Unreal Engine 5 Blueprint Game Development (Updated to 5.6) (Udemy.com)

Just finished the course. Overall, the instruction is very clear and the instructor is knowledgeable, which makes the learning process fun and at the same time, a bit challenging. The various projects created during the course are fun, and I can´t wait to expand them in the future, once I´ve learned more about Unreal. All in all, Gamedev.tv has delivered a superb course and I definitely got my money´s worth out of it and recommend it to others, who are interested in learning Unreal Engine

Tutor teaches good practises and teaches many valuable things. They explain certain practises again if it has been a while in a previous lesson and the difficulty becomes higher, maybe the third game is a bit steep for some, but great course nonetheless.

Prior to this, I finished the GameDev.tv Unreal C++ course. I thought that one was great. It perhaps made me spoiled or set a level expectation to what I thought a GameDev.tv Unreal course would be. Slight disclaimer. I am an actual game developer. Though I haven't worked in Unreal or Unity for that matter. The games I've developed have been on custom game engines. As such, my view is perhaps a bit more cynical than most. Where I think this course falls short is that many best practices for Unreal are not upheld. For example, where to put blueprints, naming practices, etc. The instructor changes naming convention along the way and arbitrarily puts assets in folders. As the course progresses a bit, there is an attempt to create folders, but by then it is too late. Games are about assets. And most games will have thousands of assets. So naming and where things go is highly important. Another shortcoming is that some of the logic flows are not ideal. I found myself modifying what the instructor did many a time. And lastly (or at least of the items I wish to list), the games are often quite incomplete. While expected do a degree, I would expect enough connection of ideas. The C++ really shined comparatively in these areas.

Really enjoying the course content, I did about 20 hours of Unreal learning on a different site, and it was fine, but after doing the first 10 modules it felt like the first half was stuff we already did in the previous modules (repetitive) doing the same steps over and over each time a new module would begin. So, some of this stuff I've already learned but it's been nice to apply my learning from the other site to this. I like that in this course that the content feels more varied for each section and I'm learning multiple systems in Unreal that the other site did not touch on or if they did, it was just glossed over. (i.e., Modeling, Timelines, Collapsing to Macros & Functions) so that's been nice to learn these things. As a semi-beginner of Unreal this so far has been really informative and pretty easy to follow along with, I definitely recommend this course for beginners in Unreal and Blueprints!

The course and the way of teaching with some challenges are amazing .....+

the instructions are very clear and crisp the quality of content packed in a single video is very impressive. the videos are densely packed. It's like a concentrated juice you have to add water in order to enjoy it similarly you have to pause, repeat and take notes of the lectures to get 100% of information. I highly recommend this course for beginner learners.

Great course, a little hard to follow at times, plus I found a (temporary) bug! I definitely learned a tonne and feel much more confident about Unreal now. Later on, I found that the teacher moved extremely quickly when adding new BP elements, to the point that several times I had to pause and move super slowly to make sure I was choosing the correct function. Also, there's a sneaky (admittedly temporary) bug which was missed due to the way the lessons were constructed. After setting up the Mars Marine wave spawns but before adding difficulty, you create a bug because the array does not reset when a new wave begins. If a learner (like me) tests that our waves continue to go up, you'll be hit with a never-ending wave 2. In the video, you only check that wave 2 begins, and then immediately exit play and move on. You fix this bug in the next video by adding the difficulty into the wave start, but anyone being fastidious on the lesson before won't know that. I had to debug this myself which slowed me down a bit between these lessons.

Update 5.6 is the best. The visuals and sound are excellent, and the instructor is clear, easy to follow, and very high quality. It’s beginner-friendly, yet uses expert-level choices in nodes and planning. Everything is clean, well-structured, and awesome. Thank you so much

I am very impressed with the cadence, pacing, vocal emphasis, and presentation. The presenter is following an interesting flow, which reveals a thoughtfully, purposefully specific approach to address issues that someone new to this would likely encounter. This is a well-planned and delivered video training production.

I'm still in progress following the course. I like the course so far. This is the kind of Unreal Engine blueprint tutorial I was looking for. It is easy to follow and understand. The updated UE 5.6 of this course really fits my needs. For a person like me who wants to begin a learning journey in game development, this course is a great choice.
