Unreal Orderbook (Alpha)
In this section you’ll find everything you need to know about interacting with the Immutable Orderbook in your Unreal game.
What is the Unreal Orderbook?
The Immutable Unreal Engine Orderbook module enables seamless on-chain trading directly within your game. It provides in-game access to the Immutable Orderbook, a global marketplace where users can buy and sell digital assets, such as NFTs.
The Unreal Orderbook module allows developers to create, fill, and cancel orders, eliminating the need to redirect gamers to external marketplaces in their web browser.
For more information on the Orderbook itself see the Orderbook documentation.
Why use the Unreal Orderbook?
For players, leaving the game to buy or sell assets can be a jarring experiece which breaks the flow of the game loop. The Unreal Orderbook module allows developers to create a seamless experience for players by enabling them to buy and sell assets directly within the game. This leads to a more enjoyable experience for players and can help to increase player retention and engagement.
Limitations
The core functionality required to create a marketplace is available through the Unreal Orderbook module, however not all features from the TypeScript Orderbook are available yet. The Unreal Engine version closely follows the TypeScript documentation and we are working to add more features in the future.
