Blueprint Quest, Edition 2

Picks up where Edition 1 ends. This is the stuff that turns working Blueprints into a real game: the gameplay framework, animation, game feel, data-driven design, smarter AI, multiplayer basics and shipping.

What's inside

• 58 quests across 10 worlds, each with step-by-step instructions, a clear "done when" check, and tips for when you get stuck
• A boss project at the end of every world that uses everything you just learned (10 in total)
• XP, levels, badges and streaks, plus target dates for every quest based on the pace you pick
• Comes with a Blueprint sandbox: wire up nodes and press Play to see what happens
• Walkthroughs you can collapse once you don't need the hand-holding

How it works

It's one HTML file. Double-click it and it opens in your browser. No account, no install, no subscription, and it works offline. Progress saves in your browser, and a save code in Settings lets you back it up or move it to another computer.

The blueprint sandbox is a simplified example for trying ideas. The actual quests happen in Unreal Engine.
