Add-On Game Project – Rules & Guidelines

Welcome to the Add-On Game Project, a collaborative Unreal Engine experience where developers from the community take turns adding one feature at a time to a shared project.

This is a creative sandbox for both beginners and experienced devs, focused on fun, learning, and teamwork — not competition.

Project Overview

  • One person at a time receives the project.

  • Each participant gets 48 hours to add one feature or mechanic.

  • After your turn, you zip the project and send it directly to me.

  • The next developer continues from where you left off.

The base project is built in Unreal Engine 5.6, using the Combat Variant. The game type is Top Down but the theme and additions are open.

Contribution Guidelines

Allowed:

  • Adding one mechanic or feature per turn

  • Modular and clearly named Blueprints (e.g., BP_Fireball_John)

  • Commenting your Blueprints and logic

  • Adding your name to the changelog

  • Using only free or original assets

Not Allowed:

    • Deleting another participant’s work

    • Breaking core systems or overwriting existing mechanics

    • Using paid Marketplace assets, third-party plugins, or external dependencies

    • Adding content that crashes the game or editor

Community Standards

This is a community-driven project intended to be inclusive, respectful, and fun for all participants.

Prohibited Content:

  • Racism, hate speech, or Nazi propaganda

  • Sexism, harassment, or discrimination

  • NSFW or sexually explicit content

  • Intentionally offensive, trolling, or harmful submissions

  • Political or religious messaging

Privacy Policy:

    • This is a private collaboration project

    • Do not share the project outside the approved participant group

    • Only active Add-On Game members may access or contribute

Changelog Instructions

All contributors must update the Data Table-based changelog after their turn.

Please include the following in your entry:

  • Version ID (e.g., v03)

  • Contributor Name

  • Date

  • Change Summary (multiline entries supported)

This helps future contributors understand what’s been added and where to find it.

Project Submission Process

  • Receive the zipped project from the organizer.
  • Unzip and confirm it opens in Unreal Engine 5.6.
  • Add your mechanic or feature.
  • Test your addition to ensure it doesn’t break anything.
  • Add your entry to the changelog.
  • Zip the entire project folder using this format:
    AddonGame_v04_YourName.zip
  • Send the file directly to the organizer for validation.

Questions or Help

If you’re unsure how to contribute, have a technical question, or need feedback, reach out to me or ask in the project chat.

Final Note

    • This project is meant to be a lightweight, creative collaboration — a place to explore ideas, learn from each other, and build something unique together.

      Please respect the guidelines and enjoy the process.
