Eugene Rho
Hello, I’m Eugene Rho, a game developer. With experience at leading companies like NCSOFT and NetEase, where I worked on clients, engines, graphics, and various programming tasks, I now develop new projects at Tencent.
I’ve been using Unreal Engine since version 2.0 and had the opportunity to contribute as an external community developer to Unreal Engine 4.26. Through my journey, I’ve noticed many beginners struggle with programming due to its complexity and the sheer volume of information.
My goal in this class is to simplify the learning process and make programming more approachable and enjoyable for you.

Interview with
Eugene Rho
Question.01
What are your strengths
as a game programmer?
I have been using Unreal Engine since the 2.0 version and built a career in game programming, engines, and graphics by working at various Korean and overseas companies. This class is more than just a tutorial or guide. Drawing upon my real-world experience, I filled this class with basic game programming skills that can also be applied in practice.
Question.02
What kind of skill do you think
is required to use Unreal Engine?
Unreal Engine offers powerful features not just for creating art but also for programming. Despite that, many of the professionals who have used it for a long time—and not to mention beginners—only know very few of its programming features. To create playable software, I highly recommend learning the programming tools offered by Unreal Engine. Plus, it will be a perfect start for those who are new to programming.
Question.03
What are the key points
of this class?
This class explores the A to Z of creating gaming features as well as the basic knowledge required to do so. For learners who love game design, it will be an opportunity to learn the core programming knowledge in fun ways and gain the ability to solve more difficult problems on their own as they work.
Question.04
Who do you recommend
this class to?
This class allows even complete beginners to develop gaming programming skills using Unreal Engine with easy-to-understand and engaging explanations. You will be able to understand why programmers learn such concepts and what kind of problems they face, taking your very first step to becoming a full-fledged game programmer.
