    I'm all for more people getting into making 2D and 2D/3D Hybrids in Unreal Engine.
    But this video is completely soulless and misses the point.... sorry.
    You're not touching upon any of the REAL concerns people have when comparing UE 2D to Unity an Godot and aren't bringing up the REAL strengths Unreal has over them.
    C++ definitely isn't the reason you should choose Unreal.

      And just as a followup.
      Sorry if that comment was a bit harsh.
      Just looked through your Udemy page and it appears you're just a young guy trying to build up a business and there's nothing wrong with that.
      When I was that age I was just sitting on my ass playing WoW all day, so good on you.
      It's just that people can tell if you're not being genuine and just wanna sell them something by throwing fancy words around.
      So it's probably better to rethink your strategy and create a new niche for yourself about something you're really passionate and knowledgeable about.
      The venn diagram on 'finding a niche' was really helpful for me when I got started.

      Hey! You're right, focusing on C++ wasn't the best part for comparisons. I just want to show that Unreal is a viable option as well. It's for users that want to make a game in 2D Unreal engine with C++. That's the point I was trying to make. Thanks for your comment.

      I was just about to write an equivalent answer.
      The main aspect of why people are moving now away from Unity is their change in the cost system. The extra cost per install introduced around 9 months ago is not sustainable for small studios or FreeToPlay.
      But the knowledge and the already existing games will give current game developers studios a hard time. E.g. domain knowledge.
      In Unity you also have a kind of blueprint, with visual scripting options.
      What is called a blueprint in UE.
      In Unity and UE is a Shop with assets integrated. So you will not miss it, but UE got frequently more free stuff.
      C++ is used in UE, just like in GoDot, where you can use GoDot Script, VisualScript, C# and with GDExtension C and C++. GoDot got more community-supported languages.
      In Unity the predominant language is C#, there used to be Unity Script, but that has been abolished.
      I thought your video would go deeper or in a comparing direction.

    Unity offers a great platform for 2D development, but the recent license changes can be a turnoff for some creators. 2D in Unreal, it might be worth checking out!

    • @s4r14k
      @s4r14k  24 дня назад

      Yeah, you can make an entire game with Blueprints. But if you're looking on optimisation or performance, Unreal C++ is the best way.

    "To see UE capabilities to make a 2D game, look no further than a 3D game!" Dude, Octopath Traveler II is literally a 3D game with pixelated textures.

      Unreal C++ is absolutely overkill for 2D game development. You can do it, but it's going to be a lot harder than Unity (with C#) or Godot (with GDScript or C#). Unreal has Blueprints, which is a visual scripting language which will make things easier, but you don't really learn how to structure code that way if you're not using it in conjunction with C++. It's a valid option with plenty of tutorials out there, though.
      Having used Unreal, Unity and Godot, I'd recommend Godot to a total beginner. GDScript is by far the easiest language to pick up, and it's basically built for 2D (though I love making 3D games in Godot too!)
      Just my two cents

    Unreal for 2D is a horrible idea. The engine isn't build for it, and the "HD 2D" style seen in Octopath Traveler isn't even 2D. It's 3D with 2D character sprites and it required custom tools and plugins to accomplish.
    2D isn't a focus for engine development either. So if you need a missing feature, good luck codding it from scratch yourself or finding someone who already has.
    The argument for C++ performance is also rather weak, as performance hits, due to the language you are using, are rather negligible in game development, unless you're doing highly technical work. A lot of other things impact performance far more.
    If you wish to make a 2D game, please don't use Unreal. Unity, Godot, Game Maker, and several dozen other options out there, provide far better 2D development support.

    Don't.... just don't. Unreal Engine is terrible for 2D games, and saying that it is good because of "the power of C++" is a complete lie! You can literally extract more performance from Unity with C# using DOTS than with Unreal using C++

    • @s4r14k
      @s4r14k  23 дня назад

      While Unreal Engine is known for its 3D prowess, it can be used for 2D development as well. However, you're absolutely right that Unity is generally considered a better choice for beginners in 2D game development.
      Unity has a more streamlined workflow for 2D projects, with a wider range of dedicated tools and resources. For learning purposes, the C# scripting language in Unity might also be easier to pick up compared to C++ in Unreal.
