Become a developer with Unreal Engine!
Whether you are a beginning game developer, programmer, artist or designer, Unreal Engine offers you everything you need being one of the most popular and widely used game engines by professionals.
Create games the way you imagine them with Blueprints!
Jump right into game creation without any experience with one of Unreal Engine's key features. Blueprints is a powerful visual programming language that allows you to create any game you want - and fast. Use the same techniques AAA studios use in their Blueprint projects. Everything is free.
By the end of this course, you will have created and coded a platformer (SpeedBall) and a shooter (CloneStrike) from start to finish with easy follow-along videos. You will be able to apply the same principles to your own future games.
My name is Moustafa, and I am the director and developer of Farmtale on Steam made only with Blueprints. With years of experience making games and teaching, I will show the ins and outs of game development.
