This project aims to create a UE5 plug-in that&#8217;s beginner-friendly, which includes content to help student designers to lay out a 3D white box game level without having to create art assets or code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes\u2026 and No. Ultimately we are making a plugin toolkit for UE5, which allow users to create a playable game level with a list of prefab we provide. However, we are planning on building an example level that\u2019s included in the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Are you making a game?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes\u2026 and No. Ultimately we are making a plugin toolkit for UE5, which allow users to create a playable game level with a list of prefab we provide. However, we are planning on building an example level that\u2019s included in the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What genre is this \u201cgame\u201d\/tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: It would be a tool to create a third-person environmental traversal, single-player game level. Featuring a speedy character with a staff\/pole to help them overcome obstacles.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Do I need programming knowledge to use this tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Not necessarily. A basic understanding of game engines, especially Unreal Engine 5, would be beneficial. We will be providing a list of pre-written scripts\/blueprints. The goal is for level-design beginners to mock up a game level without having to code individually functionally. However, there are advanced features that seasoned designers could use to better their designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/level-up\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1-1024x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\" width=\"1170\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/level-up\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1-1024x320.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/level-up\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/level-up\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1-768x240.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/level-up\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1-1536x481.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/level-up\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1-2048x641.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-nv-site-bg-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-nv-site-bg-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Have questions?
