Unreal Engine Blueprint Design Patterns: Code to Blueprints

I just started this course and enjoy it so much. The instructor is engaging and funny. The examples make sense. I will update this review at the end but for 20 minutes in I am amazed.

I was disappointed. The use of Java was a bad choice. No hands-on game dev examples for the design patterns.

It is probably fair to say that I am not in the list of "Who this course is for". I already know design patterns, and I think I know Unreal pretty well. But I took this course nevertheless, hoping to find something new. Now, as it is not fair to leave an average mark without some feedback, I think there are a number of ways this course could be improved: - Better explain each design pattern beforehand - Start with the original problem that lead to the appearance of the pattern. And please try to find better and more interesting examples besides the GoF quotes - The flow can be improved - I believe there would be better value of just pointing to the written code (as the students can get it from git) - especially if there's tricky parts. Also, maybe some quizzes or assignments where the students get to write the code themselves, if they so choose. Last, but not least, I think the length and volume of the jingles is a bit much - Regarding the Unreal part, I think there's much potential left for making parallels between Observer - Dispatchers, Singleton- GameInstance, to name just a few Anyway, congrats for the effort so far!

I am not a java programmer. but I am following along because of my background in C++. I am more interested in the implementation of the design patterns in Unreal Engine.

You do not need to check in BP "is interface implemented" and it does not make sense to use Java as a base language since ue4 uses c++. Also, all examples are not tightly coupled to real-world examples in game development, but only to pure academic examples. Despite all of that I enjoyed the course and hope to see more courses from the author.
