Overview

Fast-paced multiplayer parkour

HoloTag reimagines the classic game of tag with fluid parkour mechanics and competitive multiplayer action. Players navigate vertically-designed arenas with wall-running, sliding, and precision jumping while trying to tag opponents or escape from pursuers.

The game emphasizes skill-based movement and strategic arena knowledge, rewarding players who master the momentum-based traversal system. Every match becomes a high-stakes chase where one wrong move can turn hunter into hunted.

Development

Technical implementation

Built in Unreal Engine 5 using a combination of C++ and Blueprint, HoloTag showcases advanced character movement systems and multiplayer networking. The custom animation system uses layered blending and state machines to seamlessly transition between parkour moves.

The movement system required extensive iteration to find the perfect balance between realism and arcade-style fun. Physics-based momentum calculations ensure fluid, skill-based traversal that rewards mastery.

All character models and environmental assets were created in Blender, then optimized for real-time rendering in Unreal. The art pipeline focused on maintaining consistent visual style while hitting performance targets for multiplayer gameplay.

Network synchronization was a major technical challenge, requiring careful consideration of client prediction, server reconciliation, and interpolation to create smooth gameplay despite network latency.
