December 11: The Unreal Gameplay Ability System

Ben Howenstein will discuss the Unreal Engine Gameplay Ability System (GAS), including production examples.

After a brief high-level overview of the system and its core concepts, the focus of Ben's talk will be on challenges his studio has encountered (and solved) while building their unique gameplay systems around GAS. The goal of the talk is to save fellow developers some time (and maybe headaches) with their shared experiences.
