Preface

This book is meant to help you going into the process of creating an iOS game from scratch using one of the best and oldest engines in the industry—Unreal® Engine 4.

Although the engine was made from the beginning to make AAA games for PC and console, it has recently acquired the market of casual and mobile games with lots of power and creative tools.

During the course of this book, we will go in depth into how to make several casual game types that look a lot like the top selling and profiting games on the App Store.
