From the creator

Don't worry, it's not going to be tomorrow, but MASSIVE changes are coming with Unreal Engine 6! Epic Games have officially announced that UE6 will ship with both Blueprints and Actors... but as soon as their replacements are ready, both are going to be deprecated... which more or less means... RIP Blueprints and RIP…
