In this video series I demonstrate how to create a Flappy Bird like game in Unreal Engine using Blueprints.
That’s right, NO coding involved.
This series is very beginner friendly, however, I recommend having a basic understanding of the Unreal Engine interface before starting this course.
In this free Unreal Engine course we will cover:
- Importing files into Unreal Engine
- Creating basic Blueprint Classes
- Working with the visual scripting part of blueprints
- Setting up 2D sprites
- Designing your own character mechanics
- Setting up a score system
- Creating enemies and friendly units in your game
Each video is packed with simple tips and tricks that will help you on your way to create your own game.
I hope you enjoy this series, it was a pleasure to create it 🙂
