Welcome to the mod.io Action RPG demo repository. This project, originally created by Epic Games, demonstrates best practices for developing cross-platform games in Unreal Engine. It highlights features such as the Ability System, Gameplay Tags, and data-driven design, as well as common action RPG systems like character customization, inventory management, and combat mechanics.
This project already includes all the relevant mod.io plugins as submodules, so you do not need to install them separately. Support for this project is generally maintained to support the 3 most recent versions of Unreal Engine.
However, the example UGC that has been uploaded to the game profile is only compatible with our lowest supported version of Unreal Engine.
If you are using a different version, you will need to create your own UGC to be compatible with your version, and upload that to your own game profile.
The project supports Windows, Linux, LinuxArm64, Mac, iOS and Android as part of the public release.
For access to Windows (GDK), XBox, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 or Switch, please contact us.

The automatically generated zips on the release page and the 'Code' dropdown on this page will not work if this repository adds submodule dependencies in future releases. Please use the attached archive on the release instead. |
