This was so amazingly useful! I'm completely new to Unreal Engine and decided to take it up as a hobby. And so far I am having a blast! This beginner guide was so incredibly helpful, I finally have a solid understanding of the raw basics.

I gotta say.. I'm only halfway through the video and its extremely informative. Everything has been explained so well! Fantastic vid!

[NS_Miata]

I need to say that the fact this is a free course is so awesome! I followed the whole tutorial and can only say that your teaching is on point. I really appreciate the effort put into this. If one day I am more advanced, I would definitely follow the paid course as well!

I am completely new to UE, this video has taken me from not knowing what I'm looking at when I opened the engine, to feeling confident about using it and learning more. Amazing video, thank you for uploading it.

I can’t thank you enough for adding subtitles. I’m not great at processing words so this is a god send. Thank you!

I checked all of the tutorials, and yours is the best. Your voice is clear, your explanation is slow, and your speed is easy to follow, ... wonderful tutorial indeed
