A multiplayer gameplay sandbox focused on modular, data-driven systems, AI, networking and performance.
Planning to make this into a evergrowing sandbox containing my game dev shenanigans.
To get the Unreal project running on your system, first clone this github repo into a local folder using git or just download the zip by tapping the green code on top.
Then Download the Unreal 5.7 version from Epic games launcher as the game was made on that version, you could also use the latest version - but things may break during compiling.
Then locate the zip and unzip it, you will find .uproject file, right click it -> more options -> 'generate Visual Studio project files' -> open up the .sln in Rider or Visual Studio Community and press Ctrl + Shift + B on load,
Let it compile and launch it but tapping uproject or the play button - and you have the project files.

- See Source files here - Source, Every header/implementation files are in their own subfolders with flat split. (e.g. Save Game Subsystem, Action System)
- Pure/C++ inherited blueprint classes are inside Core directory inside content folder with their own subfolders
- Game Art Assets - Content
- Configs Engine, Game specific including Gameplay Tags - Configs
- Custom/ Open Source Plugins - Plugins
I wanted to get better at writing modular, component-based architecture in C++ alongside Unreal replication and multiplayer, while keeping things performant and actually understand how these systems work together
