Our roadmap is organized into key thematic departments, where each module responds to a logical and professional progression within Unreal Engine. From fundamentals to technical specializations, this modular structure allows you to progress by levels, always focused on real projects.
  • Blueprints and visual logic fundamentals

    Learn from scratch how Blueprints work in Unreal Engine. We will work on logic, macros, events, functions and real practices. Ideal to start structuring systems without touching C++.

  • C++ Fundamentals for Unreal Engine

    Master C++ integration with Unreal from the ground up. This module teaches you how to write clean code, connect to Blueprints, understand the actor lifecycle, and much more.

  • Version control with Git

    Learn how to use Git in a practical way with Unreal. We will teach you from first commits to professional branch flows. Includes real examples, `.gitignore` configuration, and teamwork.

  • Materials and shading in Unreal

    Explores from the basics of material creation to the use of Material Functions, parameters, instances and optimization. Ideal for technical artists and programmers who want to understand the shading system.

  • PGX Core - Modular base framework

    The technical heart of the entire academy. It includes saving systems, audio, logs, configuration, subsystems, hybrid C++ and Blueprints architecture, basic animations and camera control. Everything you need to scale projects from a professional base.

  • PGX Shooter - First and Third Person Shooter

    Modular shooting system, dynamic cameras, configurable weapons, recoil, HUD and animations. Perfect for understanding the logic of shooters and how to build them from scratch with PGX as a base.

  • PGX Puzzle - Interaction and Environment Logic

    Pressure mechanics, combination, logic gates, physical interaction and connected logic. Ideal for exploration games, puzzles or educational experiences.

  • PGX Adventure - Third Person Adventure Framework

    Includes parkour, vault, melee combat, contextual interaction and complex animations. A solid foundation for narrative or third-person action games.

  • Modularity and scalable patterns

    Learn how to design decoupled, reusable and scalable systems following modern software architecture principles. We will cover the hierarchical organization of classes, the use of interfaces, functional components, custom drivers and subsystems to distribute logic in a clean and extensible way. This section lays the groundwork for projects that require long-term evolution, maintenance by multiple teams or adaptation to new functionality without compromising stability.

  • Data Assets and system configuration

    We deepen in the advanced use of PrimaryDataAssets as the core of the data configuration for gameplay, enemies, objects, skills, animation parameters and more. This approach allows modifying behaviors and variables without the need to recompile or modify logic in real time. In addition, patterns are established to link Data Assets with dynamic systems such as inventories, decision trees and menus, allowing for a robust and editable data flow by designers without programming intervention.

  • Refactoring and code evolution

    One of the pillars of professional environments is the ability to scale or transform an already functional system without breaking the overall flow of the project. Here we teach how to migrate systems originally created in Blueprints to solid C++ implementations, respecting their architecture, protecting backwards compatibility, and taking full advantage of both languages. We also work with version control to apply good practices for safe refactoring.

  • Networking and client-server architecture

    We explore how to structure systems that work properly in multiplayer environments. From basic replication and actor authority to asynchronous synchronization strategies, server-side validation, and decoupled structures for shared state. We also explain key concepts such as Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), network relevance, and how to build a robust interaction system without coupling it directly to a single gameplay layer.

  • Scalable AI systems and advanced behavior

    Beyond basic Behavior Trees, we explore how to build modular artificial intelligence systems, controllable from Data Assets and capable of adapting to multiple enemy types or NPCs with shared logic. We will see how to integrate perceptions, contextual states, dynamic Blackboard, combat logic, evasion and hierarchical decisions. We also discuss how to connect these systems with animations, visual feedback and global game event logic.

  • Advanced Gameplay Systems

    We entered into the creation of complex and emergent gameplay systems. From dynamic progression systems, buffs/debuffs, persistent states, skills with cooldowns, to mission logic and conditional events. This specialization focuses on building mechanics that connect multiple actors, data and contexts to generate rich and coherent experiences, always respecting a decoupled and scalable architecture.

  • Engine and editor customization

    We explore how to extend the Unreal Engine editor to create your own tools, customize workflows, and implement internal utilities. You will work with Blutilities, Custom Editor Widgets, Details Panel extensions, and tools to automate repetitive workflows. Ideal for teams that want to accelerate their production or create custom tools for designers, artists and testers.

  • Performance, analysis and optimization

    We study how to identify bottlenecks and apply advanced optimization techniques on CPU, GPU, memory and network. We use tools such as Unreal Insights, Stat Commandsand custom profiles. We also cover practices such as virtual texturing, occlusion culling, LOD management, draw call reduction and Blueprints vs C++ impact analysis. All of this focused on projects that scale to various devices or seek professional performance.

  • Automation, testing and quality control

    We go deep into the creation of automated tests, functional tests, Unit Tests in C++ and visual validations in large projects. You will learn how to set up test pipelines, automate processes with Python or Blueprints, and even generate automatic builds for testing environments. It is a key part for studios looking for reliability in continuous production, error reduction and quality control in long iterations.

  • Backend, external services and online integration

    This specialization introduces you to the connection with external services: databases, authentication servers, statistics, achievements or monetization. We work with REST APIs, Webhooks, and tools such as PlayFab, Firebase or proprietary solutions. We also cover topics such as cross-platform authentication, session management and synchronization with dedicated servers or persistent online environments.
