Hello,
I’m new to the community and would just like to introduce myself. Aka Darkmatter
I am new to this engine and new to working with things like this.
Figure a good place if any would be here.
I would like to help or make a f2p game or at least learn the basics of what I would need
I welcome any and all help and would like to again thanks for the engine and the ability
to try my hand at something new that I can hopefully share with everyone.
This is the only program I own and i don’t have any photoshop program.
Please link names and ideas I’m open to anything at this point after playing very generic and broken games.
Welcome to the community!
First of all, welcome
Take a look at this thread: [Community List] Free Software Tools & Resources List - Content Creation - Unreal Engine Forums
It’s a list with free softwares and tools.
The Unreal youtube channel has a lot of stuff about the engine: https://www.youtube.com/unrealengine
And for last I recommend the free assets that you can found in the marketplace: Marketplace - UE Marketplace
The animation starter pack and Infinity Blade assets to start creating your world, and you can buy too and help the community xD
Remember, creating games involves a lot of different areas and if you don’t know which one is your favorite just try it and focus on it =)
Good luck and welcome again.
Welcome! 
P.S. There are some good free Photoshop alternatives out there!
Welcome to the community DarkMatter! =)
