Glad I was finally able to cover this.
I'm also really grateful to the dev team for putting this information out there!

For the light and particles I would recommend just adding light node in the particle system, it doesn’t require lumen and costs less than spawning a separate light

Just remember that Square has trademarked the term "HD-2D", so while you may use similar style in your game, you can't use or market your game with "HD-2D".

This is one of the best and most helpful UE / Game Dev related videos I have ever seen.

i think HD 2D games are the future for pixel art games. its such a unique and fresh take combining the traditional and new tech

[NadimDoueiri]

I just want to thank you. I've been searching for a few days for this exact content and it's unbelievable you made a video on this topic. I'm learning a lot, thank you very much, amazing work. BTW I'm buying your course <3

[GabrisGamesRoom]

I think that HD 2D is so awesome, is revolutionary. Fantastic video, congrats.

Such a good deal on the course! I bought it on Udemy. I can't wait to dig into the details and specifics to finally get the "HD-2D" look right. It's something I've been struggling with for over a year.

[HOKAIDOOOOO]

I already bought the course, thanks so much for providing it with very cheap cost

[sonfoku]

This is actually extremely helpful I've been looking at isometric vs the HD2D top down look which I find gorgeous

[danielpe]

beauty art, I am going directly to buy the course.

Thank so much for the video, Cobra! I just started your course and I'm loving it! You Did such a great job! Thank you!
I'm on a journey trying to find more content about HD2D, that still lacks. Please bring more HD2D content to the game dev community!

[ScrapyDo]

i love that they put all this info out its really interesting, great video thanks

[compatriot]

Nice summary of the HD-2D process. It definitely is a style that should be used more

[takaw.d]

Thank you Cobra!! this has helped me greatly in my Game dev Journey!!

[blood_and_bacon]

I just started your course thank you very much

[gl.g.]

Just grabbed the full Course! :) Really excited to see how you tackled UE5 (Tick usage, overall Resource management etc). Struggled for the longest time to effectively create and use a Dialogue System. That is the one thing were UE5 falls short, which makes sense because it is meant for Next Gen Games. Not as simple as a RPG Maker haha. Hoping to finally get profound answers in regards to Dialogue System integration. (..and much more!) Thanks for your hard work, Cobra! -Glenn

Very interesting! Some of the aspects covered by this video would also work for hybrid animation mixing 2d and 3d! Thanks for sharing.

It shows massive ignorance on copyright/lawmakers end for allowing the phrase HD-2D to be copyrighted. This is a description of an art style, it would be akin to someone copyrighting the word "cell shaded".

Cobra! Give us a quality Turn based RPG course and my life is yours!
