About the Author
Nitish Misra wanted a career in the game industry ever since he was a child. In late

2014, he was one step closer to realizing that dream after he completed his BA (Hons)
in game design and production management from Abertay University. He is currently
working in a start-up based in New Delhi, designing games on mobiles and working
toward breaking into the game industry.
His areas of interest include concept development, systems design, and level design.
With 3 plus years of experience in Unreal Development Kit, Unreal Engine 4 was the
most logical go-to option for him, and he has been using it for the past 1 year,
experimenting with the various features offered by UE4, to see what can be achieved
using it.
First of all, I would like to thank my parents for supporting me in writing this book.
Juggling both work and the book was no easy task, and their support really motivated
me. I would like to thank my friends who helped me while writing the book.
I would like to thank my tutors from the university. It was their guidance that gave me
the confidence and knowledge to write this book.
Finally, I would like to thank Packt Publishing for giving me the opportunity to author
this guide. Writing this book was a great experience.
