It was a bit more difficult than the advanced version, but it was very substantial! By following the lecture curriculum, I was able to greatly improve my understanding of Unreal Engine. I'm looking forward to other follow-up courses in the future! Thank you!

The quality of this course is crazy good😭😭 It's so much fun trying out various functions and filling things in one by one😆😆😆😆 It was worth patiently listening through the advanced course...... I'm also looking forward to future updates!!

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
You can understand the object-oriented structure of an open world by integrating GameMode with World Partition.
You can learn the AI patrol flow using Behavior Trees and the navigation pipeline.
With spline-based road creation and vehicle movement, you can get a feel for how vehicle AI is structured.
You can learn controller design principles by manually extending the third-person player blueprint.
You can experience a modeling workflow using Substance Painter, ZBrush, 3Ds Max, and RIZOM UV.
You can understand the concept of optimizing large-scale maps using World Partition and Data Layers.
[BP] An opportunity to learn GTA-style game development and [C++] horror game development at the same time!

Sparta Class Roadmap💎
[Blueprint] Introduction to the GTA-Style Game Development Section
This course is designed for intermediate developers who have completed the practical and advanced Unreal Engine courses. You will practice building a project based on the pipeline structure recommended by Unreal Engine while creating an open-world game in the style of GTA. Rather than simply following along and typing in features, this course is designed to help you think through and implement the answers to questions like "Why should the structure be designed this way?" and "How are large-scale projects like GTA structured?" so that you can fully internalize them. You will gain hands-on experience with AI design, spawn systems, vehicle movement, large-scale optimization, and modeling and Unreal integration all at once, developing design skills you can put to immediate use in real-world projects.
After completing the course, you will be able to create results like these
Manager-Based Object-Oriented Control System
Automatically spawn cars and citizens according to the loading of the managers managed by GameMode.
Each agent automatically switches between waiting, moving, and patrolling based on a state machine, operating smoothly even on large maps.
Real-Time Open-World Streaming System
World Partition and the GameMode manager work together to automatically
spawn/remove NPC and vehicle AI whenever tiles are loaded or unloaded, allowing you to explore a vast city in real time without frame drops.
Third-person player creation
Implement a high-quality controller by adding Blueprint-based movement and camera settings, animations, and combat and evasion features for interacting with and controlling AI characters.
Modeling Intensive – Game Asset Creation
Import firearm assets created with Substance Painter, ZBrush, 3Ds Max, and RIZOM UV into Unreal Engine, apply materials and lighting, and finalize them for practical use.
You will naturally learn the coding patterns used in real-world game projects based on a structured approach to Unreal Engine 5 and its latest features.
You will directly implement AI movement logic, streaming levels using World Partition, situation control based on Data Layers, and traffic light/pedestrian response systems.
By placing 3D objects created directly with modeling tools into the game and connecting them for interaction, you’ll gain integrated experience in both art and programming.
Special Lecture Introduction
This special lecture is the first step in a hands-on GTA project with the invited instructor, 'Instructor Youngman,
and lets you experience the entire pipeline firsthand, from “firearm modeling” to integration with Unreal Engine.
[C++] Horror Game Development Section Introduction [Mini Project]
This course is intended for intermediate developers who have completed Unreal Engine Advanced and Part 3: Native C++. Building on the foundational Unreal C++ knowledge covered in the advanced course, you will now focus on internalizing "design structures that survive in large-scale projects", going beyond the level of implementing individual features.
This is not simply a course where you follow along and implement features. It is designed to have you think through and implement "Why should this feature be separated into a class?" and "Why is data-driven design so powerful in real-world production pipelines?" yourself. Based on the pipeline structure recommended by Unreal Engine, you will develop system design skills that can be applied immediately in practice.
What You Will Learn
Data-driven automated workflow
All direction data is structured and managed, and the system is designed so that the Director Subsystem analyzes the data and dynamically generates the appropriate action objects. This establishes an “automated production environment” that can respond to changes in planners’ requirements through data entry alone, without modifying the code.
Thorough lifecycle management for risk management
We thoroughly manage risks that may arise from character death or forced event interruption during direction. We design a safeguard that immediately removes timer handles and restores player control at the end of every action, thereby preventing critical bugs (soft locks) at the source.
Extensible interfaces and inheritance structure
Design a base class that serves as the foundation for all actions and establish a common interface. We teach a programming pattern centered on “maintenance, repair, and enhancement,” enabling the structure to be expanded when new direction categories are needed without compromising the stability of the existing system.
Interaction-Linked Environment Control
Learn how to control actors’ states, such as making a camera rotate or playing a sound. In conjunction with triggers, you will learn the principles of “Environment Action,” in which environmental elements respond in a chain when the player enters a specific area.
This course focuses on C++ features and processes
and does not cover level design like in the video above.
Important Notes Before Enrollment
Practice Environment
Operating system: Windows 10 or later recommended
Tools used: Unreal Engine 5.5 is recommended, Visual Studio
Optional:
Substance Painter, ZBrush, 3Ds Max, RIZOM UV (※ All paid)
<3Ds Max is available for free with student verification>
PC specifications: CPU i7 or higher, 32GB RAM or more, GPU RTX 3060 or higher recommended
