If you don't want to use Visual Studio IDE to compile your projects (f.e. you prefer Sublime text editor), you can build your game without it.

Grabbing the MSBuild

First, you need to get the MSBuild. This tool is part of .NET Framework, also as part of MSVS installation. Path can be different according to your OS version, f.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin

I recommend to add its path to the PATH system variable to make your life easier.

Building the game

This command will build the Shooter Game example (you need to generate .sln files first):

msbuild "\Unreal Projects\ShooterGame\ShooterGame.sln" /p:configuration=Development /p:platform=Windows

Use /t:rebuild to completely rebuild the game solution.

Comments

You can use this tool with whatever IDE or text editor you want.
