Overview of this book

Unreal Engine is a popular game engine used by developers for building high-end 2D and 3D games. This book is a practical guide designed to help you get started with Unreal Engine 4 and confidently develop interactive games. You’ll begin with a quick introduction to the Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) ecosystem. Next, you’ll learn how to create Blueprints and C++ code to define your game's functionality. As you progress, you’ll cover the core systems of UE4 such as Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG), Animation Blueprints, and behaviour trees to further build on your game development knowledge. The concluding chapters will then help you learn how to use replication to create multiplayer games. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with UE4 and have developed the skills you need to use the framework for developing and deploying robust and intuitive games.

Summary

We've covered a lot in this chapter, and I hope I've cleared up any confusion you've had over the way Blueprints are used. As you can see, they are an incredibly powerful tool, and by browsing the nodes in the right-click menu, you can see that practically everything you want to do can be done in Blueprints as an alternative to traditional code.

You can quite easily create entire games using nothing but Blueprint code. In the next chapter, however, we will discuss adding C++ code to a Blueprint project for those rare instances when Blueprint alone is not enough.
