Story Framework - Interactive Template v3.1 (5.3-5.3)

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 will inspire you to create and design 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 Board.

Why an Actor Component based workflow?
Developing templates should not only educate, but also be practical to use and expand upon. By using actor components, we divide up functionality, and keep larger character classes an empty slate. All in combination with a large scale documentation board and support via our discord.
