DogPark Release Hub

This repository only hosts packaged builds of DogPark, an Unreal Engine 5.5 learning game used by Unity Environmental University to teach canine training and animal behavior. All source code lives in the private development repository; visit this repo strictly to download the latest classroom-ready binaries.

Downloading Builds

• Head to the Releases tab.
• Pick the build tagged for your platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
• Each release includes:
  • A zipped build (DogPark-1.0.1-Windows.zip, DogPark-1.0.1-Mac.zip, etc.).
  • Release notes summarizing gameplay tweaks and educational guidance.

Tip: If you only need the newest version, download the asset labeled Latest.
