Course: Unreal essentials: A roadmap to 2.5D indie games

Day 1 (5.27.2025)- I am starting this course today. Thanks Epic Games for this course. I am already having trouble finding 5.5.3 version engine in my library which is what he is asking us to do right? Update : I decided to use 5.5.4 instead.

Day 2 (5.28.2025) - I am also so lost with folders and seeing all his folders in the video is also confusing. I dragged and dropped Asset Kit to my content manually. Am I supposed to do the same thing for Game25D file because that file seem to have everything including playable game. For newer student like myself that is confusing! If anyone is also doing this project please comment and explain me this step.
Update: I’ve decided to ignore every new file I see unless he is talking about it or doing something during each tutorial.

Day 3 (5/29/2025) - Landscape Experiment Time :joy: One of my favorite haha

Day 4 (5/30/2025) - More Landscaping Experiment learned from my previous Epic Course training.

Day 5 (6/3/2025) - I have decided to skip the World Building course for now cuz I want to experiment with my character and enemies AI. I am hoping to figure this out in 2 days and if I can’t, then I will go back to World Building…

Day 6 (6/4/2025) - I am sure I will end up making more, but this is some of the stuff I worked on today. Packed Level actors are really cool, but I made a few mistakes where I mistakenly added other assets and that was annoying (lesson learned) but I love packed level actors.

Day7 (6/5/2025) - I am almost done with Landscape and World building for the 2.5D game. Packed Level Actors are really awesome and tomorrow I will be adding sounds which are also really fun to mess around with to come up with something cool.
I noticed that tutorial PLA were overlapping with each other and the shuttering effects were really annoying, which is why I remade all the PLA just to diminish them as low as possible and also making my own PLA was a lot of fun to work around for this game. I also made the castle and that felt perfect to me. I am happy and proud of myself for finishing this today.
