Projects using Unreal Engine in ManchesterProjects using Unreal Engine in ManchesterBuilt a Collab Viewer style toolset inside the UE5.5 project and made it reliable for dedicated-server multiplayer. I migrated/merged the Collab architecture into a my project (GameMode, PlayerController, Pawns, PlayerState), fixed reference/compile issues, and wired the tools to our custom UI for both First Person and Orbit pawns.
Key work included replication/RPC cleanup so tools work over a server, plus integrating tools like annotations (text, paint and erase), transform, Datasmith runtime loading (replicated so one client’s load appears for others), measuring/dimension tool (place/edit/delete and unit switching), and bookmarks (place, list UI and teleport with rotation).
A network-ready collaboration layer in custom with UI-driven workflows and server-validated replication, ready for packaging/testing and ongoing polish I recently built a Team Ownership & Economy Simulation System in Unreal Engine 5, inspired by franchise-style management modes where players run a team as a business. The system includes team creation, a weekly simulation loop, and a management dashboard that tracks revenue, expenses, performance score, and team valuation. Revenue is generated from game wins, sponsorships, and media exposure, while expenses include player salaries, marketing spend, and operational costs. Ownership decisions like marketing, facilities, and staff upgrades use escalating costs to encourage strategic trade-offs, with all logic handled through a modular, extensible team manager designed to support multiple teams and future persistence.
