About this ebook

Blueprints Visual Scripting for Unreal Engine is a step-by-step approach to building a fully functional game, one system at a time. Starting with a basic First Person Shooter template, each chapter will extend the prototype to create an increasingly complex and robust game experience. You will progress from creating basic shooting mechanics to gradually more complex systems that will generate user interface elements and intelligent enemy behavior. Focusing on universally applicable skills, the expertise you will develop in utilizing Blueprints can translate to other types of genres.

By the time you finish the book, you will have a fully functional First Person Shooter game and the skills necessary to expand on the game to develop an entertaining, memorable experience for your players.

From making customizations to player movement to creating new AI and game mechanics from scratch, you will discover everything you need to know to get started with game development using Blueprints and Unreal Engine 4.

This is a really great super long tutorial on Blueprints. I really like the author's approach on building simple smaller tasks that when combined together makes for a complex end result. Just be sure to use the same version UE as the book or be prepared to discover the small changes to UE that were made after this book was made.

This book bridges the gap between beginner level blueprints tutorials and the more advanced stuff. Really well written and easy to understand. Highly recommend.
