Tip for beginners: It's a good habit to learn from the start not to use ticks for everything, moving the custom animation and rotation event to the end of the InputAxis line will only check your animation needs when you actually moved as you don't need to check it 60 times a second (in a 60fps game) when not doing any movement anyway. Learning to avoid the tick as much as possible from the beginning will help you in your future game creations.

Good tutorial all in all just try and minimize the tick usage even if this optimization is not really needed for a small game like this, bad habits tend to bite you in your behind later on.

When you create the keybindings, you can just press the keyboard icon and then press the key you want to add instead of fiddling around with the dropdown menu.

Well done, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this tutorial, the explanations are clear and the coach is excellent, thank you very much I hope there will be many more tutorials of this quality. This little Unreal platformer project is great

Wow, nice. Thanks for taking the time to do this long video. It surely helps to learn almost everything one needs for a 2D game. God bless.

As a complete beginner to Blueprints and making games, following this was quite easy (even though a lot of parts were very quickly explained), but I don't understand why I am doing most of the stuff. It's basically "Add these nodes, then you can do this", but I have no clue what I am actually doing.

certificate ✅! this makes it look so simple and i realized the hardest part is the assets lol.

2d terrain generation character can punch and place block add inventory system and trade system like pixel world

[turboninja]

you didnt show how to make the block and key just an fyi

[fnanfne]

Love it! Did you ever find a fix for the sprite being able to just walk up ledges and other objects without jumping? You tried to fix this around 29:30 by changing the "Max Out Of Water Step Height" and "Walkable Floor Angle" parameters to 0 (under character movement) to no avail.

Hi Uisco, can you make a fps sliding tutorial ?

[hquxtpn]

Please support 2D more I need to know how the metrodivine camera works

37:51. Курс достатньо непродуманий. Мені як новенькому дуже незручно в неприємно, що я повинен ще розбиратись у фотошопі і в цілому його купляти. Можна ж було окремо його в опис кинути, наче як колір змінений і авторські права вже не стосуються цих спрайтів💁

Пс, щоб зробити так само, можнв скористатись властивістю Color. Замість Set Flickbook знайдіть Set Sprite Color і оберіть зелений.

47:08 відсутні такі шипи. Пс. Замість цього ви можете змінювати Z координату (висоту).

40:30 не показали як додали ключ і двері

Any "your scene contains a skydome mesh with a sky material but it does not cover that part of the screen" problem?

[carlosrivadulla]

I think scaling the sprite to -1 in Z axis is easier than rotate the sprite for the axis movement

[lwc]

I’m 15 minutes in, great vid, everything is working for me except when I got right the sprite disappears but the camera still goes right? Going left works fine? Any help would be appreciated

Where are the assets for this tutorial? I tried all the download links in the description and none of the assets you are using are in those links.
