Learn How to Make Video Games with this Unreal Engine 5 Course for Intermediate Game Developers

Continue your game dev studies with one of the most up-to-date Unreal Engine courses available. This course is regularly updated so that it will always cover one of the most recent versions of Unreal Engine 5.

I also spent a great deal of time before the course was first published to plan out all the lessons so that:

1. nothing is covered without the prerequisite knowledge needed being covered first

2. lectures and sections are self-contained without jumping from topic to topic

In other words, I strived to structure the course in the “ideal” order, in order to reduce confusion to a minimum. At this point in your studies, you should understand how difficult it is to achieve goals 1 and 2 at the same time, as so many various topics are closely interrelated, so I’m very proud of what I was able to accomplish with this course.
