How to Make a Game in UE4 Blueprints: Main Menu and Save Game
Welcome to a tutorial series for making a game in UE4 blueprints. The goal is to have all the basic elements in place, which you can then expand on. Today we're looking at how to create a main menu system with saving to/loading from slot. We cover creating a basic main menu with UMG and Widget Blueprints, the save game functions, and using the GameInstance to handle saving game data to disk. This is part one of a larger multi-part series on basic gameplay systems and in the following weeks we will additionally cover level switching, pickups, and scoring.
