Presentation
Engineering, architecture, education, medicine, cinema… The editing options offered by Unreal Engine are endless. But, above all, this is an engine developed by videogame creators for videogame creators. Epic Games, its promoters, are behind great titles such as Gears of Wars, Bioshock, Mass Effect or Batman: Arkham Asylum.
So if you are passionate about this sector and want to learn how to develop a video game completely from scratch, Tokio School is the place for you. You will be able to learn the new tools and services of Unreal Engine and get started in the C++ programming language and Blueprints online, at your own pace, and with the support and help of active professionals in the sector. Your imagination is your only limit.

Students' work
Final project Unai Zabala Professional career in Video Game Design
Although it is still in progress, the student’s project aims to be a video game. More specifically a ‘3D fighter’ where there will be unique and eye-catching characters with devastating final attacks. The combat will be very animated, resembling the combat system of the «hack and slash» genre, and with a hand-drawn character design!
