Working with Sprites: Thursday, January 21st

I made some pretty good progress with learning about making a 2D side scroller today. Following a video tutorial by an Epic Games employee (seen here), I learned about how to import sprite sheets and create animations. The video also included a link to a file of demo assets that I could use, but for the time being I used the demo assets as a template so I can test how my own sprites would look when I import them later on.

Creating animations in Unreal is pretty simple, tho sometimes the playback is a bit laggy, which will probably be a bit of an annoyance down the road. Still, I'm happy with how much I've learned.

I had to pause 20 minutes in due to class time, but it looks like I'll be delving into camera angles a little when I come back to this.
