Who is this course for?

• Beginners with some Unreal Engine experience (at least 6 months). A basic understanding of the engine is recommended.
• Intermediate developers looking to expand their skills in game creation.

What you'll learn:

• Core Game Mechanics: Implement engaging combat and abilities for your characters.
• AI Development: Create intelligent AI for enemies like spiders (melee combat) and a powerful worm.
• Character Classes: Design and implement distinct character classes, including a Paladin and a Mage/Sorcerer.

Course Roadmap:

We'll build the game step-by-step, starting with:

1. Setting up the Paladin class and an AI Worm for dynamic combat.
2. Developing the Mage/Sorcerer class and its unique abilities.
3. Implementing AI for melee-focused enemies like spiders.
4. Adding interactive elements like destructible pots and collectible gold.
5. Creating a fully functional 4-player co-op experience.
6. Optimizing the game for Gamepad control.
