This hands-on course guides learners through the essential and intermediate stages of gameplay system development using Unreal Engine’s visual scripting system—Blueprints. Across four comprehensive modules, participants will progress from foundational Blueprint techniques to the creation of interactive, data-driven mechanics that drive gameplay experiences.

Learners will begin by identifying core Blueprint components and configuring project environments. They will then construct object and character logic such as directional input, player movement, sprinting, zoom, and projectiles. The course advances into crafting visual feedback systems by designing UI interfaces, binding variables for dynamic stat tracking, and regulating player behavior through resource constraints like stamina and ammo. Finally, learners will design and execute win condition logic, culminating in the ability to evaluate gameplay states and trigger game-ending events through Blueprint scripting. Throughout the course, students will apply core concepts to create a responsive first-person gameplay experience, integrating interactive elements that reinforce player feedback, control flow, and progression logic—all without writing a single line of code.

This project-based course empowers learners to design, develop, and implement a complete 2D-style arcade shooter game using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint system—no coding required. Through four progressive modules, students will configure core gameplay systems, construct reusable Blueprint classes, and apply loop-based logic to create responsive, scalable mechanics. Each module focuses on a key area of game development: input handling, camera control, object spawning, damage systems, and material feedback.

Participants will begin by setting up project environments, binding user inputs, and structuring controller logic. They will then construct fixed camera systems, develop obstacle hierarchies, and apply data-driven control flows using Structs, Enums, and Arrays. Later lessons focus on building asteroid actors, configuring health and collision systems, and managing actor lifecycles with timers and destruction events. Learners will also explore applying material blend modes and transparency techniques to enhance visual design. By the end of this course, students will be able to: • Create modular and reusable Blueprints for common arcade mechanics • Apply flow control structures such as loops and conditional execution • Design flexible actor behavior using class inheritance and editable properties • Implement real-time interactions, damage logic, and spawn timing • Analyze gameplay systems for performance and responsiveness This course is ideal for aspiring game developers, designers, and technical artists seeking a hands-on introduction to gameplay logic without writing C++ code. All concepts guiding learners to apply, analyze, construct, and evaluate their own game systems in Unreal Engine.

This comprehensive course guides learners through the process of designing, developing, and deploying AI-based gameplay mechanics and interface systems using Unreal Engine. Students will learn to construct intelligent enemy behaviors using behavior trees, blackboards, and AI controllers, and configure sensory inputs and wandering patterns to simulate realistic enemy logic.

Through interactive Blueprint scripting, participants will develop player feedback systems, including health meters, noise detection, and responsive reactions to combat scenarios. The course also explores how to implement persistent save systems and adapt gameplay difficulty using dynamic variables and stage progression. Learners will further create polished UI experiences such as pause menus, lose screens, and reset buttons, and evaluate the functionality of their game state systems through iterative testing. Finally, the course concludes with methods to prepare and publish a user-ready interface for a complete gameplay experience. By the end of the course, learners will be able to independently design, develop, and deploy scalable AI systems and user interfaces for immersive action-based games.
