates the creation of a video game using Unreal Engine and an agile methodology, which
consists of four stages: preproduction, production, testing, and post-production. Through careful planning and execution, we
were able to create a high-quality game in a short period of time with limited resources. This methodology has proven to be
efficient, economical, and sustainable, reducing development costs and ensuring faster time to market. Our project showcases
the applicability of this methodology, reinforcing our belief that adopting agile methodologies can lead to successful and
sustainable projects in the gaming industry.

I. INTRODUCTION
The shooter game genre is known for its fast-paced gameplay and intense action, and has become one of the most popular genres in
the video game industry. To create a successful shooter game, developers must carefully consider the gameplay mechanics,
narrative, and multiplayer modes. The gameplay in shooter games typically revolves around combat, with the player using a variety
of weapons to take down enemies. The weapons must feel satisfying to use and each have their own strengths and weaknesses. The
player must also be challenged with limited ammo and strategic choices to make during gameplay. In addition to combat, shooter
games often feature other gameplay mechanics such as stealth, exploration, and puzzle-solving, which can add depth to the
gameplay and keep players engaged throughout the game. The narrative in shooter games can vary greatly, from simple action
stories to complex character-driven plots. However, no matter the narrative, it must complement the gameplay and provide a sense
of purpose to the player. Storytelling can be done through cutscenes, dialogue, and environmental elements, and must be engaging
and immersive to keep the player invested in the game. Multiplayer modes are also a crucial component of many shooter games, and
must be balanced, fun, and engaging for players. Modes such as deathmatch, capture the flag, and objective-based gameplay can add
variety to the multiplayer experience.

The crash prompted Japan's video game industry to take leadership of the market, which had only suffered minor impacts from the
crash. Nintendo released its Nintendo Entertainment System in the United States in 1985, helping to rebound the failing video
games sector. The latter part of the 1980s and early 1990s included video games driven by improvements and standardization in
personal computers and the console war competition between Nintendo and Sega as they fought for market share in the United
States. The first major handheld video game consoles appeared in the 1990s, led by Nintendo's Game Boy platform.In the early
1990s, advancements in microprocessor technology brought two major technology shifts, including the introduction of optical media
via CD-roms and real-time 3D polygonal graphic rendering. Both aspects were readily incorporated into personal computers and
creating a market for graphics cards, including Sony's fledgling playstation console line, pushing Sega out of the console hardware
market while diminishing Nintendo's role. [1]
There are some similar games developed using unreal engine as below:
1) Videogame using Unreal Engine based on a Four Stages Methodology: For the game development of the Vermillion game
stages and areas proposed by the IGDA (International Game Developer Association) were used. Which are: Critical Game
Studies, Games and Society, Game Design, Game Programming, Visual Design, Audio Design, Interactive Storytelling, Game
Production and Business of Gaming. For purposes of our project, we didn’t use the last three development areas that are
focused on the business area.[2]
2) S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: A first-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world with horror elements. It is a sequel to the classic
STALKER game. You’re not being hunted here, but you are the hunter, curious? I’ll let you wait for the game.You can expect
it to be a big open-world FPS game where your decision will affect the world. So, it should be fascinating to see where it takes
you.[3]
3) Quantum Error: Quantum Error is an upcoming horror game following Alien isolation’s footsteps. Of course, we can’t tell if it
will be that good, but the teaser trailer shows an exciting first look at the weapons, creatures, and vehicles.An indie game studio
is developing it. So, if this picks up, the developers would be proving their potential for future titles.[3]
4) NOVA Legacy: N.O.V.A. Legacy brings you the old-school FPS experience from the epic first episode of the critically
acclaimed N.O.V.A. saga – all in a compact package. Kal Wardin, our hero, is a retired N.O.V.A. veteran summoned once
again to don his Mobile Armored Suit in defense of the Colonial Administration forces.[4]
Above mentioned first 3 are games developed in unreal engine and the last one NOVA is an android game. The difference between
both are graphics, storage and playing experience. Unreal engine games also have better pixels, accurate peripherals than mobile
phone games. Computer hardware can be customized as required so we can get a better experience which cannot be done in mobile
games.
V. SCOPE OF PROJECT
1) Serve players a better gaming experience.
2) We wish to make the players feel better as far as visuals are concerned and give them a story to live.
3) In future, given the time and skill-set, we may try and improve the game objectives and graphics, storyline for a much better
experience.

VII. CONCLUSION
We conclude that this paper helped us gain more knowledge about videos games and shooting game genre by researching. The
impact it can have on people (in both good and negative ways) also how people enjoy playing these video games which can help in
reducing stress. The methods to make the shooting video games more effective which gives a feeling of satisfaction of completing
tasks and surviving through the game.
