Expanding Upon the Unreal Engine 4 Game Templates

The Unreal engine comes with plenty of templates to get you started on your game projects. From VR to 2D games, you can develop a working prototype in a matter of minutes to hours.
In this workshop, you will be able to expand your unreal engine project by modifying templates that come packaged with the Unreal Engine by understanding how they are put together, modifying its content, and adding other templates to the project.
