Course Description

Greetings and welcome to the "Unreal Engine 5: First Person Shooter" course!

Throughout this program, we'll embark on the exciting journey of prototyping an FPS game entirely from scratch, utilizing the power of blueprints. Wondering why blueprints? Well, visual scripting is not only beginner-friendly but also provides a dynamic way to witness your code in action, sparing you from the daunting task of sifting through countless lines of text.

Our resource arsenal includes free assets generously provided by Epic Games, talented creators, and a myriad of other sources, catering to our needs for visually stunning VFX and immersive SFX. Brace yourself as we tweak and tailor some of these assets to seamlessly integrate them into our game.

As we wrap up this course, you'll have successfully crafted the prototype for your very own single-player FPS adventure. From sculpting the player character and designing weapons to incorporating pickups like ammo and health, we'll delve into the fundamentals of basic level design and populate our digital world with a variety of formidable foes. Prepare to explore different techniques and understand the appropriateness of each approach.

Without further ado, let's dive headfirst into the realm of game development!

Good luck and have fun with it.

Currently taking the course. It does a good job walking through the steps, but I don't always feel like it explains the reasoning behind the process. Some sections are clear and easy to follow, while others move too quickly, and I've had to rewind several times to catch what was done. There is still some solid information and value in the course.

By Philip Grobler on 1/30/2026

He explains the work excellently. I am so glad that I got this course

By Isaac Frand on 11/21/2025

everything I could have hoped for in the course and more!

By Dakota Kimble on 4/2/2025

Great course, I feel like it's only half way updated and missing some functionality stated in the beginning (weapon fire modes etc.) but overall has been great

By Nick Drake on 12/14/2024

The Course is fairly solid, giving a lot of information on interface usage and with a strong focus on building good, sustainable habits over easy solutions. Instructor is not always the easiest to follow, I turned the speed down in order to better absorb the lessons, but overall the course is very good if you have a bit of experience coming in.

By minghao Xu on 11/28/2024

This is a very good course. The instructor has a magnetic voice, and the content is solid and detailed. The downside is that it feels a bit incomplete, with not much follow-up material. Additionally, the instructor sometimes deletes what has been done and redoes it, which can be a bit confusing at times. Other than that, it’s still a great course.

By Peter Gruessing on 9/12/2024

Very straightforward short easy to learn lessons.

By Matthew Terry on 6/12/2024

tried teaching myself stuff for 4 hours. epic games' website tutorials had out of date assets that didnt work with my version, and stalled my learning process for ages. first 13 minutes of this tutorial has been more helpful than anything I could find myself. W course

By Jeff Rich on 4/30/2024

Great course so far, it can get a bit chaotic in some sections, but the instructor explains things very well and we come out on top. Out of the many Unreal courses I've taken so far on Udemy, this is the best instructor I've had.

By Vincent Hua on 3/31/2024

I think so far it seems fairly okay. I had a lot of trouble with the launcher but other than that the instructions and explanations are simple and easy to follow
