My name is Adam Chandler and this channel is all about the ins and outs of Game Development. I create game-dev tutorials using Unity and Unreal with a programming emphasis, but not exclusive to programming! I also enjoy talking about Sound Design and Aesthetic as well, so be on the lookout for those videos. We'll explore a good mix of basic, intermediate and advanced concepts in these videos, though I always try to build even the advanced concepts from the basics.
The goal of this channel is to give an in depth breakdown of concepts while we look at practical examples. I believe it's much better for videos to explain things clearly as we go, rather than just be a quick list of buttons to click. This means that the videos may be a bit longer... but that's because they're packed with content!
You can find my longer tutorial topic series in the Playlists Tab, so feel free to start browsing!

Build a Better Music Player in Unreal 5
Let's build a system that gives us more capability for playing music tracks, including: crossfade, fade variation, persistence across maps, easy access, pause/resume, and fade outs. We'll build it from the ground up and test it with a few music tracks to make sure it works as intended. We'll also use Interfaces, functions with inputs, and more!

Temporary Powerups Using Interfaces in Unreal
zhlédnutí 427Před 7 měsíci
In this video we learn how to make temporary powerups while learning a bit on how and why to use Interfaces. We'll create a speed boost powerup, but show how we can make different level actors speed boost in different ways... the modular way. The concepts should apply to any actors, but if you want to see how we created the ball pawn used in the video, check out my other Roll A Ball in Unreal s...

Thanks for the upload. Clear, and the right pace to understand, subbed. Great tutorial.
Thanks so much for making this series. Really enjoy your teaching style. Hope to see more content from you.
Thanks man!
A guy was admitted to the hospital with eight plastic horses in his stomach. His condition is stable.
Did you hear about the mathematician who was afraid of negative numbers? He stops at nothing to avoid them.
What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary? A Thesaurus.
thanks! This series really help
very helpful, thank you!
at 38:21 why not use the event "On Took Damage" in the details panel of your health component? is there a reason we have to bind ?
It's been awhile so I'm not positive, but I think it's because I want to hook into a custom Killed event, not a general OnDamaged event. I was prob showing different ways to hook into events throughout the video
thanks ! i solved this once by using a sound attenuation with occlusion and using an occlusion trace/collision channel named "SoundBlockingVolume" with an according Volume class. but i will try this approach, hope it works as good
I don't understand the level blueprint part of this. I think that part is missing from the playlist 🤔
How can you do this in UE5 for objects spawned into the scene?
I am a programmer and used to develop web projects. But suddenly I got interested in game development; but I needed the basics to understand first that I found on your videos. Thank you for such tutorials
Awesome. Very helpful, thank you 🙏
Great video! Helped us a ton. Curious how you would approach having the character move into the background on a different axis, such as moving around a corner to change the direction of the forward vector.
Thanks so much for your vid on this subject! I’m super new at coding in unreal and I am trying to make a 2D side scroller game. Your setup looks like a good way to negate other animations and play particles in the correct place instead, but how can I make it play a flipbook instead of a niagra particle system? I’m trying to set up a death animation triggered by a separate actor collision box (like what you built) as well as a unique animation when the player presses a specific button (like an attack animation). I need help! I like your videos a lot! you are very easy to follow along with.
man, thank you! The fact that you explain everything that you do is perfect for a beginer
thanks for this, can you add multiple audio cue's to one trigger? I need to trigger a conversation between three men from three seperate audio cues.
Finaly someone got this!
This channel is gold, thanks a lot for all the info ! if you ever have paid content happy to support.

Hello! i have an issue where when i select the MainMenu map and hit play and press the play button i cant move my character in the Third Person map, cant look or anything do anyone know what this is?
Hi. First. Fantastic series, just have to say. Really appreciate it. :) Second, I have understood (for the most part) everything you've taught. But it's odd. I don't know what's happening. @26:10 I have full this part step-by-step, over and over, for over 30 minutes.. doing it, re-doing it.. over and over.. for but some odd reason, my ball pawn still visually rotates just as fast as before. And I do not know what to do next. I've asked multiple AIs.
Thank you so much for this tutorial playlist. I've used countless others focusing on the same game and this is above and beyond. In terms of explaining to beginners to implementing several examples that's clean enough to build upon.
Finally, a tutorial that shows how to setup a proper music system! The use of best practices and the detailed explanations make it a five star tutorial. Thanks to the author for making this video!
This deserves so many more views, very useful! Thank you!
how did the vertical box make the text invisible ( 21:51 )
Amazing.... Thanks for this ..
Great tutorial! Is there a way to get the percentage to the health bar without using a bind? I try to do it by just getting the percentage through a variable but can never get the progress bar to show up on the list. Edit: neverminded! I jumped the gun and didn't watch it all the way though, but I guess what I'm trying to do with it is going to require me to do more research.
Muito bom !!! você é incrível
Thats cool. Really nice done and a good explanation. I got a question here. How can a prevent my Char to sprint backwards or sideways ? Regards
The only request I have is make a video on an interactive bounce pad for example it says “press E key to interact” then that launches the player
Loved this series. Coming from Unity it helped me get the basics down. Thanks for the help!
Hey, do you know why the second method isn't working with the VRPawn blueprint with teleportation. Is there anything else to be aware of?
Hey ◡̈ Do you know why the second method isn't working with die VRPawn Blueprint with teleportation. Is there anything more to be aware of?
There's another tutorial out here for this that's 11 minutes long and more simple and to the point. if you're going to cover something already covered, at least make it better
Thanks for the feedback. I don't know all of the other tutorials on youtube. Shorter doesn't always mean it's better... I tend to prefer more long form tutorials with more explanations on my channel.
nice!
Never mind I went back and fixed the issue
Great video
