Experience in other game design/coding classes (Unity & Unreal) strongly recommended. CLASS SUMMARY In this interactive and hands-on course, students will journey through the entire game development process using Unreal Engine - the same game engine behind Fortnite, Rocket League, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Kingdom Hearts III and so much more! This is professional - AND FREE - software. Level design, physics, blueprints, music and sound, working with 3D models and beginning to code with Blueprints and C++ are just some of the amazing topics this class will cover. Students will be guided through the entire game development process. Students will be encouraged to be as creative and original as possible throughout the entire course. What differentiates STEAM K-12 courses from others is that this course focuses on the digital arts as well: Visual Arts, Graphic Design, Audio & Music Production, Reading and Creative Writing. Intro to Game Design & Coding With UNITY Engine is truly a STEAM (Science Technology Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) course. By the end of this class, students will have a solid foundation for how to create their own video game and play them on , but also be able to play any desktop computer (Windows or Mac) and learn how to publish to other platforms. CLASS OVERVIEW Week 1: Welcome to Unreal / Engine Basics & Overview Week 2: First Person Adventure Game (Overview of Tools & Blueprint, Design 3D Models, Texture Mapping) Week 3: First Person Adventure Game (Unreal Marketplace, 3D Model Animation & Textures, Physics & Game Objectives) Week 4: First Person Adventure Game (Music & Ambience, Target Platforms, Completing the FPS Project) Week 5: Unreal Racing (Overview of Tools & Blueprint, Racing Game Design 3D Models, Texture Mapping, Unreal Marketplace) Week 6: Unreal Racing (Physics & Speed, Collision Detection, Controls, Ambience) Week 7: Coding & Scripting with C++ Class 8: Coding Wrap-Up, Project Share Outs, Github, Deploying & Finishing Projects

Supply List
UNREAL ENGINE RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS - Desktop PC or Mac. Windows 7 64-bit or Mac OS X 10.9. 2 or later. Quad-core Intel or AMD processor, 2.5 GHz or faster. NVIDIA GeForce 470 GTX or AMD Radeon 6870 HD series card or higher. 8 GB RAM. (16GB STRONGLY RECOMMENDED) NO WINDOWS 7, CHROMEBOOKS (they are not compatible) !!!!!!!! Pre-2016 MacBooks with under 16GB of RAM will have a very difficult time running. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS To install Unity, it is a two step process. PART 1 First you must download Epic Games Launcher (https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/). Once it is downloaded, open the Epic Games Launcher to Install. PART 2 Once you’ve installed the Epic Games Launcher, open the program and go to the “UE4 Section” tab on the top left side. Then click the yellow “Install Unreal Engine” button on the right. Once this step is finished, Unreal Engine will be installed. If you have any issues with this please let us know. A lot of this will be reviewed in the first class, to ensure that all students’ Unreal Engine’s are properly installed and functional for the rest of the class. Please be aware that Unreal Engine is a professional software suite (that's great for kids!) but it does require a strong computer. The more RAM (16GB MINIMUM) and the faster the hard drive (SSD's) the better it'll perform and the happier our learners will be!
