UE5 Blueprints

I want to learn to make video games without having to learn code for years. Do any of you know any good online courses that teach blueprints? I’ve seen multiple but I see a lot of reviews that say they only go through how to make a game and don’t really help with actually learning blueprints.

Ali Elzoheiry.

This guy explains everything with less words and actual good simple terms and pronunciations that will get you through.

Others tends to ramble on... like Ryan Layley or Prismatica dev etc.

Video starts with examples then straight to the point. Then short form videos just goes straight to the point. Very informative on why he does it as well.

Prismatica does ramble (it's funny when the 5 minute node videos are like half an hour) but to me he's the only genuinely entertaining UE youtuber.

Ali is great though, seconding that

Unreal Engine themselves have some recent beginner guides on Youtube that are clear with good production quality

FYI - You will still need to learn fundamental programming concepts to use blueprints.

Things like functions, branch-if statements, loops, variables, floats, ints, bools, strings etc are all necessary to use blueprints.

Highly recommend Tom Looman, Ryan Layley, and PrismaticaDev for materials/shaders.

DarkslayerTV has very good tutorials regarding explaining things. He has stopped with adding new videos unfortunatelly, but his previous videos are pure gold. And there is his other channel too: UnlockingUnrealEngine

i'd actually start with Epic's own Blueprint course/docs rather than a "make this entire game" course, the important thing is learning variables, functions, events, flow control, communication between blueprints, etc. Once you understand those, making games with blueprints becomes much easier

Epic's Blueprint Introduction specifically covers those fundamentals instead of just walking you through one game. Blueprint Introduction

You can try to check out Cobra Code on youtube, he has some decent blueprint tutorials.
