Unreal Chuck Game

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

Chuck RPG UE5 standalone game client. The playable build (distinct from the Unreal Chuck dedicated server) is compiled from the monorepo source at apps/chuckrpg/unreal-chuck (Content pulled from the chuck Forgejo LFS endpoint) and shipped to itch.io under kbve/chuckrpg.

Pipeline

Section titled “Pipeline”

pipeline: unreal_game → ci-main.yml dispatches ci-unreal.yml (task: game) → ci-unreal-build.yml (mode: game) whenever the MDX version: here outpaces version.toml, or source_path files change.

Build Matrix

Section titled “Build Matrix”

engine.build_targets:

  • Win64 — native build on the UE5-Win KubeVirt VM (RunUAT.bat)
  • Linux — BuildCookRun in the cached Epic UE Docker image on arc-runner-ue

Mac is stubbed until the macos-builder VM is provisioned.

Distribution

Section titled “Distribution”

Ships to itch.io kbve/chuckrpg, one channel per platform (win64-v<version>, linux-v<version>). Requires the butler_api secret.

Release

Section titled “Release”

Bump version: above version.toml (apps/chuckrpg/unreal-chuck/version.toml), run npx nx run astro-kbve:sync:ci-manifest, commit. The next ci-main run fans out the game build + itch upload for this entry.

Source: monorepo now, KBVE/chuck later

Section titled “Source: monorepo now, KBVE/chuck later”

Builds source from the lightweight monorepo shell apps/chuckrpg/unreal-chuck — small and fast, so it doubles as the build/test loop for the UE plugins in packages/unreal/. Later we expand to the full external game repo KBVE/chuck by re-adding the engine.external_repo_url branch (clone external when set, else monorepo). Tracked in #11828.
