Pixel 2D is a plugin for Unreal Engine that aims to pick-up where Paper2D left off. It’s intended as an evolution of Paper2D and contains everything you need to create amazing 2D games. No C++ knowledge is required, everything is accessible through blueprints.
Each blueprint is clean and commented and all important variables are exposed,making it extremely easy to follow and customize.
The plugin already contains features including animated and destroyable tiles, flipbook animation blueprints and notifies, numerous examples of enemy AI behavior, a dynamic combat system using raytraces and physics projectiles, inventory systems and more.
There is a long public roadmap of features that will be added to the plugin in the following months and years.
