I’m Najurul, a computer programming student passionate about breaking into the game development industry, specifically in AAA titles, with a focus on Unreal Engine. As a complete beginner in the field, I’m struggling to find a clear roadmap for how to get started.
I already have a solid foundation in programming, with experience in languages like Python, C#, and C++, and I feel confident in my knowledge of these languages. Now, I’m eager to transition into game development and build the skills necessary to land a job in the industry I love.
Above all, I want to enjoy the learning process while acquiring the skills required to succeed in this field. Any guidance on how to get started would be greatly appreciated!
Best advice is to just start playing around with the engine. There is a lot to learn and extensive documentation on unreals site of its c++ classes and functions. There is a wealth of tutorials on YouTube explaining from scratch how to set things up with either c++ or BP. My favorite to recommend and one that helped me a lot early on is Alamars Dev Domain. And don’t be afraid to ask questions on this forum when you come across specific challenges. Best of luck friend
Sure, simply put:
It’s the absolutely worse engine out of all of them to start learning anything on.
They do nothing properly, they show no proper tutorials, and you end up only really learning how you should do things when you work for others or with others who already learned.
