As with the other "24 hours" titles this book is divided in to 24 lessons. Actually most of them will take more than an hour but they chapters are still extremely well organized/structured and they are as succinct as they possibly can be. The learning curve is very gradual to begin with but increases a little towards the second half of the book. If you have already made a game using Blueprint and Unreal Engine then this book won't offer you much but if you are completely new to both then you will probably make fast progress with this book.

• Handle new projects and work with the Unreal Engine Gameplay Framework
