Unreal Engine 5: Building a Racing Game from Scratch

Creating a high-fidelity racing game is a milestone for many aspiring developers, but the complexity of modern engines can feel overwhelming. This course breaks down the process into clear, manageable steps to help you build your first drivable experience through written instruction and practical logic. You will transition from a beginner to a creator capable of designing functional vehicle mechanics and immersive city environments. By focusing on the core principles of game development, you will gain the skills to construct a complete racing loop with timers, checkpoints, and realistic handling. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamentals of the Unreal Engine 5 interface and core navigation - Learn to rig and configure vehicle models using Chaos Physics for realistic handling - Design expansive city environments using modern lighting and geometry systems - Create game logic for timers, checkpoints, and lap systems using Blueprints - Apply texturing and material techniques to enhance environmental realism - Practice troubleshooting and refining vehicle movement for a smooth player experience The material begins with foundational setup and vehicle integration before moving into environment construction and logic implementation. You will explore the professional workflow of a developer, from initial rigging in Blender to the final polish of the game loop within the engine. This course is designed for beginners interested in game development and vehicle mechanics; no prior experience with Unreal Engine or programming is required.
