I wondered if I could keep up, but the lecture was so well-structured that it was easy to understand. The process of completing things step by step through practice was enjoyable, and they also shared many immediately useful tips and tricks in between, helping me learn things I never would have discovered on my own. Although it's still being updated, it was a lecture with a lot to learn and gain, truly fitting for a follow-up.

What you will gain after the course

  • By integrating GameMode with World Partition, you can understand the object-oriented structure of an open world.

  • You can learn the AI patrol flow through Behavior Trees and the navigation pipeline.

  • You can experience the structure of vehicle AI through spline-based road creation and vehicle movement.

  • You can learn the principles of controller design by manually extending the third-person player blueprint.

  • You can experience a modeling workflow involving Substance Painter, ZBrush, 3ds Max, and RizomUV.

  • You can understand large-scale map optimization concepts by utilizing World Partition and Data Layers.

[BP] An opportunity to learn GTA-style game development and [C++] horror game development at the same time!

3ds MAX, ZBrush, Substance Painter, UE Blueprint, unreal-engine5 based Unreal Engine practical game development course, covering everything from GTA-style open-world design to the implementation of C++ data-driven horror production systems.

[Blueprint] Introduction to GTA-Style Game Development Section


This course is designed for intermediate developers who have completed the practical and advanced Unreal Engine courses. While creating a GTA-style open-world game yourself, you will practice on a project structured based on the pipeline architecture recommended by Unreal Engine. Moving beyond simply copying functions, the course is designed to help you contemplate, implement, and internalize questions like "Why should the structure be set up this way?" and "How are large-scale projects like GTA organized?" You will experience everything from AI design, spawn systems, vehicle movement, and large-scale optimization to modeling and Unreal integration all at once, building design capabilities that can be applied immediately in the field.


After taking this course, you will be able to create results like these

Manager-based Object-Oriented Control System

Cars and citizens are automatically spawned according to the loading of the manager handled by the GameMode.
Each agent automatically switches between waiting, moving, and patrolling based on a state machine, operating smoothly even on massive maps.

Real-time Open World Streaming System

World Partition and the GameMode manager work together to automatically
spawn and remove NPC and vehicle AI at each tile loading and unloading point, enabling real-time exploration of a massive city without frame drops.

Creating a Third-Person Player

Implement a high-quality controller by adding Blueprint-based movement and camera settings for interaction and control with AI characters, along with animation, combat, and evasion features.

Modeling Special Lecture – Game Asset Creation

Import firearm assets created with Substance Painter, ZBrush, 3ds Max, and RizomUV into Unreal Engine, apply materials and lighting, and complete them to a production-ready state.

  • Students will naturally learn coding patterns used in real-world game projects, based on the structural usage and latest features of Unreal Engine 5.


  • You will directly implement AI movement logic, streaming levels using World Partition, situational control based on Data Layers, and traffic light/pedestrian response systems.

  • You will experience the integration of art and programming by placing 3D objects created with modeling tools into the game and connecting them to be interactive.


Special Lecture Introduction

This special lecture is the first step of a practical GTA project with invited instructor 'Youngman',
a course where you can directly experience the pipeline from 'gun modeling' to Unreal Engine integration.

[C++] Horror Game Development Section Introduction [Mini Project]


This course is designed for intermediate developers who have completed the Unreal Engine Advanced Course and the Part 3 Native C++ Course. Building upon the basic Unreal C++ knowledge covered in the advanced course, we will now move beyond simply implementing individual features and focus on internalizing "design structures that survive in large-scale projects."

This is not a lecture where you simply follow along and type out functions. It is designed to make you think and implement for yourself: "Why should this feature be separated into a class?" and "Why is data-driven design so powerful in actual industry pipelines?" Based on the pipeline structures recommended by Unreal Engine, you will develop system design capabilities that can be applied immediately in real-world scenarios.

Data-driven automation workflow

All production data is managed in a structured manner, and the Director Subsystem is designed to analyze the data and dynamically create appropriate action objects. We will build an 'automated production environment' that can respond to changes in planners' requirements through data input alone, without the need for code modifications.

Thorough Lifecycle Management for Risk Management

We thoroughly manage risks that may occur during character death or forced event interruptions during a sequence. By designing a safety mechanism that collectively handles the immediate removal of timer handles and the restoration of player control at the end of every action, we fundamentally prevent critical bugs (Soft-locks).

Extensible Interface and Inheritance Structure

Design a base class that serves as the foundation for all actions to establish a common interface. We will pass on a 'maintenance, repair, and reinforcement' centered programming pattern that allows the structure to expand without compromising the stability of the existing system when a new production category is needed.

Interaction-Linked Environment Control

You will learn functions to control the state of actors, such as rotating the camera or playing sounds. By linking with triggers, you will master the principles of 'Environment Action,' where environmental elements react in a chain when a player enters a specific area.

As this course focuses on C++ features and processes,
it does not cover level design as shown in the video above.
