Unreal Engine FPS & Action Game Development Specialization

This course empowers learners to design, construct, and finalize a fully functional first-person shooter (FPS) game using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint visual scripting system. Spanning foundational setup to advanced combat logic and UI feedback, the course provides a structured, hands-on pathway for game developers aiming to build immersive and dynamic FPS experiences.

Learners will begin by creating a player controller system, including health, armor, and movement mechanics. As the course progresses, they will develop realistic weapon systems, integrate sound and visual effects, and construct reload mechanics and HUD components. The course advances into AI behavior design and game objectives, teaching students how to implement enemy tracking, chase sequences, and mission progress systems. In the final phase, students will assemble UI elements, apply gameplay timers, and integrate polish features such as crosshairs, notifications, and modular weapon switching. By the end of this course, learners will have the capability to evaluate, refine, and deploy a complete FPS gameplay loop, demonstrating professional-level understanding of gameplay logic and player feedback systems in Unreal Engine.

This hands-on course equips learners with the essential skills to apply, implement, and integrate core gameplay mechanics in Unreal Engine by building a functional First-Person Shooter (FPS) prototype. Through a structured, project-based approach spanning seven detailed modules, learners will progressively construct interactive components ranging from player control and input systems to AI behavior and scoring mechanics.

Starting with foundational project setup and controller configuration, the course moves into character logic, action mapping, and firing mechanisms. Learners then develop advanced systems such as line tracing, target feedback, and health segmentation, while also designing dynamic UI screens and score displays using widget blueprints. Each module emphasizes practical outcomes and real-time interactivity, encouraging learners to analyze, synthesize, and refine visual, functional, and behavioral aspects of gameplay. From implementing sprint and crouch mechanics to creating responsive user interfaces and particle effects, learners will graduate with a fully functioning, visually enhanced FPS game prototype. By the end of this course, learners will be able to: • Construct and configure input and movement mechanics using Blueprints. • Implement responsive UI screens linked to gameplay variables. • Design and apply scoring, health, and AI systems. • Evaluate and modify visual feedback systems including materials and particles. • Integrate all systems into a polished, interactive FPS prototype. This course is ideal for aspiring game developers who want to build, connect, and enhance gameplay logic using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint scripting system.

This comprehensive course equips learners with the skills to design, implement, synthesize, and evaluate advanced gameplay mechanics using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint system. Through a structured, hands-on approach, learners will progressively build a feature-rich action RPG project from the ground up—starting with character setup and animation pipelines, progressing through dynamic camera and control systems, and culminating in robust AI combat, magic systems, and final game packaging.

The course begins with foundational concepts, guiding learners through constructing responsive character blueprints, blendspaces, and animation states. As students advance, they apply input bindings, game modes, and camera logic to build immersive controls. AI design is tackled through reactive behaviors, flinch animations, and magic-based combat mechanics. Learners will then develop layered systems for wave-based enemy spawning, health pickups, and visual feedback, before packaging the completed project into a functional build. By the end of the course, students will have the knowledge and confidence to build, test, and deploy professional-grade gameplay systems using only Blueprints—no prior coding experience required.

This course empowers learners to apply core physics principles and implement dynamic simulations using Unreal Engine’s built-in physics tools. Beginning with foundational setups, students will construct physics-enabled levels, manipulate gravity, and configure object behavior to achieve lifelike motion and collisions.

Through a series of progressively challenging lessons, learners will develop skills in working with physical materials, such as friction and restitution, and assign them to objects to control surface interactions. As they advance, they will employ physics constraints to restrict motion, and deploy force actors to simulate real-world effects like explosions and wind fields. By the end of the course, students will have the confidence to synthesize physics systems into interactive environments, ready for use in games, simulations, or virtual experiences. With a blend of guided instruction, practice quizzes, and graded assessments, this course supports both conceptual understanding and technical execution.
