4 months of hard work , doing all by scratch , the only scanned asset is the cactus. This is a new technique of mine to create rocks , the material is all explained and every asset and what you need to do is in the description tutorial video , including performance and tons of tips.
PLS CHECK THE CINEMATIC HERE (I also made the music for the cinematic.)

PLS CHECK THE TUTORIAL HERE

-You have awesome vfx like glowing worms that goes through the rocks using collision , you have awesome fake lightrays that you can tweak in many ways , Torches that can illuminate your way in out or in , awesome hanging moss, you also have falling sand going down the rock and going along the floor.
-Also many rock assets and cliff that can be built in many ways as I show in the video using the level instance , so that why you can build unique shapes and reuse it to propagate in different way.
-Long video explaining each thing so you wont get lost.
-Some foliage bushes and grasses also.
-All is nanite ready.
-Demo level you see in the cinematic is there for you.
-Good balance between dark and light been able to balance lumen well , all post and light setting is in the level for you.
-Including some line commands for you to put for improve performance and be ready to play!
-Water material included with some video tutorial also so you can understand it well and save performance in reflections.
-Demo is using virtual shadows and lumen all direct light.
-Pls check out first the Cinematic I made and most important the whole tutorial video . (its long but you need to see it)
IMPORTANT
-Remember to activate virtual texturing and ray trace method and virtual shadows.
- Open your config folder and in the DefaultEngine.ini copy and put this.........
