Why take this course?

As a complete beginner, learning game development can be hard. My goal is that this course will make the process as fun and easy as possible!

In just 6 hours, I'll teach you how to create an entire game without any prior game development experience. Throughout every video, I thoroughly explain the necessary systems we're using in a clear and comprehensive way, so that by the end of this course, you'll not only have completed a game, but you'll also have a foundational knowledge of Unreal Engine that you can use to start making games on your own.

(Course owners will also get a free download for the project files I created for this series, that can be used for anything you like!)


Here’s everything that this course will cover.


The Basics:

I’ll teach you how to install UE5, make new projects, and edit levels with custom imported objects.

Programing a Professional Player Character:

We’ll add sprinting, customize our characters movement settings specifically to fit our game, then implement realistic, 3D sound effects and camera shake to enhance the games feel.

Reusable Blueprints:

Throughout the course I’ll show you how to create multiple Blueprints that you can reuse in all your levels, and easily set custom parameters for the important variables in them. We’ll be able to drag and drop these Blueprints to create full scale levels in just minutes. We’ll make things like subtitles, dangerous spikes, moving platforms, and pressure plates to activate them.

We’ll also create a dynamic item collection system, where the collectables are used to open the exit for each level. You’ll learn how to make systems that dynamically react to how many collectables are in your scene.

Level Design and Creation:

We’ll also take some time to go over a few basic level design principles, and draw out designs for each of our levels. After designing our levels, we’ll drag and drop our reusable Blueprints to construct every one super quickly and efficiently.

I’ll even teach some basic lighting and post processing systems that you can use to bring life to even the simplest scenes.

Programing Menus using Widgets:

After creating our levels, you’ll learn all about creating different kinds of menu, like a main menu where you can select levels you want to play, a pause screen that stops the game and allows users to return to the main menu, as well as a death screen and end screen.

Polishing and Improvements:

Once we’ve essentially finished our game, we’ll go back into our Blueprints, and make some tuning adjustments, bug fixes, and add extra sounds.


Become a video game developer today, you won’t regret it!

Overall a good course (even with UE5.2), lot of usefull things learned (core games mecanics) and a good pedagogy. The only downstar is that a big part of blueprints codes are not really explains in detail (why this node, why here?) but only explaines on surface, which is ok if you just want to make a game quickly, but insuffisent for someone who really want to dig in UE. But a good first course for sure!

Very excellent course overall. There are some minor hiccups in blueprint coding from previous versions I'm assuming but nothing you can't just google and resolve as they are quite infrequent.

Good starting tutorial on some basic systems in Unreal Engine 5. One thing I can recommend is maybe going over the first-person character blueprint nodes that are there by default but it's not neccessary. It's a good course.

I have done a few courses and this is one of the best for beginners wanting to learn blue prints. could not recommend more.

A course by an absolute legend, to help us become Unreal legends as well. Really enjoyed it and now feel quite comfortable diving into Unreal and getting into more advanced topics!

The course directly gets to the point, even though it covers only basics, the instructor is really competent in a way how the course must be delivered - no empty talk, everything is right to the point. I finished the course having a game, very simple game, however completed and fully functional project with GUI and some basic mechanics. I've added some things like timer, which shows time the player spends on every level, Niagara visual effects and some GUI sounds. I have also changed the gems counting system. Overall I feel like the course inspired me to work and dive deeper, unlike some other overrated courses here, where you spend dozens of hours on nothing.

Gavin is an actual successful indie game developer who has released a hit game on Steam. And his game is very good. It's awesome that someone of his experience and talent took the time to make this course. Highly recommended

Clear, concise, and extremely helpful. Touched on all of the major elements of Unreal 5.1 and gave great hands on experience with each piece.

Great course to learn from :) Few times I had to redo the chapter I was on because I did something wrong or it was not exactly the same but overall, I greatly enjoyed learning something that I wanted to learn for quite some time. Good Stuff!! Thanks

Amazing course for beginners. Sometimes I wish I knew before why we are doing the things that the teachers is showing, but eventually it gets explained while doing it, or after.

Very good first practical introduction to blueprints. It was much easier for me to wrap my head around vs. traditional programming.

For a beginner, this was too fast paced; however, the information that he went over will be very useful for building a starter game with levels.

This is my first game lesson and thanks so much, Gavin! The course is straightforward to understand and hands-on. The only thing you could improve is that your voice sounds a little creepy after sections 5 or 6. Anyway, I love it and will check your other classes. Thanks again!
