Unreal Engine Game Development Blueprints

Book Description

Unreal Engine Game Development Blueprints will help you unleash the true power of Unreal by helping you create compelling and entertaining games. He will explain all aspects of game development, focus on the visual scenario, and provide you with all the information you need to create your own games. We’ll start with an introductory chapter to help you navigate smoothly inside the Blueprint UI, recognize its various components, and understand any Blueprint script already written.

After that, you’ll learn how to modify the generated Blueprint classes to create a single-player tic-tac-toe game and personalize it. Next, you’ll learn how to create simple user interfaces and how to extend Blueprints with code. This will help you make an informed decision between choosing Blueprint or Code. Then you’ll see the real power of Unreal as you create a beautiful scene with moving objects, particles and AI controlled light. You will then learn how to create an AI using a behavior tree and a global plan, how to modify the camera, and how to fire custom bullets. Finally, you’ll create a complex game using Blueprintable components with menus, power-ups, dangerous objects, and various weapons.
