How to Learn?

Start from the Mastering Unreal Engine learning path and choose any game genre learning path afterwards.

What You Will be Able to Achieve?

If you follow a complete learning path from start to the end, you will learn all the programming knowledge and game development skills you need to make the game of that genre completely on your own. That means you can leave tutorials behind and become a truly independent Unreal Engine game developer.

However, keep in mind that the goal of First Game Academy is not to build a complete commercial game for you and that's your job to accomplish that.
