mikeroyal / unreal-engine-guide Goto Github PK

I saw you have the link to the Xbox Dev mode under the Xbox section of your wonderful guide.
I would recommend probably removing it because Unreal Engine does not officially support the UWP app format, or you could add an extra bit explaining that while it can't be used with the official version of Unreal, there are some custom branches of Unreal that add support for the format including the one released by Microsoft's Xbox team ages ago (https://github.com/MICROSOFT-XBOX-ATG/MICROSOFT_UWP_UNREAL), and the one ported forward by a community member that is still very old (UE 4.24) (https://github.com/EmmettJnr/UnrealEngine). These obviously require building the engine from source.
You can still use other engines with UWP support like Unity or Godot, just not Unreal (I believe Tim Sweeny has objections to UWP).

I just want to help people who might see dev mode save them hours diving down the rabbit hole that is trying to make an Xbox game, and the TLDR is that you can't really do it in Unreal Engine without the closed, NDA protected SDKs from Microsoft/Epic Games that you get with ID@Xbox and similar arrangements.

3x URL's which don't quite work in the PDF's due to minor typo's:

• Photogrammetry/3DF Zephyr
• Photogrammetry/ClusterODM
• C++Tools/Rider

I have made a PR with the very minor typo fixes:
#22

The README has 9 occurrences where the source link is typed ass Source:[ when it should be Source: [.

For anyone trying to export it as a PDF with Markdown-PDF extension in VS Code 😉
