I am currently working on a few unreal engine games as a hobby, but I am also trying to build a community, thus I am creating YouTube tutorials to find others who are interested in game development and design. #unrealengine5 #interfaces #eventdispatchers #tutorial #unrealengine #ue5 #gamedev #softwaredesign #software #designpatterns #cleancode #blueprints #indiegame #indiegamedev
