1. You can use dynamic lighting if you want. You will need to make normal maps for the sprites if you want to get the most out of it though. Like the game you linked does.
   
2. Everything is built on components. I don’t have any plans to make big changes to existing components. Any new things will be new actors and components. So when you update, your existing stuff should not break, but you will have new stuff available to use.
   3.No different camera angles yet but planned as an addition.
3. Yes if you use the perspective camera, there is automated parallax support and I made a custom parallax behavior for orthographic cameras as well. The demo uses orthographic with my custom parallax behaviour if you want to see how it works.
4. It’s a code plugin with a lot of blueprint functionality. Everything is exposed to blueprints so you never have to touch the code( though you can if you want to). It’s made for people that have zero C++ knowledge.
5. Each boss is different, can’t make a system for everyone’s need but currently, there are a lot of events that can be used to control the boss actions, from events when the player or the boss health changes, to time-based events, to animation based events ( when the animation changes). I’m sure I can add new events if there is interest in them.
6. Unreal supports directional sounds by itself so they will work on my plugin as well. Basically, if it’s a feature that Unreal Engine supports by itself, my plugin should support it as well by default. There might be some exceptions but can’t think of any right now.

Thank you for clarity, I’ve tried your demo and i would like to know is it possible to do the following in your plugin:

1. Directional attack, (like when looking up and down the character attacks in that direction).
2. Jump height based on input duration, to allow user more control to jump higher or lower based on the situation (useful for different bosses)
3. Direct change of movement mid-air, (currently in your demo when jumping while running to the right, i cannot change the character mid air to the left direction) is it possible to have that feature?
4. Is Block/Parry system implemented?
5. Can a character Bounce? (Like when hitting a jump pad)
6. Is it possible to have a hit reaction on an enemy? (like push back from a hit)
7. Is it possible to “Hit-Lag/Slow motion” effect on the character for a frame or so to have a big impact feel of the hit?
8. Can i make a boss entirely scripted? without the use of AI? (Like i have 3 combos and i want the boss to toggle between them).
9. When do you expect a release date? (I’m super pumped to get my hands on your plugin).
10. Is Nintendo Switch supported?

I would also like to suggest you to start a Discord server, so you can keep us updated more frequently (Also useful for support after the release)

Waiting eagerly for your reply
