Get my 12 hour course on how to make 2D games with Unreal Engine: tinyurl.com/Ultimate2D If you're using UE 5.1 or higher and are having trouble with the Input system, there's an updated video which covers something similar to this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gM-omM6UvtDdaZ8.html

After the BS that Unity is doing at the moment, I'm seriously considering using Unreal Engine now. Thank you for the video!

This is so nicely paced and well explained. I'll definitely be coming back to this one from time to time.

Support Cobra Code on Patreon: www.patreon.com/CobraCode Didn't expect this video to get such a great reception. Thanks everybody! Also thanks to Ludvík Koutný for pointing out a better method of setting the exposure than using Max Brightness. I can confirm that setting Metering Mode to Manual and then playing around with the Exposure Compensation Value (In my case 10.0 was best) is a more stable way of fixing the exposure, so please set that on your camera under Lens->Exposure instead!

Absolutely legendary. Thank you so much for all of this. i feel like I can make any 2D game I want now!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! You’re an absolute blessing. I am completely new to Unreal and game development and this is such a well-explained video.

This is a pretty amazing Tutorial, very great explained! Thank you so much for sharing this gold!

I highly rate this video, it's a nice, easy to pick up explanation of how to make a 2D came. No waffle and no nonsense, love it! Please make more.

2d in UE5 is like using a bazooka to kill a fly.

The clarity of voice is excellent! Thank you

At 6:40 I recommend scaling up the sprite, or the scale of any 3d objects added in the future will be mega scaled down. It's so important to get the scale right at the beginning

You've actually got so quality stuff on your channel. Keep that up man!

I hope this makes it a bit easier to get started with 2D in UE. Let me see some F's in the comments for our fallen hero the 2d Side Scroller Template.

But still able to explain each stage in a basic manner. Honestly thanks man!

working with 2D in UE really lacks tutorial videos. Thank you dude.

Love the tutorial, it helps me a lot to make things on Unreal!

This video is really good, I learned a lot -- thank you, and the flip books and coding in the character remind me of the blueprint animation setups -- I can't wait to see any more 2D tutorials from you!

When I make tilemap I found there're annoying ugly lines around tiles. If you have ever met the same problem like me, there is a solution. Open the texture "tileset" and set Texture Group to 2D Pixels(unfiltered) , Compression Settings to UserInterface2D(RGBA). You'll fix it.😄

this is the video that started my game dev journey, thank you alot

I just tried this method and it really works perfectly for me. Thank you.

G.R.E.A.T. - thank you bro! fast, very concentrated to the basics! good work!

WOW! Thank you so much! Please do more tutors on UE 5 game design for beginners

Thanks for repackaging the Sunnyland files, I was getting turned around trying to reorder them myself, and then decided to read the video description to see if I missed something.

I m so happy to find this tutorial. It's working for me. Thank you for sharing

This is my first time with Unreal engine and I just lost it the moment I created the flip book :_) so beautiful

WOW, in 22 minutes you did learn this much stuffs which so useful, so clear and easy to follow for beginners, congratulations, great tutorial.

Thank you for that. I love watching your video and the fact that you share your actual results makes you more of an authority in my eyes 👏👏👏

Would Love to see a part 2 where you make a mario clone and show enemies with interactions etc and how to set up an end goal

Nice work! Thanks for sharing. Could you show us next how to make some basic enemies with AI and some traps?

I can't believe I finished work today and finally check marked on that task "Make a basic game in Unreal Engine" in less than 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for this great video! ♥

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!

Very nice video! Thanks! One thing though: That "auto-exposure" and brightness thing, right? That's what the tonemapper does. It takes the image rendered by the camera and post processes it. This is done to make unreal engine feel more realistic. Basically, the tonemapper takes HDR (High dynamic range) and makes it LDR (Low dynamic range) (or SDR (Standard dynamic range)). For example, in an aircraft, when looking at the cabin, the cabin is nicely lit, but the windows are completely white. When you get close to a window, the auto exposure reduces how much light can get into the camera, and then you can see the outside. That's what unreal engine basically tries to replicate, however, for 2D games, this messes up the image and prevents you from getting a color-accurate result. So, we have to disable the tonemapper. This may also reduce load on the computer. To disable the tonemapper, create a material, open it, set the material domain to "Post Process" and set the blendable location to "Replace Tonemapper" (very important!). Then, in the material graph, create a "SceneTexture:PostProcessInput0" node. Now, because we are overriding the tonemapper, we must do the gamma correction ourselves (which is a good sign, because we now have full control of how the image is displayed). Create 3 ComponentMasks, the first set to R, the second to G, and the third to B. Then, create 3 "LinearTosRGB" nodes. Wire each of the masks into one LinearTosRGB node. Then, add an "AppendMany" node, and connect the R, G, and B channels of the LinearTosRGB nodes to the R, G, and B channels of the AppendMany node. Take the RGB output of the AppendMany node and wire it into the "Emissive Color" input of the material. Now, apply and save the material, close the material editor, then select each camera and find "Rendering Features" -> "Post Processing", and add an entry to the array. Then select post processing material. Now, when viewing the world through the camera, the image should be color-accurate. To make the editor-viewport do that as well, just change the lighting mode from "Lit" to "Unlit" in the top left of the editor-viewport. We could have also used a Post Processing Volume with bounds set to infinite to apply our material to the camera and viewport, but it's your choice.

IF YOUR CHARACTER DOES NOT move: try to click in viewport, so that your mouse will disappear and you will be able to controll the sprite.

This is awesome! Can't wait to try this out, thank you!

You are awesome I've been tired of searching a lot

Im surprised you didnt use PaperZD just because I think it is a massive improvement over the default Paper2D, however ZD isnt free so alot of people may not want to use it. Good video man!

I don't even have unreal engine why am I watching this

Cheers for this awesome post .I finally got an excellent result will this lovely method when I tried it.I am enjoying it now

Thank you very much man, seriously you helped a lot i started from 0 to 10.

Great tutorial man, can you make a tutorial on how to make 2D cutscenes with dialogue? I really wanted Epic to pay more attention to 2D in Unreal, the Godot engine, which is recent, has a better 2D than Unreal, which has been around for much longer than Godot, I think Epic could invest, so it would attract more audience and more indie developers, and also make more money

At end of 10:33 , if you cannot see you player after appending a PlayerStart in the scene, please ensure that if the PlayerStart collision conflict with the background sprite. The Spring Arm will move to the target if the collision happens.

Thanks for this tutorial, following it was my first attempt at UE5 and your guidance was spot on. Definitely earnt the like and sub!🤓

20:07 I can no longer move right, or fall after jumping after constraint. Tried switching it with x axis in case I set it up in that axis but it still doesnt work. Edit: Solved it by switching "plane constraint axis setting" from custom to Use Global Physics Setting. Hopefully this global physics setting wont cause any trouble later -_- Edit2: It didnt constrain the character to the axis, I still need help on this issue please! Edit3: Scratch that, I just set the plane constraint origin to 1 as well, now works properly. I think it was because my world is actually touching the 1 on Y axis? Dunno, but now it works

Changing max brightness in the camera is a wrong way to go about it. It means autoexposure is still used, but clipped at low value. You want to set exposure method to Manual and then use Exposure Compensation to dial in the brightness.

This is so well done! Thank you :)

Great video! Just started learning UE5 yesterday and your channel helped me a lot. Keep it up man

You kinda 'teleport' to lower tiles (if they're close enough) rather than transition to the Falling state unless you jump first. Any idea why this is?

Hi, I'm total beginner and I'm trying this tutorial on Unreal 5.1 but in new version there is something different with moving character. The axis and action mapping are deprecated and I should use enhanced imput and imput mapping contexts instead. How do I do that, please?

KZfaq finaly showing me videos i want to see! Thanks for this, really helpfull!

Awesome tutorial! Thank you!

Hey! This tutorial was of great help! Though I am having a problem setting up collision of slopes in the tile map. When the show collision option is turned on, it shows the entire 16x16 region around the grass as blueish-green, despite the fact that I used the "Add Polygon" option to clearly define the borders of the slope. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how that works. Again, thanks for the tutorial! Edit: I managed to fix my character's height above the slope by playing around with Collision Thickness setting in tileset_TileMap. But my character is unable to go from one slope onto the next. The character does not face any issue while coming down multiple slopes.

This tutorial is really helpful! But a problem I am having is that all of the assets are blurry and the first sprite of each sprite animation has white borders around the sprite.

Super clear and on point ... Thanks

works, keep up the good work man

If you plan to make a game fully in 2d, Unreal is one of the worst possible choices. It's a heavy engine, built specifically for 3d, with some 2d support. If you are making a 2d ONLY game, Godot, GMS2, even Unity are better options

4:55 THIS IS THE dumb question how do you select alllll

this video is the perfect start in Unreal Engine, thanks

I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO YOU HELPED MY FRIEND GRIND EVERY GAME ALL TO YOU THANKS BRO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MAN!

Perfect pace and tone of voice, subbed!

I've found this channel with KZfaq suggestions, and i've already Watch 3 video ! I love your content

Thanks so much for these videos. I would like to be a patreon supporter soon. Youre videos are extremely helpful and simple. Keep making this type of content! We really appreciate it!❤

This is the best turtorial I have ever seen

U made it simple man ur subscribers are well deserved

THANKS FOR THIS IV BEEN SEARCHING FO SOOO LONG

not many video's regarding 2D on Unreal...thanks for these videos, please keep working on it 😁

very nice explanation thank you so much.

Excellent Tutorial... thanks!

Super fast and easy tutorial

Great vid.

Thank you very much for clarification I must try this

I like almost any content you create for us

Good video, need more 2d in unreal

Very Useful !

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

Excellent video.

Thank you. I learned a lot.

Great tutorial!

Gracias por el video, está muy bueno.

Awesome content and video mate,keep it up,subbed !

That was a great vid!

Hello! Thanks so much! Completly new to Unreal and it was a really good first video. Eazy to follow and good pacing! Thanks!

Best video my friend thank you

Holy shit this looks easy and doable for a sunday afternoon. That shall be the plan :D

Awesome!👍

hanks lot Sir.. You helping us..

thanks for this tutorial I can't wait to create my games with Unreal Engine it's my dream of being a video game designer so I could put my name up in the gaming industry.

thank you so much , it worked :)

Thankyou that was ready helpful.

amazing!!

This is the 1º video I'm seeing of unreal 5. Now it looks like a decent engine to work with.

Wow this video is so cool! I just got it done within 30 minutes even though I have 1 issue how the movement sides changed (I think because of the player data because it was heading to the left and not right like in the video so I just flipped it in the scene and that might be wrong)

wanted to start learning how to make games Couldnt decide if I should go for unity or unreal now im here

Keep it up bro

It's a great tutorial, really help making this new whole thing easier to manage and work with. Though I will say, that desipte the good and easy enough to follow guidelines and tips, there were still a few things I felt could have been touched on more, or maybe better explained. For me, that would be carma, since it doesn't really work the way you explained it would. Idk, maybe I am just not smart or I just missed something. Thanks for a really beginner tutorial, and hope you can make more of them, and maybe just give a more tips for small problems some people might face.

Really Helpful!!!

damn thanks love u bro

Thank you very much!!!

This is cool i subscribed!!!

For my final project in one of my undergrad CS classes, we had to make a 2D game for the GameBoy Advance... in C, by hand. Granted the point of the class was to learn how computers work, so using an actual engine would've defeated the entire point, but I'm tempted to try and recreate it in this because it seems way easier
