Welcome to Intro to Unreal Engine 4 (UE4)!

This course is designed for absolute beginners and will teach you the basics of Unreal Engine.

This course was built to teach you UE4 in the funnest and fastest way possible. As with all Devslopes courses you’ll spend 10% of your time on theory and 90% of your time actually building games!

NO CODING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED

All gameplay logic is through Unreal Blueprints!

This course is packed with the basics and core features of the Unreal Engine.

Some Things You’ll Learn:

Unreal Geometry editing tools (build your own levels)

Unreal Materials

Third person shooter mechanics

Creating and working with cameras

Setting up GameModes and LevelBlueprints

Handling player input for both keyboard and game pads

Working with Vectors and Rotations

AnimationBlueprints and BlendSpaces

Creating simple particle systems

Raycasting and shooting bullets

Simple AI and enemy attack

Creating game logic in Blueprints

User interface with UMG

Building mobile games

Post processing

And A LOT more

This course teaches Unreal Blueprints and does NOT cover C++

Unreal Blueprints are a powerful visual node-based coding tool that lets you build games WITHOUT WRITING CODE!

You can build entire games with Unreal Blueprints and get access to the full power of Unreal Engine.

If you want to make awesome games in Unreal Engine 4, then enroll now and we’ll see you in class!
