Story Framework 4.1 - Interactive Template
Storytelling made easy with our Single-Player Interactive Story Game Template, designed exclusively for Unreal 5.
Whether you're a seasoned developer or an aspiring creator, this comprehensive template aims to inspire creating and designing captivating gameplay. Story Framework is powered by an Actor Component based workflow. No functionality is executed inside the player controller or player character apart from input related functions. A demonstration of this can be found inside the Tech Demo Level and is also explained inside the Official Documentation.
