What is a game engine?

A game engine is a software that helps developers to create environments using a framework and multiple toolsets. Game engines have multiple settings and configurations that developers use to create a realistic environment that can be interacted with by the players. Game engines are useful to any creator because they are able to imagine a game and be able to create it using any game engine software and render all sorts of models that they think of. They also create sounds that fit the environment of the game, animate movement for characters and use physics to add realism to the game. 

Reflection on my experience of Unreal 5

Unreal engine is completely new for me so it was overwhelming when I saw the interface. I created a third person game example and the first thing I tried to figure out was how to move around and how the camera movement works. The movement was a lot more different than Maya but some features were the same. I played the game and moved around and got familiar with how moving the character works. Afterwards, I messed around with the objects that were around and started changing it's material and duplicating it.
