Co-op And UE5
Last month, I spent about a month testing out Co-Op modes and moving the project to UE5. Once Zone 1 is finished I will move the project to UE5 and start adding new zone (Zone 2 through the tunnel after defeating Tank).

• UE5
  
  For the UE5, it's not just a better visual, but Nanite and world partition are very powerful and impressive. Here are some pictures taken from the UE5 (It's quite rough. Haven't adjusted much).
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Co-Op
  
  And for Co-Op mode. Actually The game was designed for single player, and I wasn't able to add Co-op Mode directly. I didn't plan for that in the first place. it would take a lot of time to do that.
  
  So, i have to craft it from scratch, As far as I've tried It doesn't take much time compared to the old version I made. Because I don't have to worry about environment, map, level design, and many things that have been done.
  
  And for that, It's a great opportunity to add full controller support XD. Oh, and don't worry I have a friend who will help this time. So, there are currently 2 programmers working on this project. :)
  
  Please check out some progress here ->
  *Co-Op Devlog#1
  
  
  *Controller Support WIP
