TRAILER
Building a first-person horror game often means having to build a lot of core gameplay systems before you can even start focusing on the actual game. Movement, interactions, character actions, inventory, camera behavior, hiding, damage and all these systems connecting can quickly turn into a large amount of work.
Escape Horror Character System brings these systems together into a modular first-person framework designed specifically for non-combat horror-escape games.
NOTE: Though commented and easy to understand, this product assumes a basic understanding of Unreal Engine Blueprints
The systems are built around reusable Components, Interfaces and configurable actors, allowing the gameplay systems to work together without being locked into one specific project structure. Interactions are handled by the actors themselves, actions can use animations, IK, and systems can be configured or extended in a non destructive way.
Hiding System
The hiding system allows you to create hiding spots with multiple entry points and assign animations.
The system handles the entry point selection, animation and camera behavior, while still allowing the player to look around when hiding. Exiting can also take the player's viewing direction into account.
Two complete examples are included: an under-bed hiding spot and a locker.
Interaction & Actions
The interaction system is designed to work with a wide range of actors while keeping the actual behavior on the actor being interacted with. This also extends to more involved character actions.
Carry System
Carryable actors can be picked up, carried and placed through the same modular interaction approach.
The carry state can be configured with movement restrictions and other gameplay changes, while placement can trigger a customizable event on the target actor.
This makes the system suitable for objectives and environmental interactions without requiring a separate carry implementation for each use case.
Built for Customization
The included examples can be used as a starting point for creating your own interactions and gameplay systems or in the final product.
