Since UE4 became freely available (with royalties still required), I've been looking into using it for game development. Previously, I was drawn to Unity's free version, but it falls short compared to Unreal in terms of features. While there are many online tutorials, most paid ones seem to focus on UE4 and don't always clearly improve understanding. TLDR: Do you have any detailed and useful Unreal Engine 4 guides that can help someone learn to make games with it? I'm especially interested in an FPS project but anything helpful would be great.
I discovered several tutorials on that platform. Coming from Unreal Development Kit, I was somewhat comfortable with the tools, though you might also find some useful content. Apart from that, I can only recommend YouTube videos.
This highlights a key advantage of UE4: Blueprints allow anyone to create games without needing programming skills. You can find extensive guides and tutorials online. While I explored UE4 for a 2D RPG a few years back, things slowed down due to school commitments and I didn’t want to revisit pixel art for a while. However, recent updates suggest UE4 supports Tilemaps and sprites, though 2D development remains experimental. For now, it seems UE4 could outperform Unity in 2D game creation, especially since it’s free. If you’re aiming for strong 3D projects, UE4 offers a compelling alternative.
