Game Design Without Code

Zero coding required. You'll build a complete shooting gallery game in Unreal Engine using Blueprint Scripting—the visual system that lets you think in logic, not syntax.

This course has over 90 video lessons walking you through everything: setting up your project, adding free Epic Games Marketplace content, designing levels visually, adding particles and sounds, creating interactive menus and HUD, even custom rain and projectiles. By the end, you'll package your game for distribution.

Unreal Engine is free, open-source, and powers AAA titles like Fortnite. The skills you learn scale from your first gallery game to projects with ambitions far beyond.
