This is exactly what ove been looking for. Out of all my hours trying to research this you're the only person I've found who actually shows how to make and use tilesets. I subscribed and will be waiting on more for this series.

2d games and making data for board games using just pieces of paper with payroll receipt calculators. Regarding having proof of the outcome of the events of a paper game with simple vector space maps and content. Regarding simple inventory and so forth. Perfect for books of deciding fates and dice games. Logic of each paper/ page coming like a notebook card stack ringed together in a new certified package (untouched/ never opened). It's really fun with intellectuals who like using gambling and risk taking and low money and social work projects while making copyright stories and coffee house philosophy talks about deciding fate. Regarding how it makes the design of the game of communication be like it is personalized. Thus the 3d filter and making a personal copyright dashboard for 2d paper games when having linked a full receipt together. Especially with Mecha/ robots copyrights and inventions...

Discovering you has brought like a tear to my eye. I was loving UE 5.2 but knew that Godot or Unity may be best for what i need but I didnt like them as much. Now know that the options I have for 2d are here in UE, I am so increadibly happy and going to continue my game dev journey with them.

Hey thanks for the shout out ! Even tho Epic pretty much abandoned Paper2D, the fact that Unreal is so customizable it's why I keep using it !

I really should make the switch to UE5... but as you stated, there's no more 2D template in UE5, which makes it scary.

[AvectaInteractive]

So useful and so so well explained! Thanks!

Yoo That 2d/3d hybrid style looks really good. Any chances that theres gonna be a video on how to change sprite weapons?

[kermosrujji]

thanks, for indie developers, 2D games are the way to go, and really there is not enough tutorials to get going, so thanks for these videos, but in my opinion don't make single videos with different topics, it should be series that cover at least 2 levels for any game.
i mean if you plan to make a series for 2D shooter, at least make 2 levels, and not just one level with boss fight at the end of second level if possible, this way it will be easier for us to follow ...

I’m curious, what is the difference between paper 2d and paperzd? Which one would you recommend now?

[angelmesa]

Awesome video ❤, please more videos about 2d.

[DayzeXzxR]

If I'm making a 2D game, does it make sense to use UE5? Will I lose something if I stay on UE4?

[yudiarsana]

You pump me soo much and id like to learn the software.
Have you think about to make this into a course for beginner that just start UE5? thankyou

[--Aeon--]

amazing!!! what's the difference between paper 2d and paper zd?

[StmPunkPrivateer]

could you please do a tutorial on how to do a top down 2d ? I know it can be done with what you explained but I need a video to make it click.

[MoonrayMurray]

I am having alot of issues with getting my sprites to look the exact same as they do in other programs, it seems whenever I click run on the project it adds a bunch of different filters and lighting effects too the sprite, I have tried turning off all these features but it doesn't seem to help, if you could give me some advice that would be awesome!
