License agreement Legacy Game/Marketplace what am I allowed to do?

Development Getting Started & Setup

Dear Unreal Community (or to whom it may concern),

Firstly, I have no experience in game-dev and so on. My goal is to make a very basic RTS game. At this stage I want learn and comprehend how things work and to have some idea of structure, blueprint examples and so on I would like to look at this “Strategy Game” Legacy Sample (UE 4.24/Epic Games) to have something to start of with and play around. Question is: am I allowed to do that, as none of it is my own?

What does the license agreement I need to accept mean/ what may I do and what not? (price is free)

I do not want to:
Publish anything

I intend to:
Modify the blueprints/code to my needs
Use the “game logic” and expand on it
Use the visuals (for units, buildings etc.)

Overall, everything will serve a learning purpose.

Any answer or advice (for a complete beginner) will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely

Hi Krokodil, Welcome to the Forums.

That’s why the samples exist. (And on the topic of RTS samples, be sure to see Cropout)

I think the main restriction would be that you cannot take the assets given to you by Epic and release them in a Unity/Other project. ( Content EULA for full details)

You could use the sample as a base, and publish your additions if you wanted to.

Good luck!
