Unreal Engine 5 Developer (Blueprints / Data-Driven Dialogue Prototype) Independent project (Education / Simulation) Private Investigator–led training prototype (Not a traditional game studio)

**Responsibilities**

(Note: I have a more detailed doc sharing what I'm looking for just let me know where you'd like me to send it.)

Set up a simple Unreal Engine 5 project focused on branching, choice-driven dialogue

Implement a data-driven dialogue system using Data Tables (not hard-coded Blueprint logic)

Create Blueprint logic that reads dialogue data and drives:

dialogue flow

player choices

branching paths and endings

Build a basic text-only dialogue UI with clickable options

Configure a small scene with:

first-person camera

one stationary NPC (default UE mannequin)

Ensure the system is:

cleanly structured

easy to extend

future-proof for later MetaHuman use

Provide a clean handoff with light documentation or comments explaining how to:

add dialogue rows

add branches/endings

swap the character later

Budget range is ~$600–$950 USD, paid by milestones (open to discussion).

I’m also happy to: share a detailed written project brief, Would love to have a chat to clarify and answer questions
