Unreal Engine: Intro to Game Design

In this introductory game design course, I will be guiding you step-by-step through the construction of a simple shooting gallery game using Unreal Engine 4:  THE premier free to download gaming engine!  (AND the SAME engine used to build "Fortnite").

The course contains over 65 fun-to-follow video lessons taught by 12 year gaming industry veteran and full time game design instructor Greg Wondra.  

Things learned in this course include:

• How to setup and create a project in Unreal Engine 4

• How to navigate and use essential tools available in Unreal Engine 4

• How to create a basic game design document

• How to create a graybox (rough draft) level

• How to dress up (make pretty!) levels using static meshes, materials, particles, sounds, and lights.

• How to create interactive objects using Blueprint Scripting (NO CODING KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED!)

• How to create interactive menus and a game HUD

• And more!

With the knowledge gained in these video lessons, you will be armed with the necessary skills to start building your OWN gaming creations (WITHOUT any programming knowledge needed!)
