UEFN Tycoon Framework

A modular tycoon-game framework built for Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN) to help dev's get on track to build as fast as possible.

🚀 Features

• Fully structured folder setup for tycoon gameplay: economy logic, GUI, assets.
• Device scripts (.verse) for core gameplay: money collection, upgrades, player tracking, etc.
• Asset folders: BPTextures, DRTextures, GBTextures, UI for organizing visual assets.
• License: Apache 2.0 (per the repo).

📦 Folder Structure

/BPTextures           — Battlepass texture assets
/DRTextures           — Daily-reward textures
/GBTextures           — Gift-box textures
/UI                   — User interface assets (Permanently shown)
/devicelist.verse     — Device registry script for regestering all sorts of in-game devices dev might want to modify and use in Assets devce (./tycoon_Assets_device.verse)
/HitBox_device.verse  — Makes a prop hittable by player to reward him with his currect income per second on each hit
/NPC_Killer_device.verse — detects which player kills an NPC to reward him with the players income per second 
/battlepass_main_device.verse  — A Battlepass which levels up with progress made by the player to boost play time
/custom_car_device.verse — Planned device to make ingame cars with custom design purchasable by players
/custom_player.verse — A concrete class with attributes assigned
/daily_reward_device.verse — Keeps track of time to reward returning players daily and boost retention rate
/game_manager_device.verse — Manages mainly a hash-map where players are assigned to custom_player (./custom_player.verse)
/giftbox_device.verse — Reward for players play-time which keeps players engaged
/player_coin_ui_device.verse — Displays all players their (economy) stats on the screen left-side
/tycoon_Assets_device.verse — Connects in-game Assets to the system and manages an array which each tycoon asset is inside
/utils.verse           — Help functions to make framework work

🧠 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/KalikHub/UEFN-Tycoon-framework.git

or download the .verse files from github and import them manually into UEFN

2. Open the project in UEFN.
3. Inspect the tycoon_Assets_device.verse device to understand how the framework wires economy, upgrades, and player interactions.
4. Customize:
   • Replace textures in the /BPTextures, /DRTextures, /GBTextures folders if wanted to.
   • Modify UI (shows player cash stats) images in /UI.
   • Add new device scripts by copying an existing .verse file and adjusting logic for your gameplay.
5. Build & test your tycoon flow: spawn devices, collect money, buy upgrades, see UI updates.

🛠 How to Extend

• Add a new feature: Create new (device) script → test & apply → place in level.
• Add a new UI panel: Duplicate existing UI asset → hook into the according UI device scripts and follow other UI assets calls.
• Change economy numbers: Locate the cost/earning variables in the Device details panel in UEFN or in the .verse files, tweak values.
• Add custom player mechanics: Use custom_player.verse as template and add function's needed to add mechanic.

🎓 Why use this framework?

• Saves dev time: no need to build core tycoon logic from scratch.
• Modular: everything is separated so you can swap or remove / comment out parts easily.
• Flexible: build any tycoon-style game (factory, farm, space station, city builder) with minimal base setup.
• Easy to understand: folder naming & device scripts are intuitive and ready for modification.

✅ Requirements

• Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN) (latest version recommended)
• Basic knowledge of Verse scripting and Fortnite Creative devices
• (Optional) Experience with Unreal Editor, asset management, UI design
