What you will learn
- Set up Unreal Engine and all of its foundational components
- Add basic movement to game objects and create collision mechanism
- Design and implement interfaces to extend player interaction
- Create a dynamically filling inventory system along with a UI to interact with it
- Add audio effects based on triggered events to various parts of the game environment
- Use analytic information to tune their game values
- Create complex enemy AI that can sense the world around it in a multiplayer game
- Deploy your game to multiple platforms and share it with the world
Who this book is for
If you are new to game development or just staring out with Unreal Engine 4's Blueprint Visual Scripting system, then this book is for you. No prior game design or development experience is required. Basic knowledge of the Unreal Engine is preferred but not essential.
