Product Summary:
Procedural NPC Crowds Pro is an AI character and pathfinding framework for Unreal Engine 5 that allows developers to quickly add large-scale NPC crowds with automatic pathfinding support and built-in optimization tools for character classes.
It was originally designed for our own internal projects, then expanded to help other developers create AI crowds for their game worlds more easily.
Design Philosophy:
Procedural NPC Crowds is built and updated with a singular purpose: to make worlds feel alive with NPCs quickly while keeping their behavior intelligent.
To achieve this, every feature is designed around simple tools such as splines, navmeshes, and character classes. As a developer, you only need to place one of the included spline blueprints in your level, enable the required project settings, and the system will work.
Demo content is included and uses the Unreal mannequin to help you get started.
No Genre Lock-in:
All features are designed to be easy to set up while still being extensible to support your own gameplay, story, and level design. Whether it’s an RPG town, a supermarket, or a bustling city, the plugin adapts to your project.
If you need more than the pathfinding or want custom behaviors, the included tools let you build them quickly using Blueprints, with pre-made interfaces, components, and the same systems you already use in your game.
Customer Support Matters to Us:
Epic Games has a motto: “When you succeed, we succeed.” We follow the same idea with our tools.
If you need help with setup, guidance on the best way to extend the plugin, minor custom modifications in C++, or even a refund if the product isn’t what you expected, we provide all of that at no extra cost.
We want you to feel confident that your money is well spent, and that we earn your trust by supporting the developers who use our tools.
Update Commitment:
When we release updates for our products, including Procedural NPC Crowds and our other tools on Fab, we aim to support all customers whenever possible. Fab has a policy that limits sellers to the three most recent engine versions for new releases, but on our Discord we provide custom downloads for older versions upon request for all verified buyers.
Performance Note:
Performance will vary based on asset complexity and scene setup. CPU and GPU load increase with more detailed meshes, animations, materials, and lighting. Procedural NPC Crowds includes tools to assist with CPU load at scale for AI characters; it does not directly assist with GPU load or CPU load in all places, such as animation blueprints.
