[Unreal Expert Course] UE5 Sparta Class: Open World Urban Game

The beginning of a realistic open world where AI recognizes and reacts to the city center.

3ds MAX, ZBrush, Substance Painter, UE Blueprint, unreal-engine5 and
system design-driven Unreal-based GTA-style open-world game development project

This course is personally conducted by an Unreal Authorized Instructor officially certified by Epic Games.
Beyond simple feature explanations, it is structured to help you learn practical skills that can be applied immediately to real-world projects.

Sparta Class Roadmap💎

Hello! I am YAL, a 2025 Unreal Authorized Instructor.

“You’re only a real developer if you build with C++.”
I hear this often. I agree, too. However, that’s not the whole story.

I believe that "C++ proficiency is different from understanding Unreal's pipeline structure."
I believe the essence of game development lies in structure rather than language, and that true skill is built through the process of repeatedly learning structures through rapid prototyping.

Unreal Engine's Blueprints are not just a simple introductory tool. They enable image-based thinking and rapid iteration, allowing you to intuitively learn relationships between objects and system structures while implementing features.

By completing two or three projects on your own using only Blueprints, you will intuitively learn questions like "Why should this function be placed here?" and "Why should this class be separated?". If you transition to C++ after that, I believe you can become a developer who knows how to design structures, rather than someone who just writes code.

Therefore, this lecture is not just a tutorial where you simply follow along, but aims to help you master the flow of practical game development with a high degree of completion, from experiencing an actual GTA-style structure firsthand to
implementation → design → expansion.

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

GTA-Style Open World Project Implemented with Unreal Engine 5

This course is designed for intermediate developers who have completed the Unreal Engine Practical and Advanced courses. While creating a GTA-style open-world game yourself, you will practice on a project structured based on the pipeline recommended by Unreal Engine. Moving beyond simply following along with 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, large-scale optimization, to modeling and Unreal integration all at once, developing design capabilities that can be applied immediately in the field.

Special Lecture Introduction

This special lecture is a course where you can directly experience the pipeline from 'firearm modeling' to Unreal Engine integration, which is the first stage of a practical GTA project with our guest instructor, 'Youngman'.

This special lecture is the Pre-pass Introductory Section of the GTA project course, designed so that students who are unfamiliar with 3D modeling or wish to take only the programming portion can optionally skip it through the provision of modeling files.
