The company has their own set of documentations. But the 4.2X version was considered to be outdated when it was relevant and 5.0 is mostly incomplete.
Yeah I know this stuff is not that great.Let us have a lookie!
Unreal Engine 5 is bloated with default plugins that cause conflicts, leading to unexplained crashes with no proper debugger feedback. Epic won’t fix these issues, forcing devs to rely on long YouTube tutorials just to disable the right settings. Most developers wont do that so UE5 gets blamed for developer incompetence.
I hit real roadblocks with basic features around third person character implementation like adding character animations for different weapon types, and the developer community saw me as a threat to their Patreon grift rather than actually helping. Instead of problem solving, they’d rather ban people to save face when they don’t know the answer. Despite claiming to be experts. They'd rather everyone just make shitty asset flips and flood steam with them.
Whatever documentation they have internally is sure as hell not the same one Epic share's publicly. They don't want competition for Fortnite. Even if it tanks their own engine's reputation with third party developers who never even intended on competing with their cashcow.
The thing about block coding is that learning it takes marginally less effort than learning a high-level language like C# or GDScript, but block coding doesn't allow you the same amount of flexibility and organizability as traditional coding, and the skills aren't as easily transferrable to other languages. Since the options for UE5 are either that or C++, I'd recommend not starting out with Unreal.
This shit so common it's funny. So many gamedevs cry out that they need an engine because it's easier to make games in one, and then reinvent half the shit engine provide, because they are too lazy to read documentation.
Quoting myself 6 months later to say: for Lua bindings don't bother with LuaBridge, use the latest Sol instead
When in doubt just go with Unity lmao
They're convenience libraries for exposing C++ classes and functions to Lua/LuaJIT in a few lines, comes with support out of the box for things like std::string, vectors, indexing Lua tables from C++ etc
Also, Blueprints comes with a noticeable performance overhead. So most games that only use that and aren't careful with where they put their gameplay logic run like ass no matter the hardware.
Now do two triangles and make a squareGentlemen, I'm proud to report that my game engine can now draw 1 static triangle onto the screen.
It looks like the project ran out of steam around the end of last year. There's only four items in the 4.4 Roadmap 🄰, one of which is "rebranding issues." Only thing the Xigger account does anymore is Lunduke-style
coaling. I would've liked to see it go somewhere but it was doomed from the start. It went the same way as every politically motivated open source fork, dying when the outrage died.
