Are there any more Unreal C++ courses in the near future?

Unreal Courses Talk

Having done the excellent 3D and 2D learn Unreal courses and the Action Combat one. Are there any unreal 3D C++ courses in the background? Personally I would love to see one based soley on AI use in a game that builds on the Simple Shooter lessons. Make a cover shooter like Gears of war for example, would be my top one. Outside of course a lovely long series like the Unity RPG series which would be amazing! But wont be holding my breath :wink:

Just do not forget C++ please :folded_hands:

Many thanks

Hi Paul,

I am unaware of anything planned for the future. I know of a materials course coming and I personally have been playing with an RPG style project (the Unity ones took over 2 years to develop)

If you really want to challenge yourself however, and I do this myself, find an interesting course that is blueprint and follow but use C++ instead. It actually forces you to learn because you have a content guide but you’re using a different language. There’s a gotcha in that Blueprint often has stuff wrapped up nicely but you have to do it quite differently with C++.

I mean, on our website we do have the Stealth combat course in Blueprint which would be a great one to try in C++ instead of Blueprint - It’s got a lot of good mechanics too and a bit of AI related stuff for patroling enemies. A couple of others are the Survival course, there’s an FPS course and an Action Adventure course. These all offer something unique - the survival course is involved and covers a lot very quickly but has inventory, touches on PGC and a bit of AI, Build mechanics not disimilar to a lot of survival games out there, a basic Inventory system harvesting mechanics with a lot of room for expansion. The Stealth combat or Action Adventure courses would be easier to try with TBH.

Ultimately, I would say try C++ with Blueprint if you want more. The gotcha is the TAs may not be able to help you (actually, I can with Survival and Stealth Combat for sure) so you will have to work for it.

I hope this helps.
