COURSE OVERVIEW
AI GAME DEVELOPMENT BOOTCAMP
AI-Powered Unreal Game Development
Technical art and game programming are colliding with generative AI faster than most courses can keep up — and most existing Unreal Engine training still centers entirely on Blueprints or C++ alone, leaving students to stitch together fragmented AI tutorials meant for web and enterprise software.
This course takes a different approach. You'll use AI as a supervised production assistant — not an autopilot — inside a controlled development process: efficient prompting, human review checkpoints, code-quality checks, and asset-validation pipelines. You'll build two increasingly complex playable games in Unreal Engine, work directly in Epic's Verse language and in C++, and finish with a capstone project built for your portfolio.
WHY ENROLL
THREE REASONS THIS COURSE IS DIFFERENT
SPEED WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL
Learn to leverage AI tools — including free ones — to dramatically speed up development with UEFN and Unreal, while keeping full control and maintainability of your work.
MASTER EPIC'S NEXT-GEN STACK
You've heard the promises about AI productivity but still have real questions about asset generation, game design, and gameplay mechanics. You want a repeatable framework, not a gimmick.
GET AHEAD OF UE6
Prepare for the next generation of Unreal Engine releases, which — starting with UE6 — will gradually fade out the visual-scripting Blueprint system.
WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR
THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF...
YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT GAME ART, DESIGN, OR PROGRAMMING
Basic game engine experience and an understanding of Unreal Engine are necessary to keep up with this course — this is an intermediate-level course.
YOU WANT A REAL PROCESS FOR USING AI, NOT JUST HYPE
You've heard the promises about AI productivity but still have real questions about asset generation, game design, and gameplay mechanics. You want a repeatable framework, not a gimmick.
YOU WANT SKILLS TO FUTURE-PROOF YOUR UNREAL SKILLS
The announced deprecation of Blueprints in future UE6 versions has non-technical Unreal developers worried. You want to be ready for where the engine is headed.
THE PROBLEM WITH MOST AI + UNREAL CONTENT
FRAGMENTED RESOURCES, NO END-TO-END WORKFLOW
Most existing Unreal Engine courses focus primarily on Blueprints or C++. Only a handful cover UEFN, and fewer still teach Verse in any depth. Meanwhile, most AI-assisted development content is built for web and enterprise software, not game production.
As a result, students are left combining fragmented resources without ever seeing the full production pipeline — from prompt to portfolio-ready asset.
STARTING WITH UE6, BLUEPRINT VISUAL SCRIPTING WILL GRADUALLY FADE OUT OF UNREAL ENGINE.
This course gives non-technical and technical developers alike a structured, practical path through that transition — with a repeatable process for using generative AI confidently, without losing creative or technical control.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
BRENO AZEVEDO
EX-GAME DESIGNER AT EA LOS ANGELES
Brings over 20 years of expertise in game development
Breno has 20 years of professional experience in digital game design and development. He's credited on three AAA titles from Electronic Arts Los Angeles — Command & Conquer 3, Battle for Middle-earth II, and Rise of the Witch-king — and served as lead designer and game code supervisor at the official Apple Developer Academy.
He designed and developed RageTools, a best-selling toolkit on the Unity Asset Store, produced the 60-plus-person team behind the space MMORPG Taikodom at Hoplon, and created the curriculum for and taught the Advanced Unity undergraduate course at PUC Paraná, where he also earned his Master's in Computer Science. He's currently a Unity Team Lead Software Engineer at Plan A Technologies in Las Vegas.
