Lessons learned from RENOIR Martin Pernica Team Leader, Grip Digital RENOIR was our first really big game and from the first moment of development we decided to use Unreal Engine 4. We started using UE4 from first version and this decision was little bit risky, because RENOIR had really specific art style with combination of 2D and 3D rendering. We knew this going to be challenge because we had to modify the engine itself to conform our needs. But in many ways we did it and I like to share with your our experience from this "crazy ride". We will look how we created the "recording system", our custom sprites, light rendering and "collision detection" with light and more.

With some care you can prevent the quality translation and even make your game unlocalizable. Want to spend more time, more efforts and more money on localization?
