Unreal Engine C++ Developer
Learn C++ and Make Video Games

I found the course on Udemy by Gamedev.tv to be very useful

Here's the link https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

Gamedev.Tv helped me get a lift off. The course is frequently on 90% sale, I'd wait for that.

I come from a background in C++ already, but I've found this course to be a pretty great start in UE4 with hands on C++.

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

Same problem here, but I found something https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/?fbclid=PAAaY2TBz3sLg3mxC87LL1W4WHtm6amYpEyybCNAgJZqoParNyxSP5JGmw78s&utm_campaign=ROW-FB-PROS-DPA-21Q3CP-Group-B-Smartly-EN&utm_content=._pd_657932.&utm_medium=udemyads&utm_source=facebook&utm_term=.ag_group-b_highest_spenders_lal_5.ad_6271866329888._ I don't know how good it is because I have not used it yet, but if you look at reviews it seems quite good. Well, I know the price might be a problem, but it goes down once in a few days, so you can buy it for under 20€. If anyone finds anything else please share it with us!

I do believe they're talking about this course specifically.

So far, I love Unreal Engine, I have learned through lots and lots of youtube videos and googling. I already had C programming experience, so It wasnt that crazy for me to get the hand of the blueprints part. I recommend some courses in udemy, like this one: https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

I came across some interesting tutorials on a website called Udemy they offer video tutorials for about 12.99 during a sale period. I've purchased 2 that are c++ tutorials and walk you through a few projects along with an intro to c++.

Hope this helps.

For what you want , these guys https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/ cover tons of concepts and approaches. It goes on sale for 10.00 or 20 when the sale starts again. ( it feels like the sale is almost every other week lol not sure when though )

I'd recommend this course:

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

It is what I used to learn Unreal Engine 4. They have a few different sample games they make too.

Yeah there’s this site called game Dev.tv they have many courses, very cheap to buy in udemy.com if you wait for sales. You can choose between blueprint or coding. Blueprint is easy but I suggest coding.

The Unreal Engine course by GameDev.tv was a great jumping off point for me. It teaches you a good amount of C++ while applying it to Unreal Engine. It costs money, but Udemy runs sales every other day so you can usually get it for $15-$20. Good luck in your journey!

Here's the link: https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

I'm just starting to learn c++, I was trying to go the free route about it but idk it wasn't clicking for me.

But a few days ago I joined an online course by game.devs and to be honest it's a whole lot better, like I said I just joined a few days ago but from what I can tell it's better then the stuff I was checking out on YouTube.

As of right now I highly recommend checking out the course, they're running a sale of 80% off (I paid $17 I think?)

check them out

I think this udemy course is pretty good if you want to learn C++ in UE and everything else around it: https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

I actually stopped taking Depakote, Keppra, Clonidine, and Gabapentin after about a month when I was stabilized on benzos. There were too many depressants in my system and it made me have extremely depressed. I also didn't want to become too dependent on Depakote and have a withdrawal from that, which is apparently also horrible.

I just take Klonopin and Diazepam now and don't feel nearly as depressed. I also eat much healthier now. It can be a pain in the ass trying to learn C++ somedays, but I regularly take days off if I feel too overwhelmed and don't try to push myself too hard.

This is the course I'm taking btw. It makes learning C++ much more interesting.

I used this really great course at the beginning of development: https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/learn/lecture/15637754

Yes! I actually just saw his upload of the follow along with a tutorial from unreal. Definitely will check out the other stuff on there.

I was specifically looking at the one done in collaboration with epic games

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

There is the great course on Udemy and one of the projects is exactly a tank game (ofc it's very simple, but it's a great course to start). It's paid but the most of the time they have the 90+% discount and it's just about $10.

I was in a similar position to you 3 years ago, intermediate c++ knowledge that I hadn't used in a few years and was rusty with.(it was game programming so slightly related) I did about half of this Udemy course(it has a c++ refresher segment)

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

And three years later I have a game on steam that is more successful than I could have dreamed for my first game working by myself. Unreal is extremely powerful for a single developer and enables you to do a lot

Best cpp tutorial out there. https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

One ting to note c++ is not hard, I would say that it’s requires much more time (5 months to 1 year) than c#. Nonetheless if you’re planning to do game development professionally then ue4 is better in long term. As a programmer you will need to know both c++ and c#.

This doesn’t mean unity is bad, no it’s not but its limited, driven by danish morons that don’t care about you. Unity docs are top notch compared to ue4, I mean it, cpp docs are outdated since epic is focusing on blueprints for non professionals rather than cpp for people that will have a higher chance to finish a game.

One ting I can say for sure that unity makes game dev much more fun than ue4 since it’s easier like 10x easier.

Get this tutorial https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

After that build a small game by yourself, for example a shooting range will do, then you are going to have a better picture on the following steps

No problem, and I agree with you on unitys 3D graphics. It is so much easier to make a good looking 3D game in unreal. You can literally drop in a few assets, and then turn on some post processing effects and it looks amazing. If you want a good course to learn, Ben Tristem has an awesome course on udemy (it assumes no c++ experience though, but still worth it) https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/?utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=udemyads&utm_campaign=CPlusPlus_v.PROF_la.EN_cc.US_ti.4908&utm_content=deal4584&utm_term=._ag_82041678124.ad_436603254928.kw__._de_m.dm__._pl__._ti_dsa-777590867741.li_9013116.pd__.&matchtype=b&gclid=CjwKCAjwmrn5BRB2EiwAZgL9os05HmRxWkbI24WxijBajOp9yG0MA_U081o2UEb69ZhdHJixrdqFCBoCj_kQAvD_BwE . Good luck!

I have a Zenva Unity course that I picked up via Humble Bundle. That was a year or so ago.

My impressions were not great. The "courses" are compilations of stand alone YouTube quality how to code videos. Each track in a course starts out with the assumption that you are a beginner and doesn't build on what you have already learned.

If they used the same coding style and best practices this might be ok to reinforce the knowledge. But they do not. In fact some of the videos were outright contradictory.

I would recommend Epics Unreal Fast Track. And any of their learning materials. Or the courses put out by GameDev.tv https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

Unreal and 3D go together really well! If you're starting out I'd recommend Udemy courses. Gamedev.tv has some great courses that teach you the basics:

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

I skimmed a bit of that first video about pong they have. I can see how it might be tough to get useful learning out of what they are showing.

I'm no expert, merely following the advice of a friend in the industry, but I am doing this C++ UE4 tutorial and I reckon I'm having a bit more fun than you are, heh.

I really like their teaching style, as they get you into good habits of thinking out the coding process yourself with writing pseudo-code, writing code, then testing it and giving you challenges along the way before showing you their answer.

I'm only about half-way through, but it's been great so far as a total noobie.

heres a link :) https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

Well here's a start https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/?matchtype=b&gclid=Cj0KCQjwu8r4BRCzARIsAA21i_BKW8xFMy1oghCGD1fJMlRsQ3hD33aFbItDdOLA9th4C5176sixnu8aAlX3EALw_wcB

Appropriate those skills and learn from there. There are advanced courses too. I don't know why I got so many downvotes, it's pretty easy to find the courses on udemy you'd need.

Unity is decent for a start, but I would recommend Unreal Engine 4 because: 1. most of the console/PC game dev is done in C++ 2. network replication, movement interpolation and multiplayer (local coop, network coop, crossplay) is battle tested in UE4 3. full source code engine at your disposal 4. asset system is way better than in Unity, saves time 5. blueprints 6. Unity is switching to HDRP now, still implementing network libraries, it is a work-in-progress.

There is a good course here: https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

If you don't mind spending a little cash, I can highly recommend this course at Udemy which will give you a good solid base of C++ and Unreal programming by making 4 different games, including a shooter game with AI.

If you'd rather not, then the only way really (until I get my butt into gear and record the C++ series I've got planned) would be to lay it all out in Blueprint and convert it to C++ one node at a time.

Hi, if you’re interested to becoming a c++ game dev you can buy this course in Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/ (I’m learning c++ now too with this course and I can recommend it)

The Unreal C++ Course by GameDev.tv is the one I recommend as a starting point. It teaches you C++ in the Unreal Engine 4 by building games and explaining things as you go along. I've take other courses by GameDev.tv and have been happy with them.

Beginner to C++ and UE here.

I am currently working through this. It's a great course on C++ & UE 4.23 (I think .23) and the way that everything is trickle fed to you makes a really fun learning experience.

Personally I think that no course will teach you everything and you have to take 1 star ratings with a pinch of salt (someone could have been really frustrated at their learning pace when writing those reviews).

A bonus with that course is that Epic Games actually sponsored them to update the course (because it was using a previous UE version). So if Epic Games think they're doing a good job then something has to be right!

Hmm interesting. So I can just buy https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/ and it's the same thing? Is there no difference from getting off of Gamedev.tv?

Current 4th semester Level Designer here. The tl;dr is: no, it is not at all required (though any kind of comp-sci experience will come in handy, regardless of the track you choose).

Experience analyzing games is a solid thing to have for a Guildhall app, and sounds like you might fit well in the design track. There are certainly people who come to the program with absolutely zero game design experience but its good that you have some - I would strongly suggest continuing to build your skillset when you have the time before applying. You might check out some online design courses such as this Udemy course in Unreal Engine to get some solid "finished" projects in your portfolio to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of how to build a game. It sounds like you already have some experience there but the more you can demonstrate your capabilities, the better.

If you have additional questions about the design track I'm happy to answer any DMs; I'd also suggest emailing the Guildhall staff for a more comprehensive look at the program (you can find their email on the guildhall website). It's a rigorous program so be prepared to work your butt off, but its rewarding and you will build a great network of friends and contacts in the industry to lead off on the right foot when you graduate.

This one by Ben Tristem is commonly recommended.

I followed this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/ (don't worry, they're always on sale). It was a very tedious slog, but better than hunting around watching randos on youtube in my opinion. They start off with a focus on C++ outside of Unreal.

I would recommend Unreal, but I'm sure on /r/godot they'd be recommending Godot :)

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

I've never actually taken this course, but the instructor is a first class guy so it should get you going well. Good luck!

I've gotten through half of this Udemy course so far and it's pretty good. Just watch it at 2x speed if you're not a complete beginner. Super cheap too.

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

In line with what some other folks have commented, building back up from the basics through learning programming has been immensely helpful. Currently about halfway through this Udemy course:

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

Might feel like a slog at first but it’s engaging and detailed, and even if you’re ultimately going to be using Blueprints, very relevant to understand the foundation.

I would suggest taking one of the Udemy unreal engine courses. You can get them pretty cheap if you wait for a sale, which happens like every other day. The one from Ben Tristem comes highly recommended for beginners.

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

As an aside, you're right. This question has been asked before and it gets asked pretty much every single day. One of the most important skills to any software development is being able to formulate a question and then using the Internet to search for your answer. You can search this very subreddit for a bunch of suggestions on how to start in game development.

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/summary/ They are even remaking it right now, original was in 2016 I think.

I am doing this udemy course about unreal engine for the third time ( https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/ ). I always got distracted before getting to the end.

Correct, if you stick with Sandstorm editor you will miss out on newer items updated to the UE editor.

I did this course during lockdown 1, its grand in that it moves at a good pace and you end out having made something that you understand https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

I'm currently following the Unity course by GameDev.tv, which I'm quite happy with so far.

They also have a unreal course here.

Yes, thats why I suggested Udemy. Go here and read the description of that particular course to see what I mean.

Great one at least for beginning

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

I can recommend this. If you register in Udemy, make sure you use a coupon code, cause that gives you about 90% off from the price. I also bought this course, and atm at the 3rd part. If you don't like this, you can select another there.

\~10$ is a very fair price for a 30+ hours course, I think.

I'm new to coding too so I don't know too much about it, but for making pc games like COD, Minecraft, etc I was recommended C++, I bought a course on Udemy that teaches how to make games in Unreal Engine with C++ and it doesn't seem too hard to learn.

Here's the link to the course.

Will foreword by saying I have coding experience in C# and some other languages, but.. the Gamedev.tv UE4 course for C++ : Here was awesome for allowing me to use my fundamental programming knowledge and apply it to learning the specifics of C++.

I can't give you a time line as only engine I have real experience with being the unreal engine but I could guid you to some learning resources.

This is a great place to start.
