Open the Epic Games Launcher, select engine version 5.1, choose the games template with the third-person preset, rename the project, and create.

Master viewport navigation in Unreal Engine 5 by orbiting with right-click and WASD, panning with middle-click, and focusing on actors with F; use move, rotate, scale, and snapping.

Explore the content browser to manage assets, create folders, and open multiple windows. Then build a basic level with actors, lights, and a floor using shapes and skylight.

Model spikes in Unreal Engine 5 using modeling tools, duplicate and merge cones, add a bevel base, apply mesh boolean to create holes, and create a blueprint for up-down movement.

Create a trap blueprint in Unreal Engine 5 by building an actor blueprint with a static mesh, configuring simple collision, placing a player start, and animating the trap.

Learn to animate moving spikes in Unreal Engine 5 with a blueprint timeline, floats, and make vector to control position and trigger player death.

Add ragdoll physics to the third person blueprint character by enabling simulate physics on the collision mesh, disabling input, and organizing the logic into a kill player function.

Learn to implement a black-and-white post-process effect in Unreal Engine 5 by configuring a post process volume, adjusting saturation to zero, and applying a color grading setup.

Learn to implement slow motion in Unreal Engine 5 by adjusting global time dilation to 0.5 on a third-person character, testing gameplay and capturing moments for combat-focused scenes.

Import textures into Unreal, set texture group to UI and compression to user interface, then create a widget with the waisted icon after preparing it in Photoshop.

Create and place wasted widget in Unreal Engine 5 by building a user widget, adding an image, wrapping it in a size box, and centering it on main UI canvas.

Create and assign the player controller, create the WPP main UI widget, display it on screen, center it, and animate the wasted icon to appear when the player dies.
