Thanks for covering 2d top down games! Would absolutely love to see this as a series!!

[@user-gu8qv9cv7w]

Thank you so much Unreal Engine had such a hard time because there was such a lack of lectures on making 2d games, but I never thought you would do this. I'll watch it well

[@spentrillo123]

Incredible information. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@vicwaberub5297]

Interesting would be a WCF (wave collaps function) implementation to build a map procedurally.

[@virtualnk5825]

Hey there, I stumbled upon this great tutorial and I'm wondering where you got those assets? I found some of my own but having similar ones would also help, cheers!

[@spitfyr97]

Im curious if you will ever implement the tilemap into a blueprint. i've personally been steaming my brain about how to find an individual tile with a trace and then getting the tiles center to make sure objects i place on the map are perfectly centered. so far, i've only learned that UE does not support 2darrays well.

hello do you have a tutorial for creating a 2d rope with a character that can hang on and swing on it. THANKS

[@LastIberianLynx_GameDev]

Thanks. Would like to see a tut on isometric 2d games in unreal. That is not very well covered.

[@psdstd]

I want to try making 2D game in UE5 too, thank you.

[@bukharyasagofbukhary4525]

can you teach how to use state tree ai in ue5

[@AndesVII]

What is the file size for a small 2d game on UE5?

[@Skidrj]

Do you mean the size of the exported project?

[@gunterstunter]

This is great! At some point could you make a tutorial of how to have a transition between a 3d and 2d within scenes?
Plucky squire is a great example! If you did a tutorial on how to recreate this in unreal it would be amazing and I’d would be keen to follow them all 😊
