Post Body

I’m coming over from Unity doing 2D development. A lot of, if not most people that are jumping ship from Unity because of the recent events are talking about Godot or other engines if they’re working in 2D.

My question is, is Unreal really in a worse place than those alternative engines for 2D? It makes sense to me that Unity would be better than Unreal for 2D (if someone here disagrees I’m all ears), but with how long Unreal has been out, and how unfinished some of the 2D alternative engines are, I’m having a hard time believing they’re really a solution than Unreal.

Is it worth learning Unreal for 2D and are there any plans to improving 2D dev experience? Or should I focus on 3D if using Unreal and do my 2D elsewhere?

Thanks I’m advance for the insight!
