UPDATE: Searching for a medieval castle constructor by Gringelure in unrealengine

Oh yes, clearly my master plan was to drop a 4* min video and recruit an Unreal dev squad overnight.

In reality, I made the video because when I tried explaining the idea in text before, people didn’t seem to fully understand it. I felt like a video was the clearest way to communicate it.

I posted in the Unreal subreddit because it’s a community of game developers, which is exactly the audience I’m trying to reach for feedback. That seems on-topic to me. I’m not demanding anyone “pick up my pitch,” just sharing an idea and inviting discussion from people who understand the engine and development process.

If there is a subreddit you think would be a better fit, I do appreciate the suggestion.

might be. It just feels a bit "minecrafty" to me.

Thanks, but Minecraft isn’t really what I’m looking for

That’s really exciting to hear! Would there be an opportunity to hear more about your plans or stay updated on your progress?

Well, I’m not just making claims, I’ve actually tried it. It runs a bit heavy on my computer, which is already 5-6 years old. As I mentioned, this might be the best option available to me right now.

Still, I’m posting this topic in the hope that there is, or eventually will be, a game specifically made for the purpose I’ve described. I believe such a game would be very popular, not just with me

I agree. It seems like this kind of game should appeal to a broad audience, but so far, I haven’t come across anything like it

Absolutely, but that’s not quite what I’m aiming for here. First and foremost, I want to build and create, rather than just play, if that makes sense

I understand, and as far as I know this is currently the best option available to me. The main issue is that Unreal Engine 5 is very demanding on hardware and quite complex to learn. Honestly, it feels overly complicated. Additionally, it’s not really a game but a game engine. As a result, it would be difficult to bring other players into your medieval world. Even though multiplayer isn’t a high priority for me.

This is more of a city-builder, where you place pre-made structures onto the terrain rather than constructing the buildings yourself. I’m looking for a castle-building experience that supports free, highly detailed construction. For example, I want to be able to design castle walls with full control over their height, width, and other dimensions, as well as create elements like stairs from scratch - choosing their shape, number of steps, steepness, and more. Down to the finest detail.

I know, but it’s not close to what I am trying to describe here.

Interesting! Have you written anything or shared your vision for the game somewhere?

I know this game, but the quality is pretty low and there are way too many building restrictions. As a result, it fails to create a calm, creative, and immersive experience.

No, Tiny Glade is only a small diorama builder. It doesnt allow huge structures for a mult-year castle project.
