Quod Soler · Unreal Engine training for teams · 11 shipped games in 10 years

Unreal Engine training built on your codebase, not on slides.

Live remote workshops for up to 10 engineers, taught from your game by a lead who has shipped 11 titles. The goal is a team where the hard questions stop routing through one person, and ability #40 takes a day instead of a week.

Is this your team right now?

Did the team inherit a GAS setup nobody fully owns, and every new ability is copy-paste archaeology?
Are your seniors spending their days answering the same five Unreal questions instead of shipping?
Did the last two hires come from Unity, and they are writing Unity code in Unreal syntax?
Is there one person who understands the combat code, and everyone quietly hopes they never leave?
Has the team watched the tutorials and read the docs, and the codebase still does not look like the tutorials?

If you nodded at any of these, this workshop was built for exactly that.

How it works ( the preparation happens inside your codebase )

You are not booking a slide deck. Before the workshop I spend a full day inside your repo, and the exercises come from your game, not from a template project.

Scoping call ( 20 minutes, free )

Twenty minutes for me to understand your team, your codebase and what you want it to get better at, and to tell you honestly whether the workshop is the right tool. Not every team is a fit; if yours is not, I say so on the call and point you somewhere better.

Preparation ( a full day of mine, inside your codebase )

I read your repo the way I would for a paid diagnostic: where the architecture fights the engine, where the frame goes, which habits the team learned from the code it inherited. ( This is the part that makes the workshop worth more than a video course. ) The examples and exercises come out of this day.

The workshop ( live, remote, recorded )

Two 3-hour blocks per day with a long break. Up to 10 engineers in the room, hands on, questions welcome mid-sentence. It is a working session, not a lecture, on purpose.

The follow-up ( written, plus 30 days of questions )

Within 48 hours you get the follow-up document: every question that came up during the sessions, answered in writing, plus the ranked list of issues I found in your codebase during preparation. For the next 30 days the team can send me questions by email, answered within one working day.

What your team walks away with

The recording. Every session, yours to keep and to onboard the next hire with.
The follow-up document. Every question asked, answered in writing, plus what I found in your codebase during the preparation day. It is a diagnostic of your codebase in its own right.
The exercises. The project or branch we worked in, with solutions, so the material can be re-run on the next cohort.
30 days of questions. By email, answered within one working day, so the workshop survives contact with the following sprint.

The modules ( we pick together at scoping )

GAS that survives content. Attributes, effects, ability lifecycles, prediction, and the setup decisions that determine whether ability #40 takes a day or a week.
Combat systems. Hit detection, hitboxes and hurtboxes, i-frames, animation-driven state, and why most feel problems are actually architecture problems.
Performance. Unreal Insights end to end: tick discipline, frame budgets, the usual UE5 suspects, and how to profile a real build instead of arguing about one.
C++ and Blueprint architecture. Where the boundary goes, module structure, hard references, and the iteration-time tax your team stops paying every day.
Multiplayer gameplay. Replication for gameplay systems, prediction, and the bugs that only happen with real latency.

Two modules fill one day well. A two-day workshop fits three comfortably, four at a push.

Who this is for ( and who it is not for )

This is for you if:

You run a team of 2 to 20 engineers, mid-production in Unreal, and the codebase has outgrown what the tutorials cover.
You are onboarding engineers coming from Unity and want them writing Unreal-shaped code before the habits set.
You are an outsourcing studio standardizing how your Unreal teams work across projects.
You are a lead who wants the team to stop routing every hard question through one person.

This is not for you if:

You are one person. ( The newsletter is for you, and it is free. )
There is no code yet. The prepared-project variant exists, but the price buys the most when there is something real to teach from.
You want an inspirational keynote. This is a working session, on purpose.

Who teaches it

I have shipped 11 games in ten years, on AAA and indie budgets, with teams from two people to two hundred. My home ground is combat systems, the Gameplay Ability System ( GAS ), C++ architecture and performance.

I have given lectures at Ramon Llull and Pompeu Fabra universities, and 950+ Unreal developers read my weekly newsletter on GAS, combat and performance. The workshop is that same material, taught from your codebase instead of the general case.

The price, and what happens after

One day is $4,500. Two days are $7,500. Flat, per team, up to 10 engineers in the room. No per-seat math, no quote at the end.

Two days of ten engineers' time already costs you more than the workshop does. The preparation day is what makes those two days pay.

A 50% deposit books the dates; the balance is invoiced after delivery.

Most teams stop after the 30 days, and that is fine: the follow-up document is written so the team can keep going without me. If you want me to stay involved, that is my advisory retainer, $2,800 per month: I join your Slack or Discord, unlimited questions with answers within one working day, one call a month, cancel monthly.

What the price includes

The preparation day inside your codebase
Two ( or four ) 3-hour live blocks, up to 10 engineers
The recording of every session
The exercises, with solutions
The follow-up document, within 48 hours
30 days of questions by email

Your side's total effort: about an hour, plus attendance.

The first-break guarantee

The first break comes 90 minutes in. If by then you think this is not worth your team's time, say so: we stop, and I refund the deposit in full.

I can offer this because by the time we start, the material is already about your game, not about mine.

Questions people ask before booking

Epic's courses are free and Udemy is $20. Why does this cost $4,500?

Because those teach the general case to individuals, and they are good at it: your team should use them, they cost nothing. The expensive gap is the specific case. Your GAS setup, your frame budget, your inherited decisions. The preparation day exists to aim every hour of the workshop at that gap, and no video course can do it.

Can you really train on our codebase? What about the NDA?

Yes, and the NDA is signed before I see anything. Read-only access is enough. If you cannot share code at all, I run the workshop on my prepared UE5 project and fold in everything you can describe; it works, it is just one step less specific, and I will price that honestly at scoping.

How many people can join?

Ten in the room, on purpose: past that it stops being a working session. The recording is for everyone else. If you have more than fifteen engineers, we split cohorts; ask me at scoping.

What about timezone and language?

I am in Barcelona ( CET / CEST ). Two 3-hour blocks a day line up fine with US mornings. The sessions can be in English, Spanish or Catalan; the written follow-up is in English unless you ask otherwise.

Which engine versions do you cover?

Most of my current work is UE5, and I have shipped on UE4. The material ( architecture, GAS, tick discipline, reference chains, frame cost ) reads the same in both. On a heavily modified engine, say so at scoping and I will tell you honestly what fits.

What does my team need to prepare?

About an hour in total: repo access, a build that runs, and one sentence per attendee answering "what do you wish you understood better?". I take it from there.

How does the invoice work?

Deposit at booking, balance after delivery, both with a proper invoice from a registered business in Spain. It is a standard business invoice, the kind a studio expenses without a conversation. For clients outside the EU ( including the US ) there is no European VAT on top. EU businesses with a VAT number usually fall under reverse charge, and Spanish clients have IVA added on the invoice.

We have one specific fire right now, not a training need.

Then start with the 90-minute diagnostic instead: $350, I study the project first, findings in writing. Teams often do that first and book the workshop once the fire is out.

One team. Your codebase. Two days that change what your seniors spend their days on.

You already know which module your team needs first. Tell me about the team, pick a time, and we will find out in twenty minutes whether this workshop is built for it.
