Template Logic and flexibility #

This documentation explains what templates are, why you would use them, and how they provide a technical foundation for your Unreal Engine game development.

Templates at Games by Hyper:

Templates are complete, pre-configured collections of systems set up for specific game genres. Our modules are mostly genre acnostic. This mean that you can make nearly any type of game with our systems. E.g. it can function as the technical foundation for any Unreal Engine RPG, open world, co-op, survival, fantasy, shooter, or multiplayer game.

I am proud to say that we are the only one in the world which can provide such unique templates fully to your own liking while keeping it extendable with other modules. This is the reason why thousands of developer studios choose Hyper. From indie games, hobbiest to full scale studios with millions of budget.

They can be top-down, first person, thirdperson or even a sidescroller. RTS games, platformers, and much more are all possible.

Switch between template tiers #

For some templates we offer several tiers. Each one with their own unique set. It is good to knowthat you can upgrade anytime so feel free to start with the starter tier and just check if it is up to your liking.

• WHAT ARE TEMPLATES?

Definition #

Templates are complete, ready-to-use collections of multiple systems that have been configured and integrated for specific game genres.

Simple Explanation:

Individual System:

• Inventory System (one system)
• Set up for general use
• You integrate with other systems

Template:

• Inventory + Equipment + Crafting + Quests + Attributes + Building + …
• All systems pre-configured for genre (RPG, Survival, Shooter)
• Already integrated and working together
• Includes example content and data

What Makes a Template:

• Multiple Systems: 5-15+ systems combined
• Genre Configuration: Systems set up for specific genre (RPG, Survival, etc.)
• Pre-Made Content: Data tables filled with example items, quests, etc.
• Example Maps: Technical demonstration maps showing features
• Integration: All systems working together out of the box

Template vs. Individual Systems #

Individual Systems:

2. Configure inventory data table
3. Set up UI
4. Test inventory

You buy Crafting System:

1. Set up crafting component
2. Configure crafting data table
3. Integrate with inventory (manual work)
4. Set up crafting UI
5. Test crafting with inventory
6. Fix integration issues

You buy Equipment System:

1. Set up equipment component
2. Configure equipment data table
3. Integrate with inventory (manual work)
4. Integrate with crafting (manual work)
5. Set up equipment UI
6. Test all three systems together
7. Fix integration issues

Result:

• Hours/days of integration work
• Potential bugs and conflicts
• Need to learn how systems connect

With Template:

You buy Survival Template:

1. Open template
2. All systems already integrated
3. Data tables already filled with examples
4. UI already connected
5. Example map shows everything working

Result:

• No integration work
• No conflicts
• Everything working together immediately
• Can focus on your game content

Integration Examples in Template:

Survival Template Integration:

Gathering System → Inventory System:

• Want to save money
• Want to save integration time
• Want example content and setup

Buy Individual Systems If:

• Only need 1-2 specific systems
• Building unique genre not covered by templates
• Want maximum customization from scratch
• Already have some systems and need specific additions

Example Maps and Data #

Templates include more content than individual systems.

Individual System:

Inventory System includes:

• Empty/minimal data table (DT_Items)

How templates work #

Genre-Agnostic Components #

Key Concept:

Individual systems are genre-agnostic (can be used in any genre). Templates configure them for specific genres.

What Does Genre-Agnostic Mean?:

Inventory System:

• Can be used in RPG (swords, potions, quest items)
• Can be used in Survival (wood, food, tools)
• Can be used in Shooter (weapons, ammo, attachments)

The system is the same, configuration is different.

RPG Template:

• Inventory holds: Swords, Armor, Potions, Quest Items
• Weight limit based on character strength
• Item rarity (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary)
• Quest item tags
• Can't drop quest items

Survival Template:

• Inventory holds: Wood, Stone, Food, Tools, Weapons
• Weight limit based on backpack
• Item durability
• Item spoilage (food rots over time)
• Can drop/destroy any item

Shooter Template:

• Inventory holds: Weapons, Ammo, Attachments, Gear
• Limited slots (tactical realism)
• No weight, slot-based
• Weapon condition/durability
• Quick-access slots for combat

Same inventory system, different configuration.

• ✅ Systems are reusable across genres
• ✅ Can mix systems from different templates
• ✅ Flexible customization
• ✅ Templates just provide starting configuration

Genre-Specific Configuration #

Templates configure genre-agnostic systems for specific gameplay.

What Gets Configured:

Data Tables:

RPG Template:

• DT_Items: Swords, Spells, Potions
• DT_Equipment: Class-based armor
• DT_Quests: Story quests
• DT_Attributes: Strength, Intelligence, etc.

Survival Template:

• DT_Items: Resources, Tools, Food
• DT_Equipment: Survival gear
• DT_Crafting: Survival recipes
• DT_Attributes: Hunger, Thirst, Temperature

Shooter Template:

• DT_Items: Weapons, Ammo
• DT_Equipment: Tactical gear
• DT_Attachments: Weapon mods
• DT_Attributes: Health, Stamina, Armor

Component Settings:

Attribute System in RPG:

• Attributes: Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity
• Regeneration: Health and Mana regen
• State Effects: Buffs, Debuffs

Attribute System in Survival:

• Attributes: Hunger, Thirst, Temperature, Stamina
• Degradation: Hunger decreases over time
• State Effects: Cold, Hot, Starving, Dehydrated

UI Layout:

RPG UI:

• Fantasy themed
• Quest journal prominent
• Character stats visible
• Class and level display

Survival UI:

• Minimalist
• Survival stats (hunger, thirst, temp)
• Crafting menu accessible
• Building mode toggle

Shooter UI:

• Tactical/modern themed
• Ammo counter prominent
• Weapon info display
• Loadout selector

System Integration #

Templates show how multiple systems work together.

Integration Example – Survival Template:

Scenario: Player gathers wood and crafts an axe

1. Gathering System:

 - Player hits tree
 - Tree yields wood resource

1. Inventory System:

 - Wood added to inventory
 - Inventory weight updated
 - UI refreshed

1. Crafting System:

 - Player opens crafting menu
 - Sees "Axe" recipe (requires wood + stone)
 - Clicks craft

1. Crafting checks Inventory:

 - Has wood? Yes
 - Has stone? Yes
 - Consumes ingredients

1. Crafting creates Axe:

 - Axe added to inventory
 - UI shows new axe

1. Equipment System:

 - Player equips axe from inventory
 - Axe appears in hand (mesh)
 - Can now gather faster

1. Attribute System:

 - Gathering consumes stamina
 - Low stamina = slower gathering
 - Eating food restores stamina

All these systems work together automatically in the template!

Integration Benefits:

• ✅ No manual hookup needed
• ✅ Systems communicate correctly
• ✅ Data flows between systems
• ✅ UI updates across all systems
• ✅ Can focus on your game, not integration

---

Bundle configurator #

What Is the Bundle Configurator? #
