A comprehensive guide with coverage on AudioFX, Particle system, shaders, sequencers, and the latest features of Unreal 4.19 that will take your game development skills to the next level
To make a basic combat game from scratch, you will quickly override existing UE4 classes, and add and implement simple C++ functions while running and building them. These are all discussed as a short summary for new developers and as a quick refresher for experienced developers. Next, you will build a combat player character with expanded controls, create logic for a character, swap weapons, attack and move, bridge over scene changes and transitions, retain data between scenes, and manage the scene-change process.
You will then build an intelligent enemy AI and add physics based particles for weapon impacts. You will also get acquainted with cutting-edge features such as Volumetric Lightmaps for precomputed lighting, and Atmospheric and Volumetric Fog, to build advanced visuals in our ongoing GitHub project.
Moving on, you will explore the tools required to build an in-game cut-scene for a more professional gameplay experience and story direction.
Along the way, you will implement a solid game UI, including writing a full in-game load and save system that will enable players to resume their game from any point. You will also prepare, build, and work on VR and AR taking them from editor to real-world, building two new projects one in each of these brand new areas of UE4 and integrate classes from the main project into AR!
By the end of the book, you will have mastered all major UE features and will be able to bring self-imagined games to life through Unreal Engine 4.18+.
This book is for game developers who want to build high-performance games with amazing UIs. Experience with C++ is required and some knowledge of working with Unreal Engine 4 would be an advantage.
Matt Edmonds has been a lover of games for as long as he can remember, and a professional maker of PC, console, and mobile games since summer 2000. Having graduated with a degree in physics and mathematics, and while doing graduate studies in computer engineering, it became clear all of Matt's free time was going toward learning the technical and creative skills to build amazing 3D games. After making games on his own for around a year, he finally got a break after showing his work making a real-time strategy game in an open source 3D engine with Surreal Software and has never looked back: he now leads teams in creating amazing titles across generations of hardware. With a love of Unreal and 7 years of professional experience with it now, this book is a testament to that passion.

What you will learn
- The fundamentals of a combat-based game that will let you build and work all other systems from the core gameplay: the input, inventory, A.I. enemies, U.I., and audio
- Manage performance tools and branching shaders based on platform capabilities in the Material Editor
- Explore scene or level transitions and management strategies
- Improve visuals using UE4 systems such as Volumetric Lightmaps, Precomputed Lighting, and Cutscenes
- Implement audio-to-animation timelines and trigger them from visual FX
- Integrate Augmented Reality into a game with UE4's brand new ARKit and ARCore support
- Perform almost any game logic needed via Blueprint Visual Scripting, and know when to implement it in Blueprint as opposed to C++
