The UNREAL Universe <img src="https://github.com/VerseMetaVerse/UnrealVerse/assets/17344588/fd300acf-5804-4394-a120-9020886d3a52" width="20%">

[!IMPORTANT] Verse, and UEFN and Fortnite and UE5 with a convergence of the tech upcoming in UE6 This started as a collection of all the information and links about Epic's Verse programming language, but since Verse is expected to converge into the general Unreal codebase in 2024 or 2025 the scope > of information found here will expand to be more useful to everyone in the Unreal Universe with the addition of information on Fortnite as well as the traditional Unreal UE5 ecosystem

[!TIP] WHATS NEW: "Epic Games CEO Apologizes For the State of Fab at Launch" - https://80.lv/articles/epic-games-ceo-apologizes-for-the-state-of-fab-at-launch/ - wishlist is back! -
FAB.COM has replaced the Unreal Marketplace and it is an improving replacement that is hard to navigate and make sense of for the PRIMARY PRIORITY of being useful to Unreal Developers. I will expand the FAB.COM section as we journey together to make sense out of that

This Document

[!NOTE] Most of the other various UNREAL lists of projects on GitHub point to a large number of old unmaintained projects. The extent of "CURATION" here is to eliminate things that won't work with Unreal 5.4, 5.5 and 6.0 and focus on the interesting and useful.

The document is organized by categories of

• Unreal Programming Languages
  • Low level (C++, Verse)
  • High level (Blueprints, VisualVerse)
• Extra Programming Languages
  • Python (Editor scripting)
  • Python (via Addon)
  • C# and F# (via Addon)
  • Lua (via Addon)
• Important Companions such as Blender

There is also a "Type of Interest" set of categories that I hope to feature with a color code of some sort:

• Background, History and Future Directions
• A Learning path via Document Links
• A Learning path via Video Tutorial Links
• Quick Reference Links
• Lists of Tools and Utilities
• Lists of Plugins and Addons, both OSS/Free and recommended commercial
• Samples, Examples and Full Featured Code
• 3D and 2D Assets, both OSS/Free and recommended commercial
• Pointers to other collections of Game Development info
