Description
"This course is not like an "how to.." tutorial; it's a journey of "real game development". - Stefan, student.
Thanks for taking interest in my Multiplayer Dungeon Crawler UE4 course. Here are some important notes before you take the plunge:
1) This course is still being created. It is a living, breathing body of work. I have a lot planned for it with levels, more monsters, player classes and abilities, items, etc. Lots more to come. You are purchasing an "early access" course.
2) Be sure to join the members-only Discord where you can ask questions, share your progress, expand your learning and talk with fellow students. Let's build a great community together and share our journeys! Leave your ego at the door ;)
3) This course is designed for beginner to intermediate users of Unreal Engine 4 (3+ months of UE4 experience). I don't want to spend 5 hours explaining the basics of the engine so please review tutorials on Youtube if you're brand new.
I recommend that you have at least a basic understanding of the Engine. I move fast at times and I expect you to figure things out on your own by pausing the video if needed. Purchasing this course does NOT give you personal consulting from me for basic issues.
Dungeon Crawlers are some of my favorite type of games. They're not that complicated, they're fun, difficult at times, and provide hours of entertainment for you and your friends. So let's create one!
I've been building games in Unreal Engine 4 for several years. Come with me as I build this game right in front of you on video teaching you step-by-step.
We'll be using completely free assets. This is both a bless and a curse. We'll have all sorts of free assets to use to create our game, but we're also limited by the free assets which might limit some things that we do.
To start, we'll setup the Paladin class and an AI worm to get our attacking and ability functionality in working order. We want to be able to damage the worm and also get the worm to attack the player.
Once we get some of this basic functionality created, we'll create the next classes for players. These will be a Hunter, a Mage, a Priest. Maybe more after that depending on how successful the course is.
We will also set up plenty of AI monsters for the player to attack, waves of mobs to battle through as you climb through the levels.
There will be traps and switches that the player needs to find. A switch might open a door or deactivate spikes in the ground. You may find a secret wall to bash!
This is my second course on Udemy, following my really successful Souls-Like RPG Course. If you haven't gone through that course yet, check it out. It's a different type of game, but great to increase your UE4 knowledge.
If you think I deserve anything but 5 stars, please let me know so I can make improvements and help you progress. I can always redo videos and make things more clear.
My inspiration for this game is a 2D dungeon crawler called Hammerwatch. If you've never played it, then check it out and you'll see what we're doing, but in 3D. Should be fun!
The game is also designed with 4-player co-op in mind. I want you to be able to play with your friends over the internet as well as on the couch for 4-player action.
We will also use some basic C++ to setup some classes. Don't worry, the course is 99% Blueprint. But, because some people have interest in C++, I'll show you how to use it to create base classes where you can add functions, variables, structures, enums and so on.
Oh, and we'll also set the game up to work with a game pad. It would be silly not to!
If you've always wanted to make a Top-Down Dungeon Crawler game for Unreal Engine 4, join the course now. It will be a fun, on-going process and you can help me make it great.
Join now and let's get started!
