Instructor

Shiroma

Game Designer

Hello, I’m Shiroma, the CEO of Space Onigiri Games. I taught myself game development and now handle every aspect entirely on my own, from 3D computer graphics and sound design to script writing. My representative work, the Shadow Corridor series, was born from that experience.

In this course, I share the complete development process I’ve established through years of trial and error. Whether you’re a novice taking your first step into game creation or are an intermediate developer aiming higher, I hope this course serves as a practical guide to help you bring your ideas to completion.

Meet the Instructor

Question 01

What is the biggest challenge faced by learners studying this field, and how can this class help them overcome it?

I think many beginners find the entry barrier quite high, even though Unreal Engine is free to start with. When you install Unreal Engine and find so many features, it’s hard to know where to begin and how to actually make a game using it. In this course, you can experience the process of creating a game from scratch. This will help you see how to make the kind of game you truly want to create and gain the fundamental technical skills to make your vision a reality.

Question 02

What did you struggle with when studying this field, and what was your strategy to overcome that?

I learned the basics of Unreal Engine from books, but creating my own original game was still very difficult. Since the books only covered the basics, I had to play around with things to learn how to express my own ideas. At the time, I didn’t know what other tools existed outside Unreal Engine, or how to combine them effectively. I researched online and learned a lot through trial and error. There were so many obstacles that I almost gave up, but I learned that facing and overcoming challenges is key to learning.

Question 03

Please share your views on the market potential and future of indie games.

Recently, with more individuals and small teams entering the indie game scene, the market is being flooded with low-priced games, especially the PC market. As AI advances, it has become easier than ever to create images, 3D models, music, and scripts, lowering the barrier to entry for production. However, in reality, many of these games go unnoticed. That’s why it’s crucial to refine your strengths. Whether it’s photorealistic visuals, an emotionally powerful story, outstanding game design or music—anything. Passion and persistence always reach the players, becoming the unique weapon that make your work stand out.

Question 04

Is there anything else you’d like to share with your students?

It might be difficult to master everything taught in this course, but what matters most is knowing what features are available and what they can do. You can always come back and review the videos in the future while working on your own game. If you know what to look for, you can go over it again. Once you can visualize how something can be created, you’ll clearly see the way to get there. That’s the true goal of this course. Nothing would make me happier than if this class served as a stepping stone for your journey into game design.

Class Details

You'll Learn

Basic Unreal Engine Operations

Start by understanding the layout and interface of Unreal Engine. Detailed explanations of the foundational operations that form the backbone of game design will help you reach a level where you can intuitively use the engine.

Programming With Blueprints

Learn the basics of Blueprints, such as variables, functions and flow control. Experimenting with sample projects on what functions are available and what effects they can produce will empower you to turn your creative ideas into reality.

Understanding Object Inheritance

Study the concept of inheritance, which defines parent-child relationships between objects. Understanding this concept will help you manage data efficiently and access information swiftly.

Exploring Unreal Engine Features

Discover which functions are available and how to use them effectively through practical exercises. You’ll develop the creative insight to decide which features to combine in order to build what you want to build.

Practical Implementation With PC Load in Mind

Paying attention to performance is a must for smooth gameplay. Learn practical skills such as efficient design methods for managing PC load and implementing event-driven logic that triggers only when necessary.

Finalization Process

Master the final stages for turning your work into a finished game. You’ll acquire the essential skills to prepare your project for release, from implementing save/load systems and custom options to building the game into a distributable format.
