Whole Tomato recently held a webinar for Visual Assist, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about game development! If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re thinking of doing this as a hobby or as a potential career path, this may serve as a great introduction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the presentation, VAX lead developer, Chris Gardner, takes you through the steps of coding a modified powerup into a shooter game using Visual Studio and the Unreal Editor.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Chris gives you a concrete idea of what games look like under the hood and how to set expectations before you get into actual game development. He also demonstrates in detail an important concept in Unreal coding\u00e2\u20ac\u201dreferencing blueprints in C++ code.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve summarized the most important takeaways from Chris\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presentation below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
