A top down RPG zelda like tutorial would be perfect !

[@justiceabs2407]

sht I just bought a course yesterday otherwise I woulda gone for yours, I'll be buying yours for sure after I finish the other one

[@joebeezy9471]

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.

[@EliasNafi]

Good for you man, one of the best feelings out there!

[@imutig3451]

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"

[@NorseWhittler86]

Thanks!

[@sadowolf]

Thank you, I knew if I just scrolled down someone would have a quick fix!

[@paledolphin]

Yup, had same issues, came to comments to tell people to change the compression settings, but you beat me to. Thank you, kind soul!

[@Kamelot19]

have the same but its more yellow but maybe im just color blind LOL

[@dmytronice1337]

Thank you, man! How did you found that??

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

[@TML0677]

Using Unreal 5 for pixel Fart is like using an a...hole instead of a mouth. Or something like that

[@Arecross1]

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.

[@梅长苏-i3m]

i have same problem! Can you provide detailed solution information?

[@梅长苏-i3m]

i got it

[@梅长苏-i3m]

the bug of animation after jump; i fix it by set looping props --> new looping = true . but i understand how this temp

[@101touchapps]

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 button!!!!!!

[@markpowell8325]

I made the switch from mechanic to software dev at 34. The hardest part was trying to fit the time in around family life etc. But I didn't want to end up stacking shelves when my body couldn't keep up with the work anymore, and I was already getting issues with my knees. It's taken some adjustment, as workshop banter is quite different to what's said in the office. Anyway, just wanted to say this as some encouragement, as I've been there. Good luck!

[@Ohverture]

44 yo Engineer here. Gonna have a go at this myself. :)

[@TheDeathbyPurple]

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.

[@PixelHelmet]

Thank you so much TDP.

[@m0gul666]

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.

[@PhdinNoob101]

Give it a shot but start with something simple and cute. It's worth the experience!

[@terrythe2dmaniac71]

You really deserve more subscribers just for he fact that we hardly see any serious effort to explain 2D dev on Unreal on KZbin specially something straight forwards like this with no gimmicks, course subscriptions or iffy third party plugins that we need to buy, keep up the good work brother💯👌.

Great video. Would love to see a video on parallax scrolling the background also. Thanks.

[@PixelHelmet]

Great suggestion Terry. I'll write this in my list of to-do videos.

[@Jean-sj1xw]

I have followed your tutorial and I reached the end of it with perfection! I have checked into the comments that my Player was moving way too fast but it was fixed once changing the Character Movement component > Max Steps. What a great tutorial! Congrats and thank you! I would like to learn more since I'm now trying to do the attacking animation but I can't figure out on how to use the Blueprints correctly, hehe. If you, somehow, have a course teaching on how to use blueprints I would like to buy it :P. Thanks a lot for that!

[@PixelHelmet]

Thanks for the motivating words Jean, I’m glad you found it helpful! I’m going to create a ton of 2D material for Unreal Engine as I can see a lot of people wish to have that. Coming soon :D

[@p2drin492]

can you explain more in how to decrease the speed, it is really fast, help please.

[@waatds6032]

@@p2drin492 I know it's been like 5 months but if anyone needs it, you can find the Character Movement Component on the left side when you open up your player blueprint. For me it was under the camera and the spring arm. After that you can search on the right side for the Max Walk Speed and I found out that for me 150cm/s works fine.

[@MastaToken]

@@p2drin492 If this wasn't answered as it was resolved in video without explanation, BP_Player > search Character Movement.

[@Mordynak]

Just an FYI. You can save yourself some headaches by creating a subfolder under the root content directory with a shorthand name of your project. Also, in UE5, you can drag a folder from explorer directly into Unreal and it will create that folder and import any source items (images and models).

[@Nibot2023]

Please make a 2nd tutorial continuing this process. I would love to see the ai for 2d flip book, damage, health, attacking and deaths! How to add music and sound effects too.

[@DarKHearT-fd2gl]

if your camera vision is too big go to player -> camera -> camera settings -> ortho widht, adjust it to your own needs!

[@cymec4515]

thanks! was wondering where the problem was

[@kiasta1]

On mine the third background Unreal made it an ugly yellow color when creating a tile set. Edit: Figured out why. The file was imported as a normalmap so I just changed the Compression Settings to UserInterface2D like the other files and then recreated the tileset and it's now how it should be. I don't know if it matters but I also had to change the Texture Group and select the sRGB checkbox.

[@cris18188]

I still have problem,where is located the sRGB checkbox? I cant find it in texture group

[@gordonchen9533]

Thanks for this! To clarify for other folks struggling with this, double click the "backround_layer_1" texture (not tile set), Details > Compression > Compression Settings > UserInterface2D PS I did not need to select the sRGB checkbox to fix the texture.

[@DoraHRS]

this is solved the problem thanks@@gordonchen9533

[@JannerBros]

That's really cool! I've been using Unreal for all my projects but the build size always bothers me so i stopped focusing on 2d games and only making 3d since. What about the final build size for the 2d game and its performance on regular machine. Any insights about the final build. It will be really useful if you shared it .... may be i'l try 2d again! Thanks again buddy!

[@felixguzman2118]

Who is here because of the Unity crap!?

[@komailkameli7624]

++

[@radovan_mladic]

Only you.

[@UR_gg]

Let me preface by saying you didn't do anything incorrect. For an actual game though you would not want to put a Delay in your character controller, and also using bools to do things like prevent jumping isn't robust enough for a full character controller, you'll want to use Enums. With an enum you can set 'attacking', 'jumping', 'crouching', 'falling', 'attacking while falling'; you can really get as complex as you want with a robust Enumeration. Then after you've created that Enum you can use a "Switch on [Name of your enum] Enum" and either connect or leave blank logic coming off of those pins. Again, this is just for those wanting to do a little more, and you didn't do anything wrong, this is a great tutorial, I just wanted to mention all that for those thinking to do more with a character

[@UR_gg]

Well putting delays in blueprints that use character controlled input is wrong, lol you don't wanna do that, but it's a quick way to show how to accomplish this. Letting your blueprint loop on a .1 delay is bad, maybe you'll never notice it for this example (although i can see a slight delay when you touch the ground from the jump, which is that .1 sec delay) but imagine that logic on 100 enemies in a Risk of Rain style game, too many delays :D

[@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.

[@clayjar7636]

What a great tutorial! Keep up the good work!

[@PixelHelmet]

Thank you Clay. Glad it was helpful!

[@sarahmousavi5687]

I’m glad I could help, Sarah! You can always join my supportive community on Discord (discord.gg/qNPKDRH) and hopefully we can assist with the dash system. Cheers 😄

[@HumanOddity69]

I've never thought of using UE in this way. I'm going to have some fun with this, I bet the the proper application of effects and physics can really make a 2d project stand out. I used to do a lot of pixel art so I bet I even have a lot of resources ready to go that are already mine.

[@sarahalmarsumi-nd7gp]

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

[@PixelHelmet]

Good to hear Sarah!

[@EliasHookttytfgftg]

Very smooth tutorial, I learned a ton

[@PixelHelmet]

Thanks a lot Codefessor.

[@marco1941]

The moment when visual scripting looks actually so much easier and comfortable in UE5 than in Scratch 😂. I am still working on my very first game in Scratch and it can be kinda challenging when you have to break your brain about every single little thing you wanna do, because the engine obviously doesn’t expect you to do such things… like a main menu for example or even worse: a pause button. It works, though. You can do pretty much everything you can think of, you just gotta figure out how to make it work and you have to do every little part of it literally from scratch. The benefit of this is that you learn a lot about the very basic principles of game development, so I’m thankful for that and it’s good having done it at least once, so that I actually understand what’s going on.

[@キラキラくりくり頭]

I'm watching this because I also tried playing with Scratch and felt like so many things were more difficult than they probably should be and thought "I wonder how hard it'd be to do this in Unreal"

[@bitlong4669]

Scratch is easy. This seems easy too. But if you have years of programming then it seems cumbersome to drop and drag stuff. I rather code lol.

[@jazzlehazzle]

FANTASTIC.

[@rremnar]

This is my opinion: If I were to make a strictly 2D game, I'd go with Godot or some other 2D game engine. But if I were making a 2.5D game (side scroller, 3d assets) then I'd think Unreal Engine would be fine.

[@sameoldtunes7110]

also if you want to add some crazy lighting

[@TurboManTom]

When My character is moving left and right, the Flipbook plays in front of everything and the IDLE flipbook is still playing in the normal field. Also when the run flipbook plays it is slightly lower that the idle flipbook. edit: The flipbook plays and stops correctly but It now displays 2 flipbooks, 1 slightly higher on the normal plane and the other slightly lower below the normal plane edit 2: I was messing around in the BP_player and discovered if I turn "Visible" under the rendering tab to false, the issue with the persisting Idle flipbook goes away. I can't for the life of me figure out why the Idle Flipbook persists. Also I realized I skipped a step in applying the 2d paper texture settings and had my alignment off for the sprites. That and the capsule adjustments fixed my positioning.

[@Flugnu]

About the post process volume, If you want to get the lit color nearly identical as the unlit, you can set the MinEV100 = 2 ; MaxEV100 = 1;

[@heatxtm]

Thanks for this, I was thinking that was pretty weird and time consuming to change all the other settings as he do it.

[@Flugnu]

​@@heatxtm After digging deeper, I must admit that this trick doesn't quite replicate what we're aiming for, but it gets close for some colors. The subject is still open, and I'm continuing to search for how to replicate a true unlit effect with post-processing. If you have any other ideas or find something, please don't hesitate to share.

[@greedymetal6743]

Why lit and unlit mode must be nearly the same?

[@RockyMulletGamedev]

Yeah ! 2D in Unreal 💪

[@grognarok]

How would you go about allowing the player full access to horizontal movement controls while still air born? That way the player can maneuver mid-air?

[@Neuromindart]

Is anyone dealing with flickering/ghosting when the character moves around? The character looks crystal clear but some of the background elements are flickering/ghosting. Especially the lighter areas like the lamps and the background..etc. I've tried almost everything but have no idea what could be causing it.

[@michelcab4777]

does anyone know how to change the movement speed?

[@Kymlaar]

In the Player Blueprint, if you select "Self" in the upper left, the details on the right should include a "Character Movement: Walking" section. Adjust the Max Walk Speed there, and you're set. I found 200.0 cm/s worked for me. I hope that helps!

[@jmanlogh9696]

There is one thing id like to know. How do many platformers get there layerd backgrounds to move as the character does. Ganes like salt and sanctuary use layered basgrounds that your perspective shifts todifferent parts of each background to give it a look like your actually moving your visual perspective in the level. How does do this with these platformers.

First time user of Unreal, wanted to give it a go.. at @26:53 where you hit play and make the character move for the first time, mine doesn't. And I double checked both IMC_Default settings as well as BP_Player settings and they're the same! I completed the tutorial, and the player does nothing. He's colliding nicely with the ground and his idle pose is activated, but does nothing on button press. Please assist

Im also stuck in here

[@budydubby2441]

found out that default "Play" on fresh installed UE is on "Simulate" (we can see two small gears under play icon), we have to change to normal play. Click 3 dots icon on the right side of play button, and select "Selected Viewport", and dont forget to click viewport after you press play button to make character read the input.

[@jesticDev]

Hope you found a solution. My issue was in the event graph / Blueprint for the BP_Player. Under the added box "Add Mapping Context" I found that Pixel Helmet went to fast so I missed that I need to tick the mapping context drop down box and set it to the "IMC data asset" after that it worked.
