Every puzzle starts with a simple sketch! ✏️

Here's a little behind-the-scenes look at how I create levels for Minimal Move 2.

From sketching ideas on paper to building them in Unreal Engine 5, fine-tuning the gameplay, and finally testing everything on mobile.

Unreal Engine 30-Second Tip #07

Want multiple skins for your character?

Use the same rig and bone hierarchy, then import your new skin using the original Skeleton.

Same character, same animations, different skins!

Jungle skin is done! Part explorer, part PAW Patrol villain.

Each biome in Minimal Move 2 gets its own character skin, matching the mood of the world.

Simple shapes, simple colors, and still readable on a small phone screen.

Adapting Minimal Move's controls from PC to mobile wasn't that easy!

I tested dynamic vs. fixed joysticks, dead zones, contextual buttons, camera controls and more.

After many iterations, it's finally starting to feel right!

Same move, different worlds.
Where would you go first?

This file might be making your build much bigger.

Unreal generates a BuildData file when you build your lighting.

Keep your Lightmap Density in the blue or green range to reduce your build size.

Unreal may package maps you don't even use.

By default, Unreal can include maps that aren't needed in your final build.

By specifying which maps to include, you can avoid packaging unused levels and reduce your build size.

Large builds increase download times, take up more storage, and can reduce your install conversion rate.

In this tutorial, I cover:

What is Foliage Distance Culling?

Set a maximum rendering distance for trees and plants.

Less foliage rendered = better performance, especially on mobile.

What is a Cull Distance Volume?

It lets you define different culling distances based on object size.

Smaller objects can disappear sooner, while larger objects stay visible longer.

Fewer actors rendered = better performance.

What is frustum culling?

Objects outside the camera view are not rendered.

Simple, automatic, and great for performance.

But in large scenes, that may not be enough.

That's why we also use distance culling.
