Procedural ARPG Style Environment

A top-down ARPG environment built with PCG, Blueprints and Substance Designer materials in Unreal Engine 5.6.

This environment was created using the top-down template, similar to titles like Diablo and Path of Exile. I wanted to take advantage of procedural tools such as the Procedural Content Graph (PCG) in Unreal Engine 5.6. In a way, this is more of a technical art demonstration to bolster that side of my skillset and portfolio. Thank you for viewing!

It also contains the spline path setup which puts down decals and clears the area.
