Skyward Rest - UE5 Technical Narrative Demo (Full Playthrough)
A full playthrough of Skyward Rest, a technical demo developed in Unreal Engine 5. This project focuses on the integration of narrative systems with action-adventure gameplay mechanics.
Technical Overview:
Engine: Unreal Engine 5.
Logic: 100% Blueprints.
Core Systems: Developed a custom branching dialogue system, player journal, and world-space interactive "readables."
Project Scope:
Narrative: ~45 minutes of gameplay featuring three interconnected quests, five NPCs, and 10 minutes of scripted cinematics.
Level Design: Three distinct outdoor environments and a modular temple interior.
Mechanics: Implementation of lore-based puzzles, including linked switch logic, precision-based challenges, and deduction mechanics tied to world descriptions.
The goal of this demo was to demonstrate technical proficiency in UE5 and the ability to implement complex narrative-driven systems from scratch.
