Important Notices:

Narrative Pro is not a beginner friendly plugin. Whilst most main features are exposed to Blueprint, C++ knowledge will be required to modify/extend certain parts of the plugin. You are responsible for trying the free demo and ensuring you are happy with the quality, as well checking out our tutorials and making sure the difficulty is managable for you BEFORE buying the tool. If you have any questions please ask in the Discord before purchase!

NOT YOUR AVERAGE FRAMEWORK

Most frameworks fail to deliver because they are entirely written in Blueprints, by inexperienced developers. Whilst Narrative Pro lets you use C++ or Blueprints, the big difference is we would never build our entire game in Blueprints – a recipe for disaster on a large project. We roll our framework the same way the pros do: We use C++ to roll out all the core systems, many of which are built with GAS, CommonUI, and other industry grade tools and then let you extend all that power in C++ or Blueprints.

YOUR ALL IN ONE GAME SOLUTION

Skip the years of work and huge amounts of funding – Narrative Pro handles Quests, Dialogue, Navigation, Combat, Inventory, Interaction, NPCs, Saving, UI, and much more for you so you can skip to the part that matters – creating your game. Best of all the tools are pre-configured, and you can jump in and start creating in less than 5 minutes.

ANY PLATFORM, ANY GENRE, BLUEPRINTS OR C++

The tools shipped with Narrative are made to be flexible, whether you’re making a Medieval RPG, a Modern Shooter, or something else entirely. We’ve built Narrative Pro with many platforms in mind, so you can ship your game for console or PC and feel confident the UI and features will work great.

WHAT DO I GET WITH NARRATIVE PRO?

• Narrative Tales Dialogue, a beautiful dialogue system with a node based dialogue editor, Cinematic Camera shots, Body and Facial animation support, Events & Conditions, and more.
• Narrative Tales Quests, a powerful quest system with a node based quest editor. There isn’t a quest you can’t create with the Tales editor thanks to the flexible state machine based quest designer.
• Narrative Arsenal, a combat system built using Epics Gameplay Ability System plugin, which includes support for many different types of combat, whether you’re making a medieval RPG or Modern shooter!
• Narrative Save Subsystem, a global save system that saves the entire world right out of the box. Every quest you’ve done, your equipment, every NPC, every inventory – the entire world is globally saved to disk.
• Narrative Inventory, a networked Inventory System that supports any type of item you can imagine. Included with Narrative Pro are Equippable items, Weapon items, Readable books, Consumable items, and more.
• Narrative Interaction, a networked Interaction System that supports all sorts of complex interaction
• Narrative Common UI, our UI library built on Epics CommonUI tool. Narrative includes all your UI for you, so we created this tool to ensure they all run quickly, and support every platform, whether you’re shipping your game for PC, Xbox, PS5, Switch, or so on! It also lets you style the UI to your game easily.
• Preconfigured Setup! We include a demo map and character set up with the animations from GASP, so you can jump in and start creating gameplay right away.

DEMO BUILT RIGHT INTO THE PLUGIN

In the Plugin, you’ll find a Demo Map you can open, which contains Quests, Dialogue, Weapons, Inventory, Interaction, NPCs, Save System, an Open World with fast travelling, followers, and more.

THE SOLUTION YOU CAN TRUST, WITH ALL THE SUPPORT YOU NEED

Narrative has a active community of 2000+ customers on Discord, with staff around every day to provide help and answers. Narrative Tools was founded by Reuben Ward, a well known developer with over a decade of Unreal Engine programming experience and a YouTube developer community of over 350,000 Subscribers.

THE EASIEST SOLUTION ON THE MARKETPLACE

Whilst pro is extensive and will take time to learn as any major game framework would, we build our tools the same way Epic build theirs, so they feel like any other part of Unreal Engine. Create a Quest/Dialogue Blueprint, design your Quest/Dialogue with the built in Node Based editors, and start playing your quests and dialogues right away. You’ll be blown away by how simple Narrative is to use.

FULL METAHUMAN SUPPORT

Narrative supports any type of character model and that includes Metahumans. Follow the Narrative video tutorial to learn how to create AAA quality cinematic dialogues with Photorealistic Metahumans and Lip-synced Facial Animations.

MAKE GAMES LIKE THE PROS

Most major shipped games use C++, and lean on Blueprints where they make sense, rather than making entire games in Blueprint. They also lean on Epics tech, such as CommonUI, and Gameplay Ability System, rather than trying to write their own UI and combat systems.

This is exactly how we’ve built Narrative Pro. We’re not re-inventing the wheel – we’re rolling out UE5 for you the same way the pros would do it.
