it took you 36 minutes to complete this all while explaining every step. It took me 12 hours to complete this following every step. My first time using Unreal Engine and my first time creating a game. Such a great feeling. Thank you for uploading this.

In case anyone has the same issue as I had : if one of your texture changes color when it becomes a tileset (the third background became green when I made it a tileset), click on the texture then search for compression and change the compression settings to Defaut DTX1 instead of "Normalmap"

[simonatkins]

One of the very rare tutorials i was able to follow start to finish without a hiccup, very well explained, well done!

[mgul]

I don't make games, but I love watching this stuff. Really nicely explained - perhaps I'll dig into a game some day. Chained Echoes was super inspiring.

Using this as a 40 year old construction worker to see if an old man can actually retrain and learn a whole new skill set. Thanks for this. Always wanted to see if I could make something.

at exactly 1:44. I paused the video to really appreciate the most straightforward video in the history of youtube. in less than 2 minutes I had an idea of how to set up a 2d scene in Unreal Engine. As a Unity user who wants to learn Unreal for my development. This is helpful...also I went into my room to bring a hammer to SMASH the Like and SUBSCRIBE

omg dont delete this video this saved my life thank u very much

[paledolphin]

Great tutorial, a few points I wanted to add:
- As people in the comments pointed out, 3rd background tileset needs to have compression settings changed to show properly.
- Movement speed should be decreased in the Character Movement component (parameter is called Max Walk Speed).
- There's some bug after jumping, which stops any animation (only shows 1st frame of the flipbook), not sure if it's 5.2 issue or not.

Thanks ! This is so helpful and clear explained. 👍

[HambOoO]

this is def one of the best tutorials I have seen about the topic. thank you!

[punkx]

Thank you!!! Your tutorial is very great! I previously watched older tutorials and I had a problem in terms of character spawning using Player start. The problem was that he didn't show up. But you showed in the lesson what I was missing and the problem disappeared

I know Unreal inside and out for 3D but have always wanted to try 2D. This is easily one of the clearest to follow tutorials explaining how to set things up.

[lostkraken]

This was an extremely useful tutorial I was able to build out my own level and get my animations working properly. Thanks for the help keep it up!

Fantastic video tutorial on UE and 2D... many thanks man.

[WesleyR]

Wow im impressed a really good tutorial, i have been trying to get into unity for years all creators use templates none teach sht, i remember Unreal might work to do 2d games and found myself a good tutorial with someone doing step by step without letting a single info go away, really good job.

[sarahalmarsumi-ndgp]

This was very easy to understand and I followed easily with your explanation, thank you!

[Sleepyfye]

Wow, that looks really good. I only just started my game making journey, but wow out of every video i have seen on unreal engine this is probably the coolest/most beautiful designed tutorial holy shit.

[wizards-themagicalconcert]

Good content mate, Thanks and subbed !

[clayjar]

What a great tutorial! Keep up the good work!
