Hey everyone!
Just like last year I just made another video talking about the state of 2D Game Dev with Unreal Engine 5.
We'll go over great community projects, plugins, new discoveries and much more!

Wanted to try something a little bit different for this video!
I've been playing around a lot with a free physics plugin for Unreal called Kawaii Physics which allows for stylized movement of hair and clothing and want to give you an overview of the games using it and how it works.

Hey!
This months episode of UE5 Indie Games to inspire you is special since we have StayAtHomeDev on as a guest who was a big inspiration for these videos!
I hope learning about how these games were made will give you some inspiration or insight that will help you on your own projects :)

Happy to share the new and improved Classic Top Down Template.
This is the Flat 2D version using a tile map for the stage and not including any 3D objects.
Splitting up both versions allowed me to improve the settings further and this template now comes with controller support and Layer sorting set up!
If you're looking for the 2D/3D Hybrid version, you can find it here:

I'm happy to share the new and overhauled version of the Top Down Template.
This is the 2D/3D Hybrid version featuring a low camera angle that's often seen in modern JRPGs.
I improved the rotation logic and drew a new character that better fits the template.
It also comes with an emissive and normal texture to better merge the 2D and 3D elements of the game and demonstrate how you ...

Hey everyone!
The 2.5D Top Down tutorial I released 2 years ago was one of my most requested and most popular video.
Since then a few things have changed and by making many top down games in this period of time, I learned many new details that I wanted to share in this remade version of the video!

I'm super excited to finally be able to share the full Unreal Engine Iceberg with you!
This is a video I've been working on for roughly 9 months on the side and both the research and editing took way longer than expected 😅
But I'm very proud of the result and hope you'll enjoy this rough 1 hour ...
Got the February episode of our ongoing series about UE games to motivate you ready!

Hey everyone.
Glad to finally be able to share this tutorial about Depth of Field!
Many things have changed with DOF and most other tutorials only cover it when it comes to cutscenes, so I made this video about how to apply it during gameplay as well!

Hey everyone!
This is a video I've been meaning to make for quite a while and I'm happy to finally be able to release it.
You'll see how I became a game developer and every Unity and Unreal project I've worked on so far!
I hope this will give you some inspiration and also show you how long it realistically takes to improve at making games :)

Hey everyone!
I'm currently prototyping the second chapter of my upcoming course.
This is just a little sneak peek of me setting up the multi-directional animations.
You can make guesses to what the course will be about now :D
Hey everyone!
If you've seen my last tutorial on version control, you may know that none of the solutions I introduced there were perfect and all came with their own caveats.
https://youtu.be/5n2IMqcrRlk
I recently found a new version control system that solves all of those issues and is superior to github and git...
This is the starter project with the background textures and a basic character set up, so you can code along with the 2D Parallax Scrolling Tutorial!
Make sure to use Unreal Engine 5.4 for the smoothest experience.
