Is it possible to make 2D games in unreal engine 4? is it a work around or is there a special setting to make it this way?
UE4 is 3D engine, but it can do pseudo 2D, planes with textures that can work as sprites. In fact there tech demo called Tappy Chicken which is 2D game on UE4
There also Paper2D experimental plug-in in github repository which does not have any documentation. Most likely it will give toolset that helps making 2D games on UE4, from source i noticed there tileset support in it
this is a small series in how to make 2d games with Paper2d. it takes you from simple to advanced stuff
