We’ll begin by installing Unreal Engine and learning how to use it. You’ll get familiar with the interface, the viewport, and other key features that are essential for building games.

Next, we’ll explore important concepts like Actors, Components, Levels, and Blueprints. You’ll create your first bit of game logic by building a simple system, like opening a door with a lever using trigger boxes.

Mini Project:
Build a small interactive scene where you can open a door, play a sound, or hit a target.

This week, we’ll set up custom characters for your game and learn how to use the FAB marketplace to bring in assets. You'll see how to add these assets to your own project.

We’ll also create player abilities like aiming, shooting, and sprinting. Then, we’ll build a simple animation system to bring your character to life. These tools will help you handle future game challenges with confidence.

Mini Project:
Create an obstacle course that uses your new movement and shooting skills.

Now it’s time to build the core systems that make your game fun to play. You’ll add things like health, damage, ammo, and scoring to support your gameplay.

We’ll also design your first user interface (UI), including a crosshair and ammo counter so players can keep track of important info.

Mini Project:
Use your obstacle course to test these new systems—add challenges like limited ammo or penalties for shooting the wrong targets!
