Creating a new project
In this chapter, we will use the Blueprint First Person template to create our first game project.
The steps to create a new Blueprint First Person Project are as follows:
Launch Unreal Engine 4.
Select the New Project tab.
Select Blueprint and then First Person.
Choose a name and path for the project (or leave it as the default
MyProject
).Click on Create Project.
Ensure that the With Starter Content option is selected.
On creation of the project, the default example level for Blueprint First Person will load. The following screenshot shows how the default level looks:
Using the preset project type with the example level, the first thing you'll probably want to do is run the level and see what the default game level contains.
