🏗️ Implementation Approach ​

Component-Based Design ​

Every system follows modern UE5.6 patterns:

  • Actor Components for modular functionality
  • Primary Data Assets for configuration
  • Blueprint Interfaces for loose coupling
  • Event-driven architecture for system communication

Performance First ​

Built with AAA performance standards:

  • Concrete budgets: Memory and CPU targets defined
  • Object pooling: Efficient resource management
  • LOD systems: Scale with hardware capabilities
  • Profiling integration: Built-in performance monitoring

Team-Friendly ​

Designed for professional development:

  • Clear documentation: Every system fully explained
  • Modular design: Mix and match systems as needed
  • Version control friendly: Minimal merge conflicts
  • Designer accessible: No programming required

🚀 Getting Started ​

Quick Setup ​

  1. Choose your core systems: Start with Save/Load and Game Settings
  2. Add interaction layer: Implement Interaction System as foundation
  3. Build your gameplay: Select systems matching your game genre
  4. Optimize and polish: Use profiling data to tune performance

Integration Patterns ​

  • System Dependencies: Clear hierarchy prevents circular references
  • Event Communication: Loose coupling through Blueprint interfaces
  • Data Flow: Centralized data management through Primary Data Assets
  • Performance Monitoring: Built-in telemetry for production optimization

📋 Best Practices ​

Architecture Guidelines ​

  • Start with core systems before adding gameplay features
  • Use composition over inheritance for flexible design
  • Implement interfaces first to define system contracts
  • Design for modularity to support different game types

Performance Optimization ​

  • Profile early and often during development
  • Use object pooling for frequently created/destroyed objects
  • Implement LOD systems for scalable performance
  • Monitor memory usage with Blueprint-specific tools

Team Collaboration ​

  • Document system dependencies clearly
  • Use consistent naming conventions across all systems
  • Implement automated testing for critical functionality
  • Establish code review processes for quality assurance
