Thank you for this video. I have been following 2D tutorials for a couple of days and running into multiple issues with it. In your video, you addressed the most recent issue I had not been able to resolve. The Springarm rotation setting from Relative to World has helped relieve a huge headache for me.

@TheCoolSquare 4 ай бұрын

One very important setting that you didn't mention is "Screen Percentage". By default in UE this is set to "Auto" and when using resolutions above a threshold (in my case, 720p, not sure if it differs), it will actually render the game at a lower resolution and upscale it. You want to set this setting to "Manual" and make sure that the corresponding percentage is set to "100". This is a rather tricky thing to figure out because it only happens in packaged Shipping builds, and not in the editor. If you don't do this, your packaged builds will look blurry above 720p and appear to be some sort of anti-aliasing/texture filtering, but searching for those terms won't point you in the right direction.

Thank you for the suggestion. That one already has the Enhanced Input System, so it's not as urgent. But yeah there were a lot of issues with the sprite sheet I was using and basically half the video was just fixing the sprite sheet and making animations, which was a good teachable moment, but it also messed with the flow of the video. I would love to just draw a sheet myself and supply it as a json, so people can just drag and drop it to generate all animations on the fly. That would make the video much smoother. I do need to space out these remasters a bit though because I don't want to just rehash stuff.

I've since bought your course on Udemy. I'm a little over half an hour into it at this point, and I'm loving it so far. I really appreciate that you took time to take a deeper dive into the basics of the Unreal Engine in the full course. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed this tutorial. It's a lot more of the same as you get in this tutorial and worth it. You pack a lot of good stuff in a simple, concise timeline. Making finished products is that dopamine hit that gets me going, and that's exactly what you deliver. I can learn all the minutiae later.

I've been making a 3D game in UE5 for close to 2 years, and I recently looked into Godot as I was curious what making 2D games for it is like when I'm done. The game in mind isn't just "standard 2D game" so I ran into issues of not really knowing how to do something and also no tutorials available to help me. I found myself thinking "man, if only I could just do this like a UE5 project, I know how to do that there..." and I kept thinking the same thing: "well why don't I just use UE5 then?". So, my point here is I understand the people asking "why?" for making 2D in UE5, but I feel like in the time it would take me to properly learn Godot (especially for a non-standard project) I could just use that same time to have a base of the game done in UE5. Making 2D games in UE5 is like Minecraft being made in Java. There's a lot of problems with it, but you can't argue with results and familiarity.

Hey, I recently went through your first Udemy course and really got a lot out of it, helped me really get an appreciation for UE's usefulness with making 2D games. I hope that in a future tutorial you'll be open to showing practical application of Blueprint Interfaces as an alternative to repeat casting. In your course you mentioned that it would be a huge side tangent and I agree that's true for a beginner, but should you ever make a course for intermediate users I hope you would make it part of the workflow. It seems so valuable that Interfaces seem like something that should be taught as a default approach, but my own research into the subject has left me lacking clarity...

@CobraCode 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much. ... yeah interfaces are a topic I'm a bit afraid of including in courses. I believe that even if I explain it, most viewers that don't have a background in programming won't grasp it and then they'll be left confused throughout the rest of the course. The best approach is probably just to make a KZfaq video that goes really in depth and then just link that in the course to give intermediate users the option of using it.

@JonathanPriceArt 4 ай бұрын

@@CobraCode I hope you'll be willing and able to go into it at some point. I've been trying to understand Interfaces myself and while I get how they work, a practical application directly related to retro-style gameplay through your teaching style would probably clear a lot of things up for me and others interested in the topic.

Hey :D I don't have much experience with multiplayer in Unity, but Unreal Engine is built from the ground up with multiplayer in mind. You already have a working online game by just setting the player count to 2 and using the character movement component that has built in replication. All the stuff you build custom on top of that will need replication implemented manually though.

I am a solo developer who is familiar with unity for a long time, but i never got the chance to learn unreal engine. with watching this unreal tutorial, i felt like stupid not using unreal long time ago. the program ui is so simple, yet complex, everything is easy to navigate. even character movements are suprisingly easy to use and create. i was suprised when creating the character movements you didnt had to do any codings. you convinced me to learn unreal engine from the start and change my engine now!

Thank you so much. I believe Unity is the right choice for some people, however I also wasn't a fan of using it and switched to Unreal 5 years ago. I'm glad you're excited about learning Unreal :D

38:26 Even if everything is done per se, the jumping animation is still not playing. It's just playing the fall animation, even if i put the z value lower than -100. Why could it be? Could it be that i changed animation speed or something?

I originally learned C# in Unity and honestly...I feel like the organization of scripts is easier than the blueprints...maybe I just need to practice more with them.

@CobraCode 4 ай бұрын

Blueprints definitely take some time to get used to. I learned Unity first as well and just did a lot of things with raw C++ before, so I hated blueprints at first. But once you get used to them and are good at organizing them you'll be ~5 times faster than doing things in code.

Yes! All of the base classes the template uses will be the C++ versions instead of Blueprints. You can turn any Blueprint Project into a C++ project later on by just creating your first C++ class in the editor and use both together.

thanks for video ^^ but how to keep game size minimum for mobile games? games made with unity are about 100mb maximum which is great for publishing it on mobile, webgl or anywhere. We need tutorial to learn how to keep it really low in ue5.

@CobraCode 4 ай бұрын

Hey, you can actually get it around 90MB as well with Unreal Engine, as you can see with RockyMullets small games on itch. rockymullet.itch.io/blast-bash AFAIK you can mostly achieve this by turning off plugins that aren't used (because basically all optional parts of Unreal Engine are handled as plugins). I need to still put more research into this though and also ask him about some tips and tricks and I'll make a video once I have a good overview.

@CobraCode 4 ай бұрын

@@tkokflux6322 Yeah there really aren't that many C++ tutorials. The reason for this is that first of all almost nobody knows how to properly use C++ with unreal unless they actually work at a game company. Secondly because it's very inaccessible and advanced topics don't do well on KZfaq. Reubs has some great tutorials, but they're pretty old. You might be better off looking for paid courses for C++... but even then I don't think there's anything great.

Thank you so much :D I also love sonic and would love to do something like that. I don't have any experience with movement like that though, so would need some research time. You can maybe look into Infinity Engine and look at the blueprints to figure out how they did it!

@@CobraCode Infinity itself doesn't have it unfortunately, you still fly off when you go anything higher than 89.9 degrees, but both Infinity+ and Nova framework use ninjacharacter plugin.

@CobraCode 7 күн бұрын

The easiest way is to just go to the spring arm and set the location to absolute. That way the movement is detached from the parent and you could manually control it. Or you could make a different actor entirely with the camera, that way you'll have to manually 'set target with blend' at the beginning to make it the active camera though.
