UE4 Roadmap

What happened to the RTS template?

Hello,

I was really interested in the RTS template. Like, tremendously interested, it constituted my top expectation, because I am a hobbyist and I don’t really have industry-related concerns.Months after months, I saw the roadmap be pushed a little further each time, and now, the template has fallen in “Wishlist/Backlog”.

I don’t want to criticize anyone, I understand that you have more pressing concerns, but I would be really really interested to have someone explain why the RTS template was pushed away. The reasons I can come up with are :

  • Networking : what model should you apply? Lockstep? But it does not mix well with blueprints. The PA approach? Probably unproved
  • Much more work than expected
  • No one actually started working on it at any point

The reason I ask is that insight would be super valuable as a high-level perspective for a hobbyist like me.

Thanks for your hard work!
