In this video I introduce even more 2D Games made with Unreal Engine that you might not know about.
Companies like Square Enix have pioneered the HD-2D style using Unreal Engine, however there are many more game studios using Unreal Engine for 2D and 2D/3D hybrid games.

These videos always give me a massive boost of inspiration. I love it when you said, "You don't necessarily have to go by the book for creating games" because a lot of people (myself included) keep stressing over "Is this the right method?", "Is this wrong?" when it really doesn't have to be that stressful or complicated and in the end doesnt matter that much. Keep on creating and showing people what's possible!

It's incredible what unreal is capable of. I really like how particle effects and 2d characters in a 3d space are handled.

Games like octopath traveler really do show how stunning the environments can get. I've seen some examples like recreating pokemon towns in the octo artstyle, but no tutorials so far showing how they pulled it off

[nnarcus]

Super inspiring video! And this video got me thinking that it would be super cool to have you share / deep dive into unique tools / design choices and other insights you come across when researching the indie dev space 😊

[compatriot]

4:33 Stuff like Spine and Sprite Studio definitely would be something I'd be interested in learning too.

[VinoVenitasRealOne]

This inspired me. Working on my next 2d game ... So this was nice inspiration.

Very glad to hear about the success of your 2D course, you deserve it! Keep it up the great work. Maybe consider running a game jam amongst your students - might be a fun idea :)

[dolphano]

A great list of games once again, thank you for sharing!!
I'm so glad to see Ender Lilies here, and find it fascinating that they used Spine to animate their characters since that's new information to me (and I'm struggling with the software currently)! The extra background information is greatly appreciated :D

[bcrane]

this looks great! bought the course, hope to learn something and start as a complete beginner :D

Another inspiring, insightful video from Cobra. As an amateur dev who recently switched to Unreal I've been enjoying the journey and seeing what's possible with this fascinating engine. I recommend Cobra's courses on 2D in Unreal Engine; effective, concise lessons from an enthusiastic teacher.

Keep these videos coming!

Triangle Strategy is also done in Unreal Engine, from the same developers of Octopath Traveler. Beautiful game!

Recently started getting into game dev with Unreal but then started to get paralysis, because I don't want to have to learn a new engine if I decide I want to make 2D games. The amount of stuff to learn in each engine is daunting! Ultimately I don't want to feel like my investment in an engine doesn't limit me from doing what I want--even getting a job in the industry.

Your videos make me realize that I can stop worrying about what engine to use and keep going with Unreal

Game 3 has a slight Vanillaware vibe to the art direction and character movement. Looks good!

[Fusionfalls]

I knew at the beginning the "poster child" it would be ender lillies even blurred and that UI peak further confirmed it. I will say the main surprising thing about it is the small file size given the quality of the sprites.

Awesome video as usual and loved going through your course! How is it your seeing the steam estimated revenue in the steam UI?

[BeatEmUpsGuy]

awesome video, someday we will be here as well.

[dbbuchmann]

What's the option on steam to show estimated revenue? It would be amazing to see that on store pages, but this video is the only place I've ever seen this. Example timestamp 4:55

Ok I'm definitely sold on Unreal Engine now. I've spent a couple years in Gamemaker, but I am going to take my projects into Unreal Engine. Change is scary and daunting, but it's become clear that Unreal can offer tools that other engines cannot handle as well. But I'm very much looking forward to taking your course and sharing my contributions to the world. Luckily I haven't gone too deep with my current project. All I would really need to do is import my sprites and continue where I left off. Thanks so very much for providing your teachings so solo devs can turn their dreams into reality. :)

Love the content! Could you perhaps show how to set up basic enemy AI in a top down 2D game? I have been stuck for weeks and can’t find anything online that helps. Cheers!

Great video! I picked up both of Udemy courses recently, it's hard to find time to finish at least one of them for now but I will get there :D
