Course Overview
Learn Unreal blueprints by developing 3D games with this comprehensive guide from begin to finish
Often times, learning a new game engine can be difficult, especially when it comes to Unreal Engine 4. Unreal Engine 4 makes your 3D games stand out, as long as you know how to properly use it.
This course will teach you exactly how to use it. The 8 lectures course (which only takes over three hours of your time) starts off with the basics. It teaches you how to implement the basics to create great visuals that are real to the human mind. From there, you are taught simple, clear concepts. That way it’s easy to follow and Unreal Engine 4 becomes much easier to use.
The best part is, you will use the concepts learned for every single game project that you will ever develop. You will even discover and love using the difficult feature, the marketplace. While others (who didn’t take the course) will find that feature hard to maneuver.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Apply what you learned to build your own games from start to finish.
Organize your game development to make your workflow not only quality but faster.
Make use of Unreal’s blueprints to expand on every game and create new mechanic which works in your game.
What’s more? If you struggle with programming and coding, you are in luck! This course gives you examples upon examples guiding you through the fundamentals of Blueprint programming. So that in little to no time, you will be able to make magic with Blueprints.
You will finally get a course that teaches you how to build a game, from A to Z. When you are done, you will know how to make quality 3D that sets you apart.

I'd love to get more commentary as to why it is set up like it is. The whole idea of translating strings to integers is kind of weird for me. Why not use integers from the start and save yourself some trouble. Nevertheless, I learned a lot so far and the thing works (note: the sections are numbered wrong. Current section 7 comes before section 6).

I feel like the content is so good, but I found myself quite lost because I felt that I was doing the course blindfolded. I think that it would be better if the teacher would consider the problems and the tasks before doing anything. Maybe separate the classes being each one of them focusing different independent tasks and even giving the oportunity to the students to come up with the solution. Even I have understand everything Ive done, most of the moment I didnt know why were the purpose of the different variables. Same with functions.

Ugh... I'm super disappointed in this class. 1.) The instructor moves so fast it's hard to even see what he does half of the time much less code along. 2.) He doesn't explain WHY he does a single thing. It's just a step by step recreation. I suspect he's is either not a professional programmer, or hasn't been doing it very long, based on some of the way he codes things or how he says certain words. 3.) The videos are our of order, Section 7 needs to come before Section 6, and even then there is something missing after Section 5. 3.) **IMPORTANT** This code didn't work... I thought I was crazy, and I no joke wasted another 5 hours REDOING everything exactly the same in the videos... exactly the same... and my pieces don't move, or show available movement spaces, or even unhighlight when another is clicked. I maybe it because I'm on 4.25 but that has been an issue with any other class I have taken so far. And I'm no when is was ever suppose to work because I think he actually runs the code make 8 times in the whole class so I have no clue when the bug introduced or the feature was missed. Again, another indicator of a novice programmer... RUN YOUR CODE OFTEN!!! If you make a change, test it. If you write a ton of code (or in this case Blueprints) without testing. along the way, how the hell do you know if it's working.

Very concise and informative. Learned several principles and am excited to apply to my own projects.
