Will Blueprint limit me in the future?

I’m not sure it’s possible to release a game on the PS4 with only blueprints; you’d surely need the native integration for that platform.

Anyway, you can do a lot with Blueprint, but there will be walls you will hit that you cannot work around without the need for native code. If you’re working on a project of any considerable size, I would consider working in both C++ and Blueprint; create a native code base class for all of your content as you go, and move code backwards into C++ when it starts to become large or unwieldy.

Hello Ambershee,

Please refer to the game Bears Can’t Drift!? by Arran Langmead

https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/games/bears-cant-drift-ps4/

There will be more about them in Tuesday’s episode of the podcast.
Alternatively there is a blog post about them here:

It is possible that he had to do a little C++ code for native features if their game required it, but so far it seems like not much was needed.
