I’m trying to make a story-driven WW1 alternate-history game in Unreal Engine 5.
The war itself is real: World War I. The main idea is what if the Allies never won WW1?
You play as Trey, an American soldier, alongside his friend Dre. The story starts with Trey leaving America, training, and crossing the Atlantic to France. From there, the player experiences the war through Trey and Dre’s story, including the trenches, battles, and everything they go through together.
Eventually, history takes a different path. The Allies lose the war, and a King takes control. The story continues after the war and follows Trey and Dre as they deal with the world created by that alternate outcome.
I want the game to be story-focused, emotional, and cinematic, with Trey and Dre’s friendship being a major part of it. It’s not supposed to just be a shooting game.
I’m basically starting from scratch in Unreal Engine 5, and I’m looking for someone who already knows UE5 and wants to actually build the game with me. I need help with things like Blueprints, gameplay, environments, NPCs, animations, cinematics, and the technical side of development.
I’m not looking to pay someone. I’m looking for a hobby collaborator who genuinely wants to work on the project with me. I’ll handle the story and creative direction, and we can build the game together.
