Just submitted my SimpleLeveling plugin to Fab. 🎉

It’s the 4th plugin in the Simple series, joining Attributes, Inventory, and Stats.

Define multiple leveling tracks and scale XP with curves or linear growth.

Planning to have it live by the weekend!

Hey! Happy #screenshotsaturday! 🎉
I’m working on my next #unrealengine5 plugin: SimpleAttributes

It lets you easily define and manage attributes like Health, Mana, Strength, Agility, etc. No boilerplate code needed.

Here’s a preview of the editor tab.

Hey! 👋

I made a CLI tool called UnrealPluginCreator that lets you create UE5 plugins in seconds. It scaffolds runtime, editor, and test modules. Works on Mac & Windows.

Check it out on GitHub: github.com/Ericdowney/U...

Happy #screenshotsaturday! This week, I got spell and potion crafting working! Plus, an effect system—fire spells now ignite objects! 🔥 Still rough, but fully functional. Here’s a video of a fireball lighting a campfire! 😁
