Narrative Pro 2 - Complete Game Framework
Skip the years of work and huge amounts of funding - Narrative Pro handles Quests, Dialogue, Navigation, Combat, Inventory, Interaction, NPCs, Saving, UI, and much more for you so you can skip to the part that matters - creating your game.
Best of all the tools are pre-configured, and you can jump in and start creating in less than 5 minutes.
ANY PLATFORM, ANY GENRE, BLUEPRINTS OR C++
The tools shipped with Narrative are made to be flexible, whether you're making a Medieval RPG, a Modern Shooter, or something else entirely. We've built Narrative Pro with many platforms in mind, so you can ship your game for console or PC and feel confident the UI and features will work great.
WHAT DO I GET WITH NARRATIVE PRO?
Narrative Tales Dialogue, a beautiful dialogue system with a node based dialogue editor, Cinematic Camera shots, Body and Facial animation support, Events & Conditions, and more.
Narrative Tales Quests, a powerful quest system with a node based quest editor. There isn't a quest you can't create with the Tales editor thanks to the flexible state machine based quest designer.
Narrative Arsenal, a combat system built using Epics Gameplay Ability System plugin, which includes support for many different types of combat, whether you're making a medieval RPG or Modern shooter!
Narrative Save Subsystem, a global save system that saves the entire world right out of the box. Every quest you've done, your equipment, every NPC, every inventory - the entire world is globally saved to disk.
Narrative Inventory, a networked Inventory System that supports any type of item you can imagine. Included with Narrative Pro are Equippable items, Weapon items, Readable books, Consumable items, and more.
Narrative Interaction, a networked Interaction System that supports all sorts of complex interaction
Narrative Common UI, our UI library built on Epics CommonUI tool. Narrative includes all your UI for you, so we created this tool to ensure they all run quickly, and support every platform, whether you're shipping your game for PC, Xbox, PS5, Switch, or so on! It also lets you style the UI to your game easily.
Preconfigured Setup! We include a demo map and character set up with the animations from Lyra, so you can jump in and start creating gameplay right away.
DEMO BUILT RIGHT INTO THE PLUGIN
In the Plugin, you'll find a Demo Map you can open, which contains Quests, Dialogue, Weapons, Inventory, Interaction, NPCs, Save System, an Open World with fast travelling, followers, and more. We have a video taking you through the Demo Map here.
THE SOLUTION YOU CAN TRUST, WITH ALL THE SUPPORT YOU NEED
Narrative has a active community of 2000+ customers on Discord, with staff around every day to provide help and answers. Narrative Tools was founded by Reuben Ward, a well known developer with over a decade of Unreal Engine programming experience and a YouTube developer community of over 400,000 subscribers.
THE EASIEST SOLUTION ON THE MARKETPLACE
We build our tools the same way Epic build theirs, so they feel like any other part of Unreal Engine. Create a Quest/Dialogue Blueprint, design your Quest/Dialogue with the built in Node Based editors, and start playing your quests and dialogues right away. You'll be blown away by how simple Narrative is to use.
FULL METAHUMAN SUPPORT
Narrative supports any type of character model and that includes Metahumans. Follow the Narrative video tutorial to learn how to create AAA quality cinematic dialogues with Photorealistic Metahumans and Lip-synced Facial Animations.
EASILY CUSTOMIZABLE
We've all tried bloated plugins that offer hundreds of features, only to realize when we try add them to our games that these bloated plugins actually make development harder! Narrative understands that every game is different and instead makes extensibility the top priority, meaning Narrative will work for any game.
