ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses Unreal Engine 4’s project templates. Unreal Engine project templates will automatically create the basic functionality required for that template’s gameplay. The choice of templates are quite diverse, which gives game developers using Unreal Engine 4 the ability to design games from 2D side scrollers, to third person shooters, tabletop card games, even to racing games. A first person camera is one that is controlled from a first person perspective. Basically, the player experiences the game’s world through the eyes of the character, and any input the game receives will control the character/camera directly. A side scroller camera is a type of camera that moves left and right, and views the main character from the side.
