Keep it alive was the theme. I couldn't get the above animation stuff working in time so I bailed over to unity.
I ended up deciding on a defend-against-waves kind of game with the player a sort of golem controller mage. I was going to do a pet heal, damage shield, basic mmo pet class kind of stuff with a few standard offensive spells, but I didn't get that far.
I had waves marching towards the goal, basic d20ish combat, some wacky but fun 3rd person movement, and a very broken combat spew window.
I love participating in these but I doubt I'll ever finish one again unless I somehow reverse age 20 years. I spent most of the weekend in this strange brain foggy tiredness mixed with insomnia.

Picked up Unreal Engine and going down the path - can anyone recommend a good youtube series for a primer?

Ryan Layley if you have no idea what you are doing. Which isn't you.
The official UE4 tutorials are pretty good, if I can follow them you shouldn't have an issue.

a while back. Worth a look if you're interested in working on an MMO system that he's created:

I found most Youtube stuff mediocre, although there are some gems throughout. If you're willing to spend $20-30 then Udemy had some good courses. I'm not a programmer though, just have a CS-lite degree. You may find more value elsewhere.
