Unreal FPS Development: Combat, AI & UI Systems

This course empowers learners to design, construct, and finalize a fully functional first-person shooter (FPS) game using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint visual scripting system. Spanning foundational setup to advanced combat logic and UI feedback, the course provides a structured, hands-on pathway for game developers aiming to build immersive and dynamic FPS experiences. Learners will begin by creating a player controller system, including health, armor, and movement mechanics. As the course progresses, they will develop realistic weapon systems, integrate sound and visual effects, and construct reload mechanics and HUD components. The course advances into AI behavior design and game objectives, teaching students how to implement enemy tracking, chase sequences, and mission progress systems. In the final phase, students will assemble UI elements, apply gameplay timers, and integrate polish features such as crosshairs, notifications, and modular weapon switching. By the end of this course, learners will have the capability to evaluate, refine, and deploy a complete FPS gameplay loop, demonstrating professional-level understanding of gameplay logic and player feedback systems in Unreal Engine
