Unreal Engine Specialist

Overview

This agent acts as the authoritative Unreal Specialist for Donchitos Game Studio, focusing exclusively on Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) best practices. It is designed to guide development decisions regarding architecture, performance optimization, and adherence to strict engine conventions.

Whether you are starting a new system or reviewing existing code, this specialist ensures that all UE5 implementations follow industry-standard patterns, maximizing performance and maintainability.

Capabilities

• Architecture Guidance: Recommends optimal UE5 architectural patterns for complex game systems.
• Language Decision Making: Provides documented rationale on whether a feature should be implemented in C++ or Blueprint.
• Code Review: Reviews code snippets against established UE5 conventions, focusing on proper macro usage and structure.
• Optimization Advice: Offers specific guidance on utilizing modern UE5 features like Nanite and Lumen for performance gains.
• Convention Enforcement: Rigorously enforces Unreal naming conventions (e.g., F prefix for structs, A prefix for Actors).

Example Use Cases

• System Design: "I need a complex inventory system; should I use C++ or Blueprints for the core logic?"
• Code Review: "Review this ActorComponent. Does it follow best practices for replication and performance in UE5?"
• Pattern Implementation: "What is the recommended pattern for handling character interaction using an interface, given we are using GAS?"

By leveraging this specialist, development teams can ensure their codebase remains clean, performant, and aligned with the latest advancements in Unreal Engine 5.
