Needed to do this for a game I'm working on. Since I couldn't find any unreal tutorials talking about this, I made one.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing the knowledge

I couldnt find the thread where you were asking for ideas.
I had an idea: It would be interesting if the player automatically walks and can only be turned manually. Over time the character speeds up to increase difficulty.
Maybe add obstacles to jump over/ crouch under. introduced at several difficulty levels.
Just some ideas... Keep up the good work!

The player does automatically keep moving forward, and you drag left or right to turn manually
havent thought about speeding up the player, as the obstacles increase their spawnrate, and it already gets more difficult to dodge without a speed increase

Nice! Maybe just a slight speed boost, i could imagine that little steps that you have to jump over would definetly increase the funrate. one step further, have little parcours elements (maybe after some time) of 2-3 steps that in the end let the player collect some "+" powerup (if he managed the jumps), that just adds 1 to score. Maybe let a score run as long as the player walks, it increases evenly, the more speed, the faster the number increases.
the turn rate has to be restricted right?Due to a player could try to go full circle all the way.
This grassy sphere fits the game real good, fresh and bright theme. Id love to give this a shot

Yes, the turn rate has been restricted. I'm not sure how I feel about jumping or sliding. Right now the player can just turn. Factors I use to change difficulty are the speed of player, the pillar spawnrate decrease exponent (it has an exponential decrease), and the time you have to survive.
because its on a globe, it cant really be an infinite runner, as obstacles will eventually fill the globe, so the goal is survive as long as possible. Surviving for a certain amount of time grants you a point, and you need a certain amount of points to move onto the next stage
heres a video of the earliest prototype (though much has changed since, the concept is still the same)
