The 20 Most Useful Perspective Tips I’ve Picked Up, Drawing Storyboards Professionally For 20+ Years by Steve Worthington

In this extensive game design course, I will lead you through the step-by-step process of creating a side-scrolling platformer game inspired by classic titles like “Mario,” using Unreal Engine – the premier, free-to-download gaming engine also behind the blockbuster “Fortnite.”

The course includes over 75 engaging video lessons, meticulously sequenced for easy follow-along. Key learnings encompass:

• Setting up and creating a project in Unreal Engine
• Constructing a 2D level using 3D objects
• Configuring a side-scrolling camera
• Establishing character movement mechanics
• Creating interactive objects through Blueprint Scripting
• Developing power-ups and special player abilities
• Implementing simple enemy AI
• Establishing a checkpoint system
• Handling player respawns
• Creating a functional Heads-Up Display (HUD)
• Crafting interactive menus
• Developing a dynamic approach to implementing “Level Settings,” simplifying customization of elements like music and time limits per level
• Architecting a gaming project within Unreal’s Project Settings

With the skills acquired in these video lessons, you’ll be prepared to embark on building your gaming creations without the need for any programming knowledge.

Upon completing the course, share photos or videos of your creations, and I’ll feature them in future community communications. Join me on this exciting journey into game design with Unreal Engine!
