Learn game development with Unreal Engine 5. UE5 is the industry-leading 3D game design software that the professionals use to create today’s top games. Start your journey towards getting paid to make video games today!

Learn Video Game Development with this Unreal Engine 5 Course for Intermediate UE5 Developers .

Begin your game development career with possibly the most up-to-date game dev course on the internet - Unreal Engine 5: The Ultimate Third Person Shooter Course. Every lecture in this course was filmed using the full version of Unreal Engine 5, released in April 2022.

This course is designed for those who want to learn as much about Unreal Engine 5 as possible. If you’re interested in becoming an indie developer or even working for a major studio, then this is a course for you to start with. This course will teach you some beginner to intermidiate skills needed in the workplace.

This course does not cover the fundamentals you are expected to have either previous experience with Unreal Engine, or a strong foundation in programming in another language.

This course will cover the following topics in thorough detail in order to take you to the 'next level', such as:

Data Tables

.CSV (import/export) data management

Actor Types

Actor Components

Event Dispatchers

Proper Controller Vs. Character

Collisions & Interactions

Blueprint Macros & Nodes

Blueprint Interfaces

Audio Classes

& More!

We will learn, and apply 'Cutting-Edge Game Design Software Techniques' on one of the best, if not the best software, ever published.

Unreal Engine has won the “Best Game Engine” award several times from various organizations, including the Develop Industry Excellence Awards and Game Developer Magazine. The Unreal Engine has been used to develop many blockbuster movies, games and game franchises including the new movie Matrix: Resurrections, and AAA titles such as: Fortnite, BioShock, Gears of War, Splinter Cell, Rainbow 6, Borderlands, Dishonored, Mass Effect, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and hundreds more.

For years, the Unreal Engine was only affordable for large companies, but now, Unreal Engine 5 is completely free to use, as long as you agree to pay Epic Games 5% of your game sales over $1 million. Learn Unreal Engine 5 in this Video Game Design Course.

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of game development using the Unreal Engine 5 through a series of lectures and tutorials. By the end of the course, you will have built an entire demo game from scratch.

This course is designed for Intermediate developers wanting to to take their game to the next level. However, -ALL LEVELS- of knowledge from beginner to expert are welcome to join in the fun.

The first part of the course will be centered around creating your character controller. We will spend hours tweaking our movement settings and building beautiful camera transitions determined by player inputs. We will create proper animation cache states for Aim Offset weapon handling, as well as FABRIK IK left hand postion anchoring. We will create a 4-way walk cycle while carrying a rifle in Ironsight, Hipfire, and Crouching positions. We will also focus on creating our Gun Actor Component using Data Tables and Blueprint Interface Events to craft a beautiful code base for any Unreal Engine project. Then, you will learn how to script health tracking, inventory, and interaction systems. You will learn about collisions and damage, key concepts for any action game. You will learn how to create user interfaces using the UMG Editor, so you can add things like menus, load screens, and crosshairs to your screen. And finally, you will learn how audio works within the Engine so you can add music, dialogue, and sound effects to your game.

This course is designed to give you an 'edge' using Unreal Engine 5 and make you competitive in the both the job market and your personal circles. I will introduce you to some more advanced concepts of game development using the Engine.
