Unreal Engine 5 Game Development with C++: Learn Unreal Engine 5 and C++ Game Programming, Build Advanced Gameplay Systems, and Publish Professional 3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798268884067)

Learn Unreal Engine 5 and C++ to Build, Optimize, and Publish Professional 3D Games

This book is a complete, project-based guide to Unreal Engine 5 game development with C++. It shows you how to design gameplay systems, implement AI, manage animation, and publish polished games for PC, mobile, and console. Every chapter walks you through practical development tasks that mirror professional workflows used in studios today.

You will learn how to:
- Install and configure Unreal Engine 5 and Visual Studio for C++ development.
- Create player characters, movement, and responsive camera systems.
- Connect Blueprints with C++ for flexible and efficient scripting.
- Build health, scoring, and inventory systems with data-driven logic.
- Develop AI using controllers, behavior trees, and sensing systems.
- Use physics, animation blueprints, and state machines for realistic character motion.
- Design UMG interfaces, HUDs, and menus bound to live gameplay data.
- Optimize performance, reduce build size, and package your game for multiple platforms.
- Manage your project with Git or Perforce and prepare for monetization.

Who This Book Is For:
This book is written for intermediate to advanced developers, technical artists, and students who already understand programming fundamentals and want to take their skills into professional Unreal Engine 5 and C++ game development.
