Understanding Core Terms and Structure of Unreal Engine 5 in One Go!

Have a solid understanding of the core fundamental terms and concepts used in Unreal Engine 5.

"I know you're developing a game with Unreal Engine, but what, how much, and how can I do with it?"

Unreal Engine 5 is a great game creation tool that supports development in literally every field that constitutes a game. The more you understand the functions and usability of the engine, the more efficient your development becomes, and the more fun it becomes to develop the game itself. And understanding the engine begins with understanding the terms, concepts, and structures.

This course starts with learning what the terms frequently used in Unreal Engine 5 mean and what roles they play in each field, then goes on to understand the relationships between the terms and grasp the overall structure, and finally, based on the knowledge learned, experiences creating a game using the engine. It was created with the aim of improving the understanding and utilization of the engine for those who are just getting started with game development.

I recommend this to these people

🏆 After class

• Go from being an aspiring developer who knew nothing about Unreal Engine 5 to a game developer who understands the engine's various features and game framework.

• You will be able to develop simple games with 3D play environments using Unreal Engine 5.

• It becomes easier to learn on your own by finding documentation, game projects, and content officially provided by Unreal Engine.

Features of this course

Learn about these things

📝 Part 1: Learning key terms and concepts & practicing the engine editor

• Actors, components, levels, materials, etc.
  We will take a look at the meaning, concepts, and roles of the basic terms used in Unreal Engine 5.

• If you have any unfamiliar math or coding knowledge, we will briefly touch on this as well.

• By running the actual engine editor,
  Let's take a quick hands-on look at how these concepts are used within the engine.

🛠 Second half: Embodiment and review through simple game production practice

• You will embody what you learned in the first half through game production practice.

• Rather than simply rushing to follow the production practices of knowledge sharers,
  Experience and understand first-hand how specific concepts or features are applied in actual game production.

• Build your own 3D gameplay environment with player movement, collision and event handling, NPCs, simple UI, and more.

Who created this course

• As an undergraduate student, I created a simple game as an assignment for a computer graphics class and I enjoyed creating a new world with my fingertips, which made me gradually consider game development as a career.

  
  
  

• After hearing that "Most large-scale AAA-level games are developed with Unreal Engine," I hastily enrolled in a short-term Unreal game production course at an academy, and just blindly followed the training without understanding "why it was implemented that way." With the crude results I created that way, I somehow managed to get a job.
  
  

• As soon as I joined the company, I was given the task without even knowing the basic concepts of Unreal Engine 5... At the time, I was busy just finishing the task given to me. I was busy mechanically following the standard format without even fundamentally understanding how exactly Unreal Engine helps in game development or why the project source code was designed in that form and structure.
  
  

• This lecture was created out of a strong regret that if I had a better understanding of the Unreal Engine itself in advance, I would have been able to develop more enjoyably and efficiently with a much more relaxed mind.
  
  

• Unreal Engine 5 has its own official documentation and tutorial content, but I think it is too much and too heavy for beginners to access. I hope this lecture will help to solve that difficulty.
