I really enjoyed this course, but at the end it lists a “What is Next” section containing tutorials that do not seem to exist.

Add Interactivity and Sound to the Scene

  • Building the world out with a functional vista
  • Adding and editing the skybox
  • Adding animated assets
  • Making certain assets interactive to pick up using Blueprint
  • Setting up doors that open and close on hinges as well as slide
  • How to place ambient audio and loop

I would love to continue refining the Detective’s Office project, but the completed level example doesn’t contain these changes either, so I can’t even try to reverse-engineer it to learn those things.

I know this is an old thread, but hopefully this saves someone else time searching for the next course for the Detective’s Office.

Thank you so much for your feedback and helping us improve our content for others. We were overly ambitious with this one and due to plans and priorities shifting were not able to make the follow-up courses. :disappointed_relieved:

We are working to reflect the changes and remove the “What’s next” section from the conclusion, hopefully clearing up the confusion for future viewers.

As for someone who’s really interested in learning how to “world build” or create levels, this was super helpful, but at the same time it wasn’t, I didn’t bother going through the whole thing, and i’m going to after i state this, but for it to start by saying that maya or any other software knowledge isn’t required, and then proceeded to show us maya instead of world building within unreal itself seemed a little overwhelming, i’m still learning this stuff but i feel as if the tutorial would of been a little better to understand if it was just strictly focused within unreal engine, again i know this is old but just alittle feedback. If anyone is kind enough to point me in the direction of learning to world build and level edit that would be great thank you <3 and learn on :slight_smile:
