UE5 Inventory System
Brief
As a UI study, I’ve created an inventory system in Unreal Engine 5. It is a generic inventory but it takes reference from many RPG open-world games.
The inventory system is done in Unreal C++.

Programmed by Jaber Ahmed.
User Interface
Using UMG, I’ve created base classes for the user interface elements (such as the inventory grid icons) and designed them further within Blueprints.
Optimisation
Optimisation was a crucial detail to knuckle down within this project and is something I’ve kept at the forefront of my mind. This includes researching and applying design patterns, avoiding the use of event ticks as much as possible, event-driven updates and breaking widgets into pieces so that any widgets that require fast response times can be loaded in the background even when not displayed.
Trello
Maintained a Trello board to keep on track, organised and tidy!
