If you have ever wanted to make a 2D game using Unreal Engine 5 but couldn’t find out where to start, you are in the right place. I’m Single-minded Ryan, a game developer and digital artist, and I designed this course for beginners with no experience. Over more than 50 lectures, we are going to make a good-looking 2D platformer using Unreal Engine 5 step by step.
As always, I want you to feel like you are making a real game from the beginning, which is why I spent a lot of time hand-crafting the assets that come with this course, including high-quality character animations, background layers, game level tiles, and VFX animations. I believe the assets will make your learning experience immersive and encouraging.
Then let’s talk about the course.
I’m going to start by giving an introduction to make you feel comfortable with the Unreal editor. Then we will set up a new project, import the assets, and create the player. We are going to be using the Blueprint visual scripting system to control the player, so no coding experience is needed. In fact, Blueprint is a very powerful feature of the Unreal engine, and we are going to be using it everywhere throughout this course, such as implementing the player’s movement, creating the health system, creating the enemy’s AI behaviors, playing the VFX, controlling the game loop, etc.
