Start building games with our new course: ‘Your First Game in Unreal Engine’
Unreal Engine’s new “Your First Game in Unreal Engine” course is aimed at newcomers, but the feature list is more interesting than the label suggests. Instead of stopping at simple movement or scene setup, it walks through building an animated start countdown, a game timer, a checkpoint system, exploding mines, and related gameplay pieces.
For developers, that matters because these are the kinds of systems that force you to connect UI, state flow, and level logic early. It’s the sort of course that can help a new teammate get productive faster, or give solo devs a structured path from tutorial land into something that resembles a shippable prototype. The article doesn’t mention a release date or course length, just that it’s available now.
