Learning Unreal Engine in One Month to make a Game!

Unreal Engine is an incredibly powerful game engine that I have wanted to learn for a while now, so I dedicated the month of January to learn Unreal Engine 5 and then make a game with it.

Learning to make video games with Unreal Engine 5 was tricky at first. Watching Unreal Engine beginners guides on youtube wasn't working out too well for me. Compared to Unity and Godot, UE5 has a lot more things to learn and the amount and quality of the learning resources are much worse in my opinion. What really helped me learn Unreal Engine 5 was a gamedev.tv course on learning unreal with C++. C plus plus is a programing language that Unreal Engine uses. Unreal also has a visual programming language called blueprints.

After making 5 beginner projects with the course from game dev tv, I spent the rest of the month creating my own video game in unreal engine. The game I was going to make is a puzzle horror game where there are spooky statues that only move when they are in the dark and freeze when they are in light. The player has to solve puzzles trying to escape a room while avoiding the statues.

Due to some issues at the end I couldn't quite export the game, but I still had a lot of fun learning unreal engine in a month and would recommend that you learn UE as well if you like game dev.
