⚠️ Disclaimers

  • Plugin is under active development. More updates coming! Found a bug or have feedback? Just reach out in the Discord server — I’ll respond as soon as possible.
  • The plugin only supports Unreal 5.3 and onward. Lower Unreal versions require manual fixes and functional limitation.
  • The plugin provides a demo out of the box but NOT a whole shipped game for you to plug and play seemlessly in your own project. You will have to integrate the plugin with your game systems (tutorial below), but after that, creating new content is fast and intuitive.
  • Animations are not included — use your own or grab packs from the Marketplace. The animations for the demo are from “RamsterZ Free Anims Volume 1” pack.
  • Please read the Features section carefully to see if it matches your need before buying the plugin. Any request outside of the features scope will be put into backlog for future improvements (will not be immediately supported)
