I think that this is one of the best courses to get into an fps game mechanics in unreal engine. The hardest part its to make sprites, that require alot of time and alot of effort, but this is a common "problem" of the 2d game art , but i reccomend it cause it gives to your game a great charm! Uisco its great to explain and even for me that my english its pretty bad , i learned and understood alot from those lessons! So just give it a chance and enjoy making your retro fps adventure!

Fairly good and straightforward so far. Goes a little fast for my liking, but that is easily solved by pausing and rewinding a bit or slowing down the play speed.

Great lecture overall, a lot of interesting and varied techniques used! However it felt a bit unorganized at times, especially the organization of nodes within the blueprints. Other than that, I'm very happy with the purchase and where the course left me. Recommended to anyone that would like to know more about blueprints and the use of 2D sprites in Unreal 5!

Hello, thanks you really much for this course. I think this the best i ever follow, i speak school level english, but i have all understainding. Really complet for do an eighties DoomLike, and open to do more other features. Sure some more element could be add in this course like a sniper system, an elevator system, a target sight, and a comportement of the ennemi who flee when he has a little energy after be damaged, if he's not brave, a dismembrement system (Head shot, loose a Arm or a Leg...) But this is enought to have a strong starter kit to have fun with it and focus on graphics. Thanks you again and i hope you will do others great courses like this. (Sorry for my bad english)

A great course for retro shooters like Doom 1 etc. I've learned a lot. I can only recommend the course to anyone who wants to create Reto Shooter 5 out of 5 stars

This has got to be the ultimate course for developing a retro/Doom style First-Person Shooter in Unreal Engine. It essentially provides you with a complete and game-ready shooter framework that you can tweak, build upon or use for your own games, including AI behaviour trees, integrating 2D imported sprites to create own custom 2d weapons, NPCs or items which you can easily create with Gimp or Photoshop. You learn how to capture the unique atmosphere from games such as Doom via the level building features and post processing in Unreal and much more. The instructor also added the finished project for you to download, which most instructors don't do and which for me adds additional value to a very good course.

Everything you'd expect in a systematic, organized fashion. I had the unreal engine 4 version of this course, and am extremely happy to see it updated for UE 5. I'm looking forward to more courses from this dev!
