How to make a clicker game – Start your 2D journey.

This Unreal Engine course will teach you how to make a Clicker Game in Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) from scratch, similar to the iconic games Clicker Heroes and Cookie Clicker. You will learn the basics of 2D game development in UE5 as well as more advanced topics like game mechanics and UI design.

You don’t need any prior game development experience to take this course; we will go through it step-by-step. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced Unreal Engine developer, this course has something for everyone who wants to learn how to make a clicker game in UE5.

The main objective of this course is to make you confident in making Unreal 2D games. It will allow you to earn money and work as an independent game developer from home. In fact, I have been a full-time UE5 game developer for a couple of years, creating games, designing courses, and selling game assets through the Unreal Engine marketplace.

Start your 2D game development journey today by learning how to make a Clicker Game!

Make games without coding.

Unreal Engine blueprint is the powerful Unreal Engine scripting language used in UE5. It allows you to create your game from start to finish without writing a single line of code. That means you can easily create your game even if you are a beginner, artist, or designer without programming experience.

This course doesn’t require any programming or Unreal Engine experience. We will go through the Unreal Engine blueprint basics and slowly advance to developing more complex game mechanics. You will learn how to develop games from start to finish.

You can jump into this course as a beginner as you will learn step-by-step how to make a clicker game from scratch.

Can Unreal Engine make 2D games?

UE5 is highly known for its impressive 3D graphics. However, it may surprise some that creating 2D games in Unreal Engine is also possible. As an individual who has made numerous 2D games using Unreal Engine, I thoroughly enjoy it and highly recommend it.

Here are the benefits of making 2D games in Unreal Engine 5:

1. You can use Unreal Engine blueprint to code 2D games, which you also use for 3D games. That means you won’t need to learn a new language if switching from 3D to 2D game development.

2. You can give your 2D game a unique 3D look by integrating 3D lighting and god rays.

3. You can make a 2D game in a 3D environment.

4. Making a 2D level and adding assets and characters is simple and can be done in minutes.

5. You don’t have to learn anything new when switching between 2D and 3D games because you use the same engine tools.

While learning how to make a clicker game, you will see how fun and easy it is to make Unreal 2D games. Suppose you’re more interested in Unreal Engine 5 multiplayer. In that case, you can look at my multiplayer course on how to make a platformer game.

Learn all aspects of 2D in UE5, not just clicker games.

This course teaches you how to use Unreal Engine for 2D games in general, although the main focus is creating a clicking game. Throughout the course, you will learn how to work with various 2D assets such as sprites, flipbooks (animated 2D assets), characters, and 2D environments, among other things.

When working with UE5, it is more crucial to focus on the tools used during game development than to specifically focus on how to make a clicker game. By mastering the tools taught in this course, you can create any 2D game using UE5.

Learn everything you need to know about 2D and clicker games.

While learning how to make a clicker game, the course comprehensively covers various aspects of making 2D games in Unreal Engine 5. In this course, you will learn:

How to make a video game from scratch using the Unreal 2D features.

How to create tile sets and tile maps to design your 2D level.

How to create sprites and flipbooks for static and animated 2D assets.

Learn how to spawn, damage, and kill enemies using the Mouse Cursor

You will also learn other aspects of 2D game development, such as adding 2D user interfaces, visual effects, and sound effects. When completing this course, you can confidently design your own video game.

Take this course and get certified.

Completing the course on how to make a clicker game earns you an Unreal Engine certification. You can use it to strengthen your portfolio as an independent game developer or use it when applying for game development jobs. The Unreal Engine certification can be downloaded and saved locally and is valid indefinitely.
