Take advantage of systems/features that Unreal Engine already provides.
The more you implement the more we'll have to critique. Sometimes less is more.
Our feedback will be as if you were turning in an interview assignment for a game company
This is a programming challenge, don't stress about your art and the like 😉

Make sure to start with a basic design document that captures your goals
Break those down into a technical doc so you know what systems you'll need to build.
This doesn't have to be a game! Just make sure whatever you build meets the above requirements.
