Profanity Warnings

This game will take a long time to develop since it’s just me, and as such, during the prototyping phase, i will be using assets from the unreal marketplace(providing Credit where it’s due), modify code to my needs until i have a playable portion of the game. i will then begin looking for artists, coders, and more to produce new models, assets, effects and better interactions. during the prototyping phase, yes, the playable area WILL be the essence of an asset flip, however, the production ready game will not include this.
