How do i even start?!

So I’ve got the idea, a city/settlement management + colony sim, i know my key systems I need for the game, "I’ve worked out the core mechanics. I’m not sure where to start with what in UE5. Do i need blueprints or C++. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.

Hey @bridgey77 I sounds like you’re new to Unreal, so I suggest you start with the basics. Check out the New to Unreal Engine page. There are plenty of tutorials that should help you get started.

Cheers!

Hey there @bridgey77! Welcome to the community! I would recommend getting started with a learning path to get to grips with the engine first, then start working on the game you’d like to do.

After you have a handle on the engine, I’d take a look at the Cropout game sample, as it has lots of the components needed to make a game in the genre you would like:
