2D Side Scroller Template Download (Patreon)

Hey everybody, I finally got around to creating a 2D Side Scroller Template for you.
Sadly with the launch of UE5 the official template got discontinued, but using my custom template you can set up your 2D projects much faster!

It comes with all of the correct project settings, a small level built from a tile map and a custom character with the correct settings.

Installing a template is really simple, but you can check out this guide for the details:

TP_2DSideScrollerBP_v1.0 is the blueprint version of the template which works with UE5.1 and above.

TP_2DSideScrollerBP_v1.2 includes all changes from v1.1 and makes that one obsolete.
Intended to be used with UE 5.3 and above for best results.

v1.1:
- Improved project settings
- Orthographic camera
- Background image attached to camera

v1.2:
- Character turning from movement input rather than velocity based
- Deactivate OpenImageDenoise plugin to decrease build size by 80 MB
- Activate Forward Shading for FPS gain and reduced build size

TP_2DSideScroller_5.2 is the C++ version which works with UE5.2 or newer versions such as 5.3. However it won't work with versions smaller than 5.2, such as 5.1.

You can install both of these at the same time.
