Unreal Engine 4 – Build Your First Game with UE4

Requirements

• Basic understanding of navigating your chosen system

Learn to not only use UE4 but gain transferable skills that will assist you in any game development endeavour.

Build a complete game from an empty project up to packaging and sharing your work while getting an understanding of:

• The Unreal Interface and ecosystem
• Player Input and character movement
• Working with Splines
• Level creation
• Creating custom level design tools
• UI and Widgets
• Textures
• Materials
• Effects

Using a familiar “Roll a Ball” style game as the template for the course you’ll get the opportunity to learn a huge amount about the Unreal Engine and understand how to transfer that knowledge into your projects.

Not only that, but as we go through the course we will take the time to not only get things functional and leave it there as in many beginner examples. We’ll take deeper dives into refining player movement to be more enjoyable for the user. Looking at efficient ways to make reusable tools. Adding particle and sound effects to add impact to our game, all while keeping a focus on good programming practices.
