Like a lot of people on here, I am new to UE4 and I am looking for a good tutorial for UE4.
More specifically I want a very simple tutorial designed for a complete beginner that, once completed, I will have a very basic simple game to play. I am talking one level,with one enemy and just a few simple assets. In fact the more simpleit is the better.
I want this specifically because I know that’s how I learn. I know my brain will imagine UE4 as a unconquerable beast even if I finish 50 tutorials on various things if I don’t make a little game in it.
I am hesitant to get really specific with my question, because I don’t know which would be best (I don’t know how hard it will end up being) and I would have get more suggestions from people to choose from, or maybe I would even do every suggestion given. (If there is not a lot)
To try to answer your question, my goal here is just to learn, and to have a basic game as a confidence boost, not to sell or anything. Because of this, I don’t really care what genre it is as long as I am learning some basic stuff about creatinga game and UE4. So if the tutorial included scoring and menu, that’s fine, if not, that is fine as well.
The main metric I have is "Is this tutorial too complicated for a complete beginner? Will I be out of my depth, get too lost to continue and give up?
I think I may have found one!
Tutorials | Shooter Tutorial - I haven’t looked at it much, but it looks good. I am still very open to alternatives so if you know one please feel free to post it!
For any beginners looking for a similar resource, here is some stuff I came across:
The official UE4 massive tutorial playlist on YouTube
Here is a youtube series walking through the basics of UE4
Here is one that fits what I am looking for, except I have a feeling it might be a little more complex then I wanted, and also the guy seems to have abandoned the tutorials halfway through the game. (although following them up to where he stopsIam sure would be very educational)
Here a a couple of tutorials I found that fit what I’m looking for, except they are in unity:
I don’t think UE4 has been out long enough for there to many full “how to create a game from scratch” type tutorial series plus UE4 gets changes/updates quite regularly so the tutorials can get outdated quite fast, there is a creating COD zombies game thread, I don’t think its finished but you can learn a lot from it.
Thanks for the reply and the link. It looks like just the type of thing I want! I think what I may do is complete the first section of each of these game tutorials then choose which one I want to completefully. Once Ive done that, if I feel confident Ill go start my own project, and if not Ill choose a second tutorial to do.
Awesome,thank you for those links. I glanced through them ad they look very promising.
I’ve gotten some really quality replies and there are more resources out there similar to what I was asking then I thought there would be, so I pretty freaking happy right now.
