We will focus on those that, in our opinion, are not only the most important, but also have significance for mobile developers.

1.

“Epics” added such a nice thing as automatic import of assets. Now it is enough to throw sounds, textures or models into a given folder so that the engine immediately automatically imports them into the project.

2.

Not only the blueprints interface has been seriously redesigned, but a number of new functions have also been added.

We will not describe all the changes now, just note that Epic Games is now putting a lot of effort into its visual script editor, which allows, roughly speaking, programming without using code. In update 4.7, a huge number of edits and additions concern him.

3.

Unreal Engine 4.7 games can now be run in the browser. The engine has implemented full support for HTML5 and WebGL exports.

4.

Android projects can now be built on Mac.
