Game Development and Prototyping

This Epic Games course brings earlier Unreal Engine work into a game prototype. Pre-production and implementation lead into several game-mode examples. Although the formal level is beginner, the sequence’s earlier project, assets and code provide important practical preparation.

What you will learn

• Organize pre-production for a game prototype.
• Connect assets and code in an implementation.
• Compare mechanics across game modes.
