Learning to make video games with Unreal Engine 5 was tricky at first. Watching Unreal Engine beginners guides on youtube wasn't working out too well for me. Compared to Unity and Godot, UE5 has a lot more things to learn and the amount and quality of the learning resources are much worse in my opinion. What really helped me learn Unreal Engine 5 was a gamedev.tv course on learning unreal with C++. C plus plus is a programing language that Unreal Engine uses. Unreal also has a visual programming language called blueprints.
After making 5 beginner projects with the course from game dev tv, I spent the rest of the month creating my own video game in unreal engine. The game I was going to make is a puzzle horror game where there are spooky statues that only move when they are in the dark and freeze when they are in light. The player has to solve puzzles trying to escape a room while avoiding the statues.
Due to some issues at the end I couldn't quite export the game, but I still had a lot of fun learning unreal engine in a month and would recommend that you learn UE as well if you like game dev.

Def should come back to this in the future. Such good potential
-
as someone who has been trying to learn ue5 for a few months, your progress is amazing, keep going! edit: for anyone looking for good learning resources, the official unreal docs are actually amazing
-
You know I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by how quickly you picked up UE or your commentary skills haha
-
The first thing you should do when starting a project is build it, then do daily builds. It's WAY easier to figure out what's wrong before making weeks of progress.
-
such a cool idea to have fixed poses for the enemies instead of animations!
-
I love this channel. The production quality is what you would expect from million subscriber channels.
-
great video! really engaging and interesting even though I don't do game development at all. also this is a really cool concept for a game I hope you end up going back to it
-
you deserve more love from youtube.. Sharing, wish you the best
-
Dude! Orange box moves! That's insane, I spent 3 hours and I'm not even close. The basic actor is a lousy cylinder
-
Most games can be developed without delving into C++. Blueprints offer extensive capabilities, performing tasks nearly as efficiently as C++. C++ becomes essential primarily for tackling advanced or lower-level concepts.
-
You could use unrealCLR or angel script although you would then get cut out of cutting edge tech like Mass entity
-
Welcome the bare witness about Dunning Kruger effect. Well done gentlemen, you learnt Unreal in 1 month.
-
Haha, you're not alone in the Unreal failing to export the game. I've had to troubleshoot that 2 seperate times for an entire day and it still wouldn't launch the game.
-
Nice Video!
-
So if you know Unity, did you make a 3D game in unity too? If now, you should, entertaining and helpful indeed! And very motivating! Good job, really.
-
My experience learning UE was much different. I found documentation & tutorials to be a dime a dozen on just about any topic I needed to know. Godot and Unity both I feel like I had to dig through a sea of irrelevant information that really tilted my motivation.
-
We desperately need our own version of Brackeys for Unreal
-
The problem with the move function is that, you have a really limited control. So i you want your character to move in a certain way it can make it a lot harder
-
Hi I would like a video on interactive games, I like the idea of “heavy rain” I want to build something small and similar
-
Currently what im Good at is Narrative, what im Bad at is 3d modelling and anything Art Related, and what im Relatively capable of is Basic Programming (things like Puzzle Logic and interaction Flags ECT but anything to do with Character Movement,Physics and similar topics Are an absolute headache
