Retro Shooter

[grave plume]

I am trying to make an Ultrakill-inspired game using Unreal Engine but I don't know where I would start. Should I use the FPS template or the 3rd person template and just change the camera? This is for my game development subject at school and I would appreciate it if you guys could help.

Start with a plane project and start watching tuts on YT. Like how to make a first person movement, or how to add retro style to my game in Unreal. Or if you really dont have time, then just use the FPS Template and start working from there.

Empty projects are the best, every time I used a template I would spend hours trying to remove every unnecessary feature (like arm meshes for the vr, meshes for the console and everything else)
