Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hi Guys,

I am new to UE4 and I started creating my own Tappy chicken kind of game. But when I look into Tappy Chicken, I found out that it contains all .FBX files and no 2d images(.png). I Imported a png image and in the blueprint editor, the meshes section is not showing it.

So, In UE4, can we create end to end 2D game just by using 2D images? or Do we need to create only .FBX or any other Autodesk 3D tools to create and 2D game?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can.
The easiest way to get startet would be to use the 2D-Sidescroller-Template integrated in UE4 I would say.
And about the files - you can use png( I know, because I already used them too^^)
Although png doesn’t show up in the meshes section because it isn’t a mesh - it’s a papersprites

Maybe take a look at this tutorial-series:
