Description
First of all, this course is based on a my commercial game I created.And I recommend to learn this course by using UE5.3 . If you use newer version, some plugins might be not available.This course took me several hundreds of hours to develop, with detailed videos spreading over more than 70 lectures, covering wide scope of modules to create a survivors style game including:Setup paper flipbook animations for player character, 20+ mobs and 2 BOSSES movement56 waves of enemies that increase in difficulty over time with different patterns13 unique roguelike upgradable skills and player character leveling up systemObject pooling framework to handle large number of actors during 20 minutes gameplayUnique skills for BOSSES and 2 types of layer sorting methodsPermanent save-loading system to save progress and shop systemEnhanced Input movement component for controlling player Reusable damage texts instance and animation, sound management to avoid crashing issueUtilize data table to handle large number of attributes of player character, skills, enemiesRandom spawning hordes of mobs outside screen to attack player characterSmoothe transition behavior of pickable items when player character is collecting themImplement 8 active skill slots and 8 passive skill slots logics to accomodate selected skillsSpecial skill logics, its indicating gauge and visual effectsRandom buff effects according to activated level in shop systemImplement global leaderboard dashboard for all players...For more information, please check outline of this course for a glimpse into topics we will go through.Last but not least, if you are a beginner of unreal engine, I highly recommend you follow instructions in detailed video tutorial exactly before you tweak any logics, so that it is more effective for you to learn the course.
