Narrative Pro 2 – Complete Game Framework v2.0.5 (5.5-5.6) is not your average game framework. Unlike many frameworks built entirely in Blueprints by inexperienced developers, Narrative Pro combines C++ and Blueprints, with core systems implemented in C++ using industry-grade tools like GAS and CommonUI. This approach ensures scalability and performance, avoiding the pitfalls of over-reliance on Blueprints in large projects.
The framework provides a comprehensive, all-in-one solution for game development, including Quests, Dialogue, Navigation, Combat, Inventory, Interaction, NPCs, Saving, and UI—pre-configured and ready to use. Developers can start creating gameplay within minutes, without years of setup or extensive funding.
Designed for flexibility, Narrative Pro supports any genre or platform, from medieval RPGs to modern shooters, and works seamlessly across PC, console, and mobile. The tools are optimized for performance and compatibility, ensuring smooth operation across all target platforms.
Key features include:
– Narrative Tales: A node-based dialogue and quest system with flexible state machines.
– Narrative Arsenal: A combat system built on Epic’s Gameplay Ability System, supporting diverse combat types.
– Narrative Save Subsystem: A global save system that preserves the entire world state—including quests, inventory, NPCs, and equipment.
– Narrative Inventory: A networked system supporting equippable, weapon, consumable, and readable items.
– Narrative Interaction: A networked interaction system for complex in-game actions.
– Narrative Common UI: A performant, platform-agnostic UI library based on Epic’s CommonUI, fully customizable for game-specific styling.
– Preconfigured Demo: Includes a demo map and character setup with Lyra animations, allowing immediate gameplay testing.
The framework includes a fully functional demo map within the plugin, featuring quests, dialogue, weapons, inventory, NPCs, saving, and open-world elements with fast travel and followers. It is built with the same principles as Epic’s tools—intuitive, seamless, and integrated into Unreal Engine.
Narrative Pro supports Metahumans and includes tutorials for creating cinematic dialogues with photorealistic characters and lip-synced facial animations. The framework is designed to be easily customizable, avoiding bloated plugins that complicate development. Instead, extensibility is prioritized to fit any game’s unique needs.
Code modules include: NarrativeArsenal, NarrativeArsenalEditor, NarrativeCommonUI, NarrativeDialogueEditor, NarrativeInventory, NarrativeInventoryEditor, NarrativeNavigator, NarrativePro, NarrativeQuestEditor, and NarrativeSaveSystem.
