Unreal Engine 5 C++ The Ultimate Game Developer Course

Learn Unreal Engine 5 C++ Programming by Creating an Action-RPG Style Open World Game! Unreal Engine 5 C++ The Ultimate Game Developer Course

This course will take you from beginner to hero as we create everything in this course project from scratch. Learn Unreal Engine 5’s new features from?Open World?maps,?Quixel Bridge?megascans for ultra-realistic environments, landscape?sculpting?and?painting,?dungeons, free-roaming creatures and humanoids with various?weapons,?breakable objects?that?spawn treasure, and more!

Unreal Engine 5 C++ The Ultimate Game Developer Course

Slay your way through your open world level, hacking and slashing creatures, breaking pots and collecting treasure and souls, and try to keep your health and stamina high!

We will implement enemy behavior that can be reused for various creature types, including gruntlings, raptors, insects, and golems. Code your character to be able to pick up and equip better and better weapons as she slays stronger and stronger monsters and collects loot.

We will cover new Unreal Engine 5 features such as?Motion Warping,?Meta Sounds,?Linked Anim Graphs, UE5’s new retargeting system with?IK?Rigs?and?IK?Retargeters,?Leg IK?with?Control Rigs, visual effect creation in?Niagara, and more!

We’ll start with a completely empty level and add everything from sky and atmosphere, nature, trees and plants, and we’ll even import an entire dungeon level with the use of UE5’s new?Packed Level Instance?feature.

We will cover?vectors?and game development?mathematics?in a full math section to prepare you for gameplay programming before diving in and creating our first C++?class.

We will then learn Unreal Engine’s class hierarchy, creating a basic?Actor, learning about trigonometry as we use the?sine?function to give our items floating behavior.

We then create a Bird using the?Pawn?class so we can fly around our level and get a literal bird’s-eye view.

We then create our?Character?class, using?Echo?from the Valley of the Ancient Epic-released free project, a beautiful and lifelike humanoid with?cloth physics?on her scarf and garments.

We implement?weapon equipping?and?combat. We learn how to calculate?directional hit reactions, using?root motion animations?to make our enemies stumble in the correct direction based on the direction of impact. Unreal Engine 5 C++ The Ultimate Game Developer Course

We give our enemies?patrolling?behavior, then chasing and?attacking?behavior. We make our enemies smarter with the use of UE5’s new?Motion Warping?system, warping our enemy’s location and rotation to make it hit the target more frequently, and making it harder to move out of harm’s way.

We then give Echo a fighting chance, by implementing a?dodge?ability, similar to Dark Souls and Elden Ring. She can dodge out of the way while the enemy swings fervently, making them miss so we can move in to counter-attack.

We make?breakable pots and vases?using the?Chaos destruction system, and these breakables?spawn treasure?when we break them, allowing us to collect loot and increment our?gold?count in the HUD. Unreal Engine 5 C++ The Ultimate Game Developer Course

We create a beautiful Soul effect in?Niagara, and make enemies?spawn souls?upon death so we can gain?experience points.

We learn how to make enemies stronger with an?Attribute?component, giving them varying levels of?health?and?damage, and?soul spawn counts.

We use UE5’s new?Animation Blueprint Templates?to reuse all of our enemy code to create different types of enemies, from humanoids that wield weapons to creatures that bite, sting, and smash. Unreal Engine 5 C++ The Ultimate Game Developer Course
