Blueprints are absolutely in my opinion. As a programmer, I code most of my base classes in C++ and create blueprints derived from those. It works great. If anything needs to be improved, it would be providing more ways to organize graphs. I understand that some artists may have a couple problems jumping in right away, but most will not have a problem! Blueprints don’t need to die, but rather be improved. They are fast especially when you’re always testing new ideas out like me.
