Introduction

Introduction to Blueprinting

• Blueprinting in Unreal Engine

• Visual scripting language

• “Powerful and robust” system for game development

  • Can create entire games using just blueprints
  • Accessible to those without programming experience

• Professional Usage

• Modern game studios utilize both:

  • Blueprint system
  • C++ source code

• Benefits of Combined Approach

  • More powerful games
  • Faster iteration • Less compile times • Hot loading capabilities

• Learning Path Overview

• Will cover:

  • Blueprint editors
  • Available panels and settings
  • Creating gameplay with blueprint tools
  • Understanding blueprint functionality
  • Building custom gameplay tools/actions

Blueprinting serves as a visual coding solution that bridges the gap between non-programmers and game development, while also providing rapid iteration benefits when used alongside traditional programming.
