Hello, i am new to this. i have never tried developing a game. i invented a board game. i made a prototype board game in excel that i use to keep all the data stored in, where i can get a random dice count and then i just move the player pieces manually and keep count of everything on the side, but i would love to have an actual game where i can just open it up and start playing with everything automated. first step is actually creating the board. i was using game salad where i could just upload the image of my board i already created. can i do the same here or do i need to create the actual board piece by piece? if so, how would i do that? i tried looking up tutorials but none of them show the same Unity interface i see when i load up the application
That might be because this is Unreal Engine, not Unity.
Those are very different game engines!
in your searches be sure to search for “Unreal”
it might be a good idea to also add at least the major engine version you are using (so if you are using 5.3 then search for “5”)
demonstrations/tutorials for 4.27 might still mostly work in version 5.3, but things do change over time, and the engine’s user interface is rather different from 4.27 to 5 “most” all the features are still there they are just moved around. there are rare occurrences when features are removed, but mostly an increase in first decimal version are increases in features.
Uploading an image may help but you must create every single detail of the game mechanics from scratch.
