ABOUT STORY FRAMEWORK
You may ask "Why wouldn't I simply create this myself?". To that I would say, besides the 6+ years of prior Unreal knowledge I've poured into SF, creating all the systems and content SF has to offer from scratch would be extremely time consuming. Convenience is one of the many things SF brings to the table. No need to waste time building these core systems from the ground up. Throughout the entire development process, I've always aimed to create things that I would use myself. Something I would of liked to have If I decide to build a story-driven game one day.
This short explanation is not intended to "sell" you on purchasing the project. SF has become a passion project of mine, and I'm so happy I get to share it with the world. The price SF is currently listed at does not reflect the time and effort I've sunken into developing it, but rather something that won't break the bank.
