Description

Updated for Unreal Engine 5.3!Learn Unreal Engine 5 from scratch by making three different prototype games.This fast-paced course will take you from complete beginner to novice in a fun interactive way! All content within this course has been adapted from my teaching content taught in award-winning academia in England, designed to take anyone who has used a computer to prepare, teach and push them into the world of game development. This fast-paced course will be split into three prototype projects that will teach you the fundamentals and core principles of game design and scripting.Breakout:Develop a simple prototype similar to the classic retro title! You will learn concepts such Level Management, Collision, Cameras and Simple Game Logic. All done within the powerful blueprint scripting language packaged for free within Unreal Engine 5!Slot Car Racer:Remember playing with slot cars as a child? Maybe you have played a flash version in school? Well, you can make your own! Developing a local multiplayer game that only requires one keyboard! You will learn concepts such as Splines, Input Management, Events, Functions and Game LogicRock Paper Scissors:The ultimate decidor! This project might seem like a simple playground game but in fact, it holds a great lesson within some core gameplay pillars that every developer should know! You will learn concepts such as Blueprint Communication, RandomLogic, and Win&FailureStates. We can go even further with this project and turn it into a turn-based battle game! This course contains recordings from multiple teaching livestreams given. Plus: New for 2024. Access to new discord community for faster support.Access to future long lectures that expand on the three prototypes made within this course (Details within Discord)
