- Just a quick video about some of the most common struggles (in my opinion) when learning Unreal Engine.
To be clear, I'm pretty new with Unreal Engine but I've been enjoying the jurney a lot so far. Remember that you are not gonna learn everything in a day. It takes time and practice.

Having worked in Unreal for the past 4 or so years, I can confirm that at least half of the process is either:
1. Waiting for the code to compile
2. Waiting for shaders to compile
3. Waiting for the level building to be finished
4. Smashing your head on your desk trying to find out why it's crashing
5. All of the above
What method of learning did you use when learning to use Unreal for the first time?
@@supremegodfather9253 i screwed around with it for abt 2 months and then decided to watch some tutorial and it all spiraled from there.
It seems like unity 2d doesn´t have these issues. The same errors were happening again and again when i used Unreal, I finally couldn´t take it anymore after half a year of trying to learn Unreal for 3d and 2d.
Im 3 days into Unity and allready i learned about 40% of what i learned in half a year in Unreal
Waiting for Unreal to start
You forgot about packaging. And deleting files.

Fun fact I'm a full time UE4 developer. And a proper game project takes a lot of time while loading, compiling, bulding, automated testing and existing. I learned Finnish and Spanish also switched to ironman polyphasic sleep. It gives a weird sense of superiority and inferiority complex. You can't get any more unhealty mentally without Unreal Engine.
I'm deciding to buy Intel i5 + 16gb ram + RTX 2060. Will I be able to run Unreal engine 5. Please Help !!
If you are talking about desktop yes you can, however you could have some bottlenecks with Lumen(search for benchmarks with rtx2060) and with 16 gigs of ram you need a lot of virtual memory(you need lots ssd space) for big game. You can live with a 1 tb of ssd but i much prefer a 2tb one. And at worse you will be waiting you can still do a lot of amazing stuff.
@@alperenozturk9235 i will be using unreal for virtual production (mostly cinematic shots). Will I still need 1tb ssd ??

Every game engine developers: We made the most creator friendly engine ever. You don't even need to program anything.
Reality:
Well every engine suits to different individuals. Unity for programmers, Unreal for artists and animators, Godot for ..........?
Point is, Unity, Unreal and Godot are currently more accessible than most other engines. You have to learn and understand the advantages and limitations of the engine.
@@aryabratsahoo7474 Godot for not rich ppl who can buy a supercomputer
@@lemmyboy4107 lmao it just depend of the game you want to make
@@aslack6145 Nah i mean to actually open the Engine and use it. Dude Godot can run on a fucking Browser. I can use my Phone to make a game XD.
Thats really something i highly appriciate as a hobby developer. It starts in 30 sec on my potato tablet and i can work with it.
If i would make big games tho, lack of tools is a big downside.
@@aryabratsahoo7474 godot is for indie devs who work in 2d, Hollow Knight can be a example of what you can do
Me: Oh, let's make a game!
Me, after watching a tutorial on literally every possible game engine: Never mind.
And these tutorials are incomplete, because those don't touch some painful topics like proper pathfinding, behavior tree, algorithmic optimization.
they do a poor job on teaching you how to set up a player controller/player character/ basically make your first ever player controls, which are the first crucial steps to learn an engine and how it works,
if you really wanna learn i recommend to open one of the example projects and then reverse engineer the steps and try to understand what they did and all of that, that's how i started with Unreal
Learning by watching a tutorial is like following the instructions to the book, you get what you searched for but you don’t know how to make it yourself
I agree with the person above about looking at other people’s work and figuring out how to think like them
My path to understand Unity engine:
1: Learn either C# or Java first
2: Learn to navigate in Unity
3: Learn the hotkeys in Unity
4: Watch and code along after buying "Unity 2d full course" from gamedev on Udemy
@@charlieking7600 There are sepperate courses for all of these, but they are heavy topics and i recommend not jumping direcly in without at least knowing something about algorithms and an object oriented programming language like Java or C# first.
I will not recommend C++ no matter how efficiently the code runs. If i don´t know how to write good code in c++ its not going to be efficient anyways.
I've recently been learning Unreal Engine after starting out with Unity and even though working with C++ wasn't as scary as some people made it out to be, I was NOT prepared for all the compiling and having to close and restart the engine that often. Blueprints are pretty straightforward and all other aspects of the engine feel really intuitive to me, but the programming in cpp part has been very unwelcoming so far. Also, I can't imagine having to work without JetBrains Rider anymore.
Unreal is a beautiful engine with a ton of great features though and I hope it'll get as comfortable as working with Unity someday soon.

@@dancemore.....1978 I'm using an RTX 2060 and had used UE5 with 16gb ram before, even though i've upgraded to 32gb ram which is nice to have but not essential.
You should be able to use Unreal Engine 5 well enough with these specs. Having Unreal installed on an SSD drive also seems to improve performance in some areas.
majority of experts recommend using c++ only when absolutely necessary, all those youtube tutorials using c++ for absolutely everything are only doing it as a training example for people to learn, in a real game project 90% of your code would be in blueprint.
Next objective : try godot
as someone who switched from unreal to godot this sounds like a really good video
i wont fully switch to godot until it has shadows that work, and level design tools.
it'll just be like "fk this is easier..."
@@deerdev6511 So ur making 2D Games right ? Good decision than 👍
@@polyhally So Godot 4?
I feel like more people recommend Unreal than use it for longer than even 200 hours.
but de games look sooo pweettty!
@@smileychess oh man the default scene has volumetric lighting and reflections?!?!?! Its definetly 100 times better than Unity, trust me bro
@@W00JDA its sarcasm man
The most accurate comment I've seen so far. During the first 2 months Unreal was awesome. But it was the opposite during the 10 months after.
They just think Unreal is a golden bullet that fix all the problems. Sometimes UE is a problem itself.
I really hate when people say "Oh just use X engine instead!" as if changing to another engine isn't a massive undertaking if you've already spent years learning to use a different one.
Oh, just create an engine yourself!
I can't even install unreal, it's too powerfull for my pc lol
use ue4
same. cant even run ue3
As an intel hd 3000 user,i absolutely agree
PCs trying to install unreal: KIIIILLLL MMMMEEEEE!
you can just use godot. a more forgiving engine in the performance aspect of thing. or you can buy a license for ue1 for like 100,000$
I have never learned any programming language and Blueprint is my boat to sail the ocean of game development
be careful doe , learning a programming language would allow u to move from one game engine to another much easier , im speaking in terms of getting a job where a studio might not always stick with one particular engine ,and although blueprints is really good , C++ allows u to optimize better as well as do better memory management , it helps with mid range to AAA games , might even help indie devs to improve their game performance . Good luckk :))
@@mage_ex8910 why should one move to other engines if he already knows one
As a programmer I can tell you, "real programming" isn't that much different to blueprint scripting. I don't know why people keep saying blueprinting is much easier. If you know blueprints, you know the basic concepts of a programming language. Programming is just plain text instead of nodes, but the functions are the same.
wait until you find out about GAS
@@tripnils7535 As a beginner level programmer I can tell you, while the logic of "real programming" is the same as blueprints, there are a few marked differences. Writing out code really is more difficult than blueprints because blueprints allow you to just drag and drop nodes that represent different snippets of code, while you have to sometimes understand some pretty complex syntax and function structure while writing it out. You're probably just so used to writing code, or so well educated about it that you don't realize how much some people can struggle with it.
Haha I went through the same, but its rewarding once you know how it works. I started with unreal and i learned a formidable amount of c++ outside of unreal and in because unreal has its own c++ environment since you use the functions available from the classes they've implemented. Keep it up, Don't get discouraged, and don't count any other things out like engines and other languages. They all help in the grand scheme of things and your just increasing your toolset to get these things done. :)
I'm deciding to buy Intel i5 + 16gb ram + RTX 2060. Will I be able to run and use Unreal engine 5 properly. Please Help !!
Isn't it like that in normal C++ too (like with inheritance or polymorphism)?
@@_lod Yea that is haha. It's C++ you just gotta familiarize yourself with datatypes unreal uses like FVector, FString, TArray, etc.. and Macros they use like UPROPERTY, UFUNCTION, UENUM. Where as if you werent using the engine you'd just use the regular std::vector or std::string. Once you get familiar with all that it should be easy if your already familiar with C++
Btw do you have a job? Like how did you get started with unreal engine or on the other hand the question is uhh like is it like you have a side income sort of?
@@hqrd9860 I do, but not in programming(i wish/working on it lol). I got started with Unreal after i had looked into programming a game from scratch pretty much. I'm still building and doing research on that to this day, but when i was looking around i found out that UE4 was free to download and develop with so i said why not. Just doing it as a hobby, but ultimately i'd love to work in the gaming industry or in artificial intelligence. I learned so much with all the amazing resources online and looking to hopefully further that knowledge with some programming classes in college
i thought blender was tough this is going to be on a whole new level
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but most added textures and meshes need to be selected one by one and ctrl + s saved because save all and save just doesn't save. If UE crashes, nothing was really saved in the end :)))
I don't know about that, never encountered problems like that, just ctrl+shift+s and it's done (except when for some reason it tries to save an autosave of a map in a different file)
@@icyleamon Oh god, why does it do that map thing? There are times when I'm working on a map, save all, and it creates a new Untitled map...
I remember watching your multiplayer game devlog time ago, youve come a long way since then! Congrats, keep it up!

Me trying UE : "I think that's my 4th crash and recompiling today..."
Unreal is a weird engine, When you first start its a impossible mess to work with, but after a couple of mouths of usage, i found that it became a bit more user friendly in the long term
this sums it up
I honestly don't understand the comments, to me as a beginner who started out on Unity with no knowledge of anything game dev related, I had a very hard time learning anything because it didn't have things like Third Person pre setup for example, and it didn't have such a robust visual scripting system. After switching to Unreal I instantly saw how much easier and more intuitive everything is, and it helped me learn game developement, it also has a great community on youtube and to me it's the best engine out there imo
@@mch43856 What he's trying to say, Neo, is that when you're comfortable with UE5 and C++, then you won't need pre setups.
@@vornamenachname594 Heyy, why call me Neo? xD
@@mch43856 dude only because Unreal has presets doesn't mean it's more beginner friendly. It's good that you found a tool that you like to work with but most people I know that started with Unreal don't really know how to do things properly because they have presets xD. However I agree that it's a great starting point but Unity has had two well made starter assets for 1 or 2 years now. I need to admit that if it wasn't for Unity I would have never learned to program complex systems, and that's why I still use it. But again it's a matter of preference, both are more than capable for anything I'll ever make.

I laughed way too hard at 1:30, 🤣 great stuff, man.
i've just started learning ue5, and man. it really IS easy to make stuff look stunning.
not looking forward to tackling it these issues though.
thankfully i won't have to anytime soon, because i just want to make scenes to use as static background in a visual novel, so i don't need any blueprints, or programing or anything like that. but i do intent to make games in it eventually.
I went from Unity to Unreal as well. The transition is not easy and one of the biggest issues was figuring out how to use pointers. Once you get it though the Engine is amazing and worth the time to learn especially with the new features like luman global illumination and natite vertual geometry. Luman makes lighting amazing and easy to use, and nanite will allow massive worlds with far more things in them then other engines.

Well, I run Unreal Engine 5 on my laptop, it's a HP Victus. It's a bit of a pricy gaming laptop, but it runs Unreal Engine 5 very smoothly with only the occasional crash. As far as crashing goes, it seems to me that Unreal Engine 5 is just a somewhat unstable program, probably no matter what kind of computer you run it on. I could imagine building a super computer with terabytes of memory, and hundreds of GB of RAM, and several of the best graphics cards on the market, etc, and it would probably still crash every now and then
I feel this deep in my soul but the more i pluck away at it the more I’m capable of in the engine and that’s a rewarding feeling. Besides the only other thing I’d do with my time is get deranked in OW.
holy shit edits so good XD

1:16 was me the few times in my life where I had programming classes, my brain was simultaneously on fire and melting rapidly, but was also completely shut down and flat-lined... It hurts my head
The first dive is very imposing and makes you want to go back to your previous engine or just stop coding. But after several hours of coding (maybe 20ish?) you get more familiar. I spent a maybe a few hours every other day learning unreal and after a month I got the basics down. After that, it’s just learning one aspect of the engine at a time
You legit knew I'm gonna ask for the song at the end xD

This is why i love unity, I took the same course as you by game dev in unity 3d.
Same errors, same folders that had to be remade, lots of bs with objects getting forgotten and stuff getting rolled back. Soooo frustrating!!!
I have no doubt that the program is amazing once you really know it, and feel familiar with it. But honnestly, I prefer the relatively easy to access and easy to understand UI of Unity Engine, despite its dissadvantages in compile speed and graphical prowess.
It was fun while it lasted...
@@SeasoningTheObese Are you referring to the dissaster going on at Unity at the moment? xD
Unreal 5 feels a lot more stable and has a lot more features right out of the gate than Unity. When Unity has all of those components separately, such as which render pipeline to use, it can become very confusing which component you should use.
Ahahahha 🤣 A lot more stable without c# automatic garbage collection ? Unity games hardly ever crashes, but Unreal engine games crash pretty often.

Thanks for featuring ourselves and Sam 😁
Unreal is definitely the go-to if you have zero knowledge of programming, but having pre-written functions and parts of it and organizing them is... something.
Blueprints aren't a bad idea, but if you know how to draw a picture, you can draw a picture.
Unreal Blueprint learning process after Unity is like being given Jigsaw puzzles and asking to put them together, except you have no idea where the jigsaw puzzle part you are looking for is, or looks like most of the time.
Oh. And Unity has WAY more tutorials than Unreal.
That's what happens to me. Multiple blueprints that I don't know what they exactly do what blueprints are the ones I need for I want to do. With unity and programming I can at least do it from 0 and get exactly what I want, depending less on the engine itself and more of my own scripts
Honestly, I prefer blueprint for two reasons:
First, they are kinda simpler. Simply adding a variable is two whole lines of codes or more depending on what you put in it. In blueprint, it is two clicks, and is very clear.
Second, I can't be bothered to wait for compiling the code and waiting for the engine to update with the new code everytime I make a small change. BLueprint is just faster for me
@@brandondallaire Oh, totally valid. I did compare this to Jigsaw puzzles but once you know what part you want to get, you can whip up a blueprint pretty fast.
@@brandondallaire
1) A professional C++ programmer will write those 2 variable definitions faster than you do them 2 clicks.
2) In a normal professional environment you don't build a project every time you make a 'small change'. There's a reason why good programmers are paid so much.
@@playaaaLV Sure, if you say so. Only wanted to sya how I work, not start an argument with an jerk
C:/Grabmyballs

That bit at the end felt very personal
One hundred percent conveys my experience.
the biggest issue with Unreal and Unity is that both engines have absolutely terrible level editors when compared to Source 2's Hammer, so you have to either model stuff externally, use the crippled built-in tools, waste $100 on a plugin that still isn't as good, or use modular meshes.
facts i wish source looked good
@@KELLY-yv7vp he's talking about source 2
I agree, I'm amazed by how good the source and source 2 level editors are. Even source one's level editor is nuts, the layout is unique and the built in modelling capabilities are fantastic. Also, their displacement system seems way nicer and flexible than unity's terrain system.
@@phee3D there's a good reason why every, and i mean, every single valve game has a plethora of custom maps made for them.
Doesn't sound like a big problem or a problem at all
Unity has C# exist as a scripting language; it is compiled on top of the engine. C++ for Unreal is compiled directly into the engine. You need to understand the differences between the two. Blueprints = C# for Unity. C++ exists as a way for you to write code into the source build of your game. This exists because studios are say building an MMO. They are using Unreal 5 for the client and have a completely custom server backend. Or if you have game logic that is so sensitive you need it to run at a very low level for performance reasons. Something like netcode for a big multiplayer game. So if you used to use C# for a bouncing ball, you should probably just use Blueprints for a bouncing ball. But if you're designing a big multiplayer game with 900 players in a city, the server replication code for that bouncing ball should probably be written in C++.
You're having issues building your game because Play In Editor does not reflect real world performance or real world logic. You have issues with how your code is structured. A reference to something that does not exist in memory will crash. You need to use a soft reference, or a if you're going to use a hard reference then you need to make sure that at some point you told the engine to load it. Pay attention to the warnings you are getting in the console or your IDE of choice.
Unity does this by loading all objects in a referenceable state. This is really good for 95% of games, just like Blueprints are good for 95% of games. But there are lots of reasons why Unreal is structured the way it is. Its is why so many AAA studios with probably over a billion USD in investment combined in 2021/2022 have all switched to Unreal Engine 5 and have never once considered Unity. Square Enix, Obsidian Entertainment, Disney, Sony, Microsoft, CDPR, Ninja Theory, Focus Entertainment, Codemasters, RARE, 2k Games, GearBox, Tesla, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Ford, General Motors, BMW, Tencent Games, Mercedes, NASA. Just to name a few.
It is because the engine allows people to do whatever they want. Unity is not open source. Unreal is.
I can't wait till you release the 30,000th 2d platformer on Steam built in Unity. The mobile game ads appear from China with location tracking data, contact data scrubbers and there is an ad for Weta Digital and an Amazon Prime ad for the new Lord of the Rings. Then you buy art assets off the marketplace and SteamAI blocks it was a another asset flip based on the fact there have been so many shitty Unity games released that they are now protective on who gets promoted.
Steam literally has a system where if you can't get 1000 Wishlist adds in a set amount of time they will probably block you from the promotion algorithm. If your game is built in Unity then its 500 adds.
Look man, I was a Unity developer for over 10+ years. The CEO of Unity now... sucks ass. I remember when Mike Acton was kicking fucking ass as the Unity boss and adding features to the engine.
ruclips.net/video/rX0ItVEVjHc/видео.html&ab_channel=CppCon
He has a grey beard now but what made Unity great is long fucking gone. Its a struggle sometimes because I am trying to get Unity developers jobs and none of them seem to want to change from their workflow. They are for all intensive purposes, Unity Developers. They do NOT want to learn any new languages, they DO NOT want to learn new Shader workflows.
It just sucks, because sometimes I feel like there are shifts in our industry and as professionals we need to be willing to learn new workflows. Its like Blender vs Maya. Open source vs closed source. So many people just cannot get away from Maya. Just like Unity developers cannot understand that games are made in different ways.
Blender has come a long way in the past 4 years. We should open up applications from Blender artists for diversity reasons. Lets be real. A lot of young kids today on the bottom end of the socio-economic ladder are not going to be able to afford Maya and have been trained on Blender. Its free and open source, from a company perspective we can even save money on SaaS fees.
Its just that you need to be realistic.
Incredible answer!!!
but UE performance is not the best among engines, and the application weight starts at 400 MB

Tricks for using Unreal Engine 5:
1st, Learn linear coding first before the visual coding. 2nd, use Nanite to make most accurate artstyle meshes possible without sacrificing the framerate, 3rd, its up to you to use either Lumen or your own visual lighting technology you build in
Edit: Unreal Engine (UE) 5 is better than UE4 beacuse even every artstyle also capable of Nanite to reach its maximum potential plus better meshes and graphics without sacrificing framerate. Even some devs move their scratch(es) from UE4 to UE5 for this advantages from Nanite.
Everyone is different but I learned how to use Unity faster than Unreal. I still don’t know how to code in Unity but I also barely know anything in Unreal. It’s probably because I’m an idiot but idk, pick your poison I guess
Didn't run into errors so far as a beginner; but, looking forward to them ahah xD

Hey any take away tips? For a noon trying to get better
@@handsanitizer2457 Someone completely new to the engine is best of first finding a project (Epic learning projects are best) when they can look and to understand how the engine wants things to be created, the mistake is going in blank and trying to figure it out on your own.
Understanding the engine and how it wants to run things will help you in the long run. A Berif run down is that the engine is designed for multiplayer games, like CS:GO but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used for other games, knowing this however will help you to understand the rest.
The gamemode is a basically the core of the game and is where you should start looking to understand how its built, when it comes to running the game, the game mode only exists on the server and clients can not access it.
Game State is what you use to hold game mode related values, not player specific. In the case of search and destroy, Game state would hold team scores and be used to work out when someone has won.
Player State is where you hold all the values you think would be stored in the game state, like player names, player kills, player deaths etc. Each player automatically has a reference to there own player state, the game state can be called by the players and has every player state. Which allows you to find out who you are on a server.
Depending on what your doing in unreal, programmer, artist etc.
You’ll find different needs, as a programmer, its worth understand that companies want you to write code in C++ but the engine is designed to work completely with blueprints, if your more comfortable with blueprints, its worth remembering that you can convert your blueprint code into C++ later down the line, reparenting is quite important. Also, C++ is closer to engine then blueprints are meaning that you can parent a blueprint class to C++ but not reverse.
If you’re an artist, make sure you understand optimising, yes nanite is a thing but it is not the be all and end all. It currently doesn’t work in VR. LODs are quite important, it is fine to export your models after the using Unreals auto LODs but do not use them as your final work. They are not optimised to YOUR models.
In terms of characters, if your creating human like characters, use the unreal skeletion, this will allow you to use ANY animations that exist for the unreal engine, it also means someone can create animations for a character that doesn’t exist yet and will speed up development.
There is more I could get into, you learn a lot when in industry and I am not sure how complex this is now considering I’ve been doing this non stop for 2 years but I hope it helps!

not to mention, even the preset sample scene makes my laptop scream
As an Unreal Engine user I can confirm it's pretty much like this.
Funny enough blueprints are actually more stable and reliable than C++, just be careful when you nativize them because that's where hell breaks lose (spoiler: debugging hell, unexplainable crashes, missing headers).

That is only valid if you don't know how to program C++ properly.
Next Objective - Learning FLStudio (or maybe some other DAW)
Or if you are really brave, making Minecraft in Unity (No I don't want a tutorial, why do you ask that)
I actually tried learning FL studio for a game i did a while ago. I was thinking about making something with it.
the background music later on (not the mario one at the beginning) is from the case closed manga

In my experience, Unreal is very powerful and has plenty of tools to make very advanced things, but that's also part of what makes learning a daunting task. I definitely wouldn't consider it the easiest beginner game engine to learn. I think Unity is more approachable for a beginner. Personally, I prefer, use, and contribute to Godot Engine. It's my go-to engine for pretty much any game project and is amazing for rapid prototyping. It's fast, and lightweight, and GDScript doesn't do compiling so that's not something you'd ever have to worry about.
Personally, I think Godot Engine is the best game engine for indie developers at the moment and it's rapidly improving. It's also free, so there are no complex licensing or royalties you have to worry about if you decide to work on a serious project.
I'm a little biased, being one of the engine's developers, but it has earned many of its merits. In general, I just like the workflow. It just feels comfy, and cozy, I don't really know how to describe it. The node-based scene tree structure just makes a lot of sense to me intuitively. I personally prefer programming to visual scripting, but Godot offers both for the discerning user. GDScript has practically identical syntax to Python so it's very easy to learn and fast to program in.
I'm deciding to buy Intel i5 + 16gb ram + RTX 2060. Will I be able to run and use Unreal engine 5 properly. Please Help !!
@@dancemore.....1978 probably lol
I like godot I may use it, just got a 3080ti with 128 gb of ram
Unreal is cool if you use blueprints, but if you like coding you are going to have to wait a long time after you made some changes to the code.
The reason C++ takes a such long time to compile is as I understand from what I heard in a blog before because in C++ files MIGHT change during compilation so the compiler has to read through and check every single file in the project 1000s of times during compilation to make sure they havent changed and if they have then check how they have changed. This dont just go for UE but the guy in the blog who worked at PLEX at that time said that every compile of their media server software took between 2 and 3 hours to complete because C++ spends so much time reading the same files over and over again.
Love it 👌😁
I've been working on rotating things on UE5 and oh boy what fun to see how stupid I am.
Anyways I got the rotation system to work in the end and learned quite a bit but not everyone has the patience to fail 2 days straight.
Relatable, but i will still stick to Unreal 🤣
although I am a programmer, I prefer blueprints as they are just better.... everything is more organised, more clear, and way faster in development
Inferior debugging and searching features, inferior performance.. editing/refactoring takes forever. You spend more time trying to make lines straight, and surround things with colorful boxes than actually coding. It is sometimes faster to prototype compared to C++, but maintaining large blueprint projects is a huge pain in the butt.. It's a nice scripting feature, but are blueprints 'just better'? Absolutely not.
Dude no real programmer would say something like this, ever. The only explanation possible is that you define yourself as a programmer because you wrote a hello world class in python
@@unohhhjjdd6716 no, I program in JavaScript, both frontend React and backend Node.js
@@janintelkor very strange. I can agree that probably using blueprints in Unreal is a lot better than using C++. But I can't agree if you say that Blueprints are better than code in general
@@unohhhjjdd6716 I totally agree with you, I expressed myself in a wrong way, I meant for me, in Unreal blueprints make way more sense than c++, but they definitely are not the best overall. I can't imagine using them in like Node.js if someone invented them ..
I love how many features it has out of the gate vs unity. Also Blueprints became my gateway to programming concepts which I've come to love over the visual design aspect. However, half the time I'll load the engine and it crashes immediately. It's truly a love hate relationship.
This is why I still use unity
even after they keep screwing themselves up
Just use roblox studio better than unreal and unity
Alright kid
Roblox is so limiting, also people over 7 years old don’t play it
@@novax1_if u hate so hard on him u make him look good
@@novax1_its a joke jackass
I just say biga nah
That's so relatable! I did the same Udemy course and had the same problems!
Awesome 👍
Until Unreal gets proper c# support, I dont think I'll be using it any time soon
Now use scratch XD
My favorite part is in UE4, you could "hot reload" the editor to apply C++ changes without reloading it, except this would randomly fail to compile for no apparent reason! If you can still do this in ue5, they hid the button off somewhere because hot reloading was an actual trap option.

I am getting mayor motion sickness from the Unreal 5 Editor - so working with that is another level of challenging 😭😭
man i just learned blender for an entire year in college and want to make some games now, why must it be so fucking difficult?!
But u already done the hardest part tho (modeling and anything related to that like animation etc.)
And blueprint isnt hard u dont even need c++ to make games even most professional programmers use blueprints cus its so stable
@@null6482 yeah it's kind of funny how blueprints are more stable than C++ xD
I am a 3D artist, blueprints are Life savings for me, dunno why programmers hate it 😂
visual scripting just adds more work in organizing code.
Well dude I'm a programmer and I can tell you that if my job needed me to program in blueprints, I'd leave work and get a new life in Mexico.
@@unohhhjjdd6716 why? What Is difficult about It for you? Just curious, no judging
@@tradeandmagicofficial2563 no problem dude. I think that for artists blueprints are very good, they offer a good visual way to easily implement basic mechanics. But once you touch coding, you're never going to come back to blueprints again xD. It's just that everything is a lot more manageable. You can make different scripts for different purposes, you can organise your code with comments and colors, everything is a lot more manageable on a bigger scale and typing is simply fast than dragging a connection with a mouse. And you'll feel like a god xD. But given the fact that you're an artist, I perfectly understand why for you Blueprints are good. I'm just saying that as a coder, I'll never touch them because coding for me is A LOT better and faster to work with ;)
@@unohhhjjdd6716 yeah the background Is the key for pur different views i suppose ahah however with bluerints you can colore them under compressed nodes and make functions that you will use later in other classes so Is good, i think that the fact Is that you have an habitat to visualize things in a way that Is not compatible with blueprints. Me, as a dumb artist with veri basic knowledge of c++, having a node that tell what it does is simply a blessing ahah. However i wish you good work my friend hope your life will be full of good things and satisfactions.
taking these course right now, struggling on c++
A la mierda, la referencia Ichigo XD, geniales videos bro, buen ingles!
Finalmente, un hombre de cultura jajaja. Gracias por el apoyo bro!
ue requires a lot of RAM, video cards and knowledge of c ++ Me: I don't agree to this deal.
I'm still unsure which engine to learn on, despite having 128gb ram and a 3080. It's less the hardware, and more the learning curve.
@@smileychess I used to work with Unity, then later switched to Unreal. If you want an easier learning curve go with Unity.
@@smileychess bro what the fuck on earth do you need 128 gb of ram for?? the most memory intensive game probably doesnt even need half of that
@@justchilling4816 uh ue is way easier to learn bc of blueprints
I gotta agree with stormstudios1. I've tried both Unity and Unreal Engine, and while I still am far far far from mastering even the basics of UE, UE is much easier to learn than Unity. That's because with Unity, you HAVE to know how to write code or you can never make a game. With Unreal Engine, you only need to know the logic of code, not the actual writing of it
Unreal Engine is a nightmare to learn and be good at, but after you do so, you will almost never want to change the Engine (Except for 2D and Multiplayer, those are nightmareier than Unreal by Itself)
Dude after spending years to learn Unreal I wouldn't want to change even for a 2d game xD I'd really feel like I wasted my time.
Something I think I should do is use Unreal engine for 3D games. And Unity for 2D games. I haven't touched too much of Unreal Engine and quite good at Unity.
Idk I make games in UE and it crashes only when I do an infinite loop in the code by accident... I'm really happy with its performance overall, not sure what you're doing to have these crashes often
Somehow people using Detective Conan music always surprises me, even though I've seen it used multiple times now.
As someone who programmed c at age 5 and runs his own gaming company I can 100% say unreal engine is unreal. If you have any brain cells left after using it, you should use your remaining cells to quit and leave unreal engine for good it will save you from things like mental health and hair loss 👍stay safe and stress free guys 😅
With unity and scripting and the API I can more or less understand what any of the stuff does.
With unreal is like every plugin and part has its own rules and is less unified. And the API is worse.
lliterally me as Im doing the exact same course as you and finished the CryptRaider 2 days ago lmao, im in the last 2 episodes of ToonTanks now and pointers have been...tricky lmao.
