I'm an Authorized Unreal Engine Instructor and Game Developer, providing Tutorials and Devlogs! My main focus is on teaching you how to make awesome 2D and 2D/3D Hybrid games through Unreal's Paper 2D and PaperZD system. GameDev definitely isn't easy and Unreal can be pretty intimidating if you don't know where to start, so I'm here to make the process easy for you :D
