A UE4 project I've been working on for awhile. 
Located in remote outback South Australian 1897. An Australian drover attends to another day on farm. Until one day he finds something that will forever change his life style with dire unforeseen consequences.
 
Fixed, replaced and added in new animations for walk and crouch directions. Added more weight to the animations.
Characters eyes move to the players FPS / Eyeball camera location.
The FPS camera that is used on the character is linked up to the left eyeball, when camera moves so does the eyeball an eye lids an surrounding skin, followed with a delay of the head then neck bones an spine bones and so forth. This helps the characters movement to stop looking rigid and robotic or jerky.
Turn in place left and right has been added. (Needs work and bug testing as the meshes flickers when those lines of code is activated.)
Added a basic inventory system for clothes. 
Part 1 of a bigger process. They are buttons for now but will be replaced with drag an drop slots. Drag item on slot "Button on" Drag item off slot "Button off" etc.
Added a Jump in place when idle and not moving. A running jump animation that "should" only be used when running is pressed. Still needs work
Working on.
Combat system = Equipped with weapon at hip location / FPS common weapon location (upholstered, lazy aim)
Melee and pistol.
Prone and crawl.
Inventory.
Cloth physics for trenchcoat.
Pick up and drop clothes.
Clothes materials have randomly generated colors to add variety. Depending on Colour channel used. Aka Red, Green, Blue. 
(For example Jeans pants material would only use the blue channel and light and dark in the material settings.
Since the engine doesn't see a difference with a lighter or darker material. A "jeans pants" model will still act and use the same code as all other pants model ingame.)
