How to learn UE5 turn based game development

I am beginner in the unreal engine. I bough a action game course. I will finish the course soon, but I want to develop turn based game. I searched udemy and youtube, but I couldn’t find unreal engine 5 turn based game course. What do you suggest? Do you know any course or a way to learn it? Or should I learn other genres until I am no longer beginner?

Hey @emekibrhm!

A majority of what you can learn using a UE4 course still applies for UE5. There have been some changes that may change what nodes/code you need to use, but essentially the methodology remains the same.

If you found a course for UE4 on YouTube for example, I would give that a try as you will most likely still have success albeit with a need for a little bit of updating.

Good luck on learning UE!

Hey @emekibrhm!

IMO since you seem willing to invest the time I suggest you learn regardless of the genre. Most of the time you won’t find specific tutorials on how to do X or Y systems so at very least getting familiar with the tools available to you will go a long way.

There are some really good courses in Udemy from Tom Looman (also check out his web) and Gamedev.tv that could interest you. Try and focus your learning on C++ so you’ll be able to dive into the engine and see what makes it tick (IMO this is very important). Blueprint and C++ work really well together so you’ll only get the best of both worlds.

Math is also a very overlooked topic and one that will requiere a lot of time to learn. It’s not even funny the amount of people that find themselves frustrated because they are not able to do the simplest operation with vectors. Udemy has this great math course that can get you started fast. There are also many good books like this one and this other one, among many others.

I also recommend you keep Youtube as a learning source for Unreal Engine at a minimum, at least for now. There are some really good channel, it’s just that it’s more of a quantity > quality kinda thing.

Hope you find this helpful. Keep coming back to this forum I’m sure you’ll find many that are willing to help if you ever get stuck.
