I got a certificate and later I’ll print it.
What courses do you recommend doing next(I allow non GameDev.tv courses)?
This is my requirements:
It needs to relatively popular.
It needs to grow my knowledge of Unreal Engine 5 and be able to make the characters and levels.
I am thinking of making a real game that I can put on mobile.
I am thinking of learning Blender. Is Blender necessary to make better character? Are there better alternatives than Blender? I want to learn Blender because I want to make better characters. In Unreal one time in the ToonTanks I had a challenge that was at the end of the section that makes me choose new static meshes. But I couldn’t find many things. I want to be able to create my own characters. It would also be nice if people could play with me. Like multiplayer. I am really curious about levels. I do not how to switch levels in Unreal Engine 5. I would also like a main menu and other features that “normal” games are published have.
I also am wondering: could I do an Unreal Engine 4 course when I’m using Unreal Engine 5. Is Unreal Engine 4 really compatible with Unreal Engine 5 courses? I decide learning Unreal Engine 5 because later it’ll be published and I want to make better games.
Now what do you think about what course I should do after Unreal Engine C++ Developer: Learn C++ and Make Video Games?
I am also thinking of reviewing Unreal C++ Developer: Learn C++ and Make Video Games. How do I do that?
I’ll just make up a review(this is not my final one(maybe it is); it’s just one that shows you the idea):
I think that the Unreal C++ Developer: Learn C++ Developer course is outstanding. It teaches you without confusing beginners(I’m not a beginner, I’m just saying in the perspective of when I started the course) like me.
It starts with a game called Triple X. I think it is an simple game that teaches you the fundamentals of C++ in a fun way not like a lesson that teaches you it; that is a more boring way. In fact, I already knew C++ before I took this course(I learnt at Codecademy). I already had a year experience with coding just not making games. Here is a fun(maybe it isn’t) fact: I don’t use Unity or any other game engines. Instead I like the project based. I like this course the project based way because it’s actually fun and you just want to learn more so the game will be better.
Next we have: Bulls & Cows! I think it expands your knowledge of C++ but it introduces Unreal Engine. I am satisfied with that approach because I wanted to get started Unreal while learning C++. I wouldn’t want the Bull Cow game to be just in plain C++.
Next I’m going to analyse the Building Escape. It was fun and I built the grabber. I like that idea of grabing things and putting it in the tirgger volume. I kind of average like that games but by opinions I know I’ll make more complex games than that. It made me develop my level design skills because I had to start the game from scratch. I liked Building Escape!
Next: Toon Tanks! The game introduces you to 3rd person. I like that now it is not just relying on the default pawn. I learnt stuff about projectiles and how they can move. I learnt how to add audio. I also started to learn AI which was cool! I am curious about how enemies could follow you.
Next my favourite: Simple Shooter. It started off with learning about characters. Now I love characters better than pawns or actors. I practised on more input. I took into a cool deep dive into animation which I really liked. Then I went into AI which was very cool that you could code or Blueprint the enemies. And that they can follow you and kill you. Then I was faced into UI. Then I did the Health Bars and that I really liked health bars. They tell you how much health is left. Then I polished up the game: I added music. Personally, now I think that I make a game that’s actually exciting. The music was actually like a real game’s one.
I am going to rank which my least favourite projects to my favourite:
Triple X!
Bulls & Cows!!
Building Escape!!!
Simple Shooter!!!
In summary, I think this course is engaging and is an excellent and outstanding course!
After taking this I feel like I can actually make games which I really wanted to.
