Greetings and welcome to the "Unreal Engine 5: First Person Shooter" course.
Throughout this program, we'll embark on the exciting journey of prototyping an FPS game entirely from scratch, utilizing the power of blueprints. Wondering why blueprints? Well, visual scripting is not only beginner-friendly but also provides a dynamic way to witness your code in action, sparing you from the daunting task of sifting through countless lines of text.

Our resource arsenal includes free assets generously provided by Epic Games, talented creators, and a myriad of other sources, catering to our needs for visually stunning VFX and immersive SFX. Brace yourself as we tweak and tailor some of these assets to seamlessly integrate them into our game.
As we wrap up this course, you'll have successfully crafted the prototype for your very own single-player FPS adventure. From sculpting the player character and designing weapons to incorporating pickups like ammo and health, we'll delve into the fundamentals of basic level design and populate our digital world with a variety of formidable foes. Prepare to explore different techniques and understand the appropriateness of each approach.
Without further ado, let's dive headfirst into the realm of game development.
Good luck and have fun with it.
