Story-Driven RPG, From Zero

This is a development blog about building an RPG in Unreal Engine 5: the design choices, technical problems, solutions, redos, and small victories along the way.

The game is a cross between 1984, Babylon 5, and Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.

After World War III and the nuclear winter that followed, the true culprits behind humanity’s near-destruction were discovered: Espers, who had used their powers to manipulate humanity from the shadows. In response, humanity united under one banner and founded the IER to ensure Espers could never again threaten the future of mankind.
