When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

This hands-on course guides learners through the essential and intermediate stages of gameplay system development using Unreal Engine’s visual scripting system—Blueprints. Across four comprehensive modules, participants will progress from foundational Blueprint techniques to the creation of interactive, data-driven mechanics that drive gameplay experiences.

Learners will begin by identifying core Blueprint components and configuring project environments. They will then construct object and character logic such as directional input, player movement, sprinting, zoom, and projectiles. The course advances into crafting visual feedback systems by designing UI interfaces, binding variables for dynamic stat tracking, and regulating player behavior through resource constraints like stamina and ammo. Finally, learners will design and execute win condition logic, culminating in the ability to evaluate gameplay states and trigger game-ending events through Blueprint scripting. Throughout the course, students will apply core concepts to create a responsive first-person gameplay experience, integrating interactive elements that reinforce player feedback, control flow, and progression logic—all without writing a single line of code.

Module details

This module introduces learners to the foundational principles of Unreal Engine’s Blueprint system, focusing on intermediate concepts essential for game logic construction. Students will explore the interface, initialize project environments, and develop simple yet functional Blueprints. By the end of this module, learners will have a structured understanding of setting up, organizing, and extending Blueprint Actors to support gameplay mechanics.

This module introduces learners to the fundamental mechanics of object movement and character control in Unreal Engine using Blueprints. It focuses on directional logic, axis input handling, speed manipulation, and the configuration of a first-person character blueprint. Learners will gain practical experience designing interactive actors, applying frame-consistent motion, and configuring player-centric control systems.

This module focuses on implementing combat systems and user interface (UI) mechanics using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint system. Learners will develop interactive player actions like sprinting and zooming, set up projectile behavior, and create objectives tracking. Additionally, they will design and integrate gameplay UI elements such as health bars and player stats using Widget Blueprints. By the end of the module, students will have experience building responsive, visual feedback systems connected to player input and in-game events.

This module introduces learners to advanced gameplay logic involving statistical tracking, gameplay constraints, and end-condition systems using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint scripting. Learners will create dynamic counters (such as ammo and enemy stats), enforce resource-based mechanics (like stamina and ammo usage), and implement win condition menus that respond to in-game logic. The focus is on real-time data binding, player feedback, and responsive end-game triggers for a complete gameplay loop.
