-
Blueprints: UE4 has a handy programming system for creating complex game logic. Blueprints is a visual programming language that allows you to create scripts without using code. It can be used to create simple scenarios as well as complex gameplay mechanics.
-
Cross-Platform: UE4 supports multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. This allows developers to create games for a large number of platforms using a single codebase.
-
Scalability: UE4 can handle both small and large projects. It provides various tools to optimize the performance of game worlds and reduce the load on the processor and graphics card.
-
VR support: UE4 has integrated tools for creating virtual reality. It supports many VR devices and has dedicated tools for developing VR applications.
-
Social Tools: UE4 provides tools for creating social features in games such as friend systems, notifications, rankings, achievements, and more.
-
Free Access: UE4 is free to download and use. Epic Games only takes a commission on sales made with UE4, making it accessible to developers of all skill levels.
