Flawless & Lawless (Remake)

This is an in-progress remake of my earlier cancelled game "Flawless & Lawless", now being rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5. Inspired by my own hoarding tendencies to loot in open-world games, this remake focuses on calculated risk and decision-making. Players must navigate each floor of a corporate building, stealing items while avoiding suspicion from employees, surveillance systems, and security.

The project is an ongoing learning experience to deepen my understanding of Unreal Engine and create a more fun and engaging core game loop than the original (which didn't really have one).

Gameplay Features

• Steal as Much as You Can

  The player must carefully choose what to steal, as loot slows you down and makes you more suspicious, which encourages you to make smart decisions.

• Suspicion-Based AI

  Instead of instantly chasing you, employees become suspicious over time. Maxing out their suspicion meter alerts security.

• Surveillance Systems

  Navigate around security cameras or find creative ways to disable or avoid them.

• Progression & Upgrades

  Money earned from loot can be spent on upgrades between floors to improve stealth, mobility, or provide new tools.

• Dynamic Floor Layouts

  Each floor increases in complexity and risk, encouraging adaptability and planning.

Development Goals

• Create a satisfying and replayable experience with a clear, fun game loop.
• Focus on moment-to-moment decision-making and strategic resource management.
• Use the project as a practical way to learn and apply Unreal Engine 5 systems including AI behavior, UI, animation, and many other things UE has to offer.
