Description

Have you ever wanted to learn what it takes to make a Multiplayer Survival Game in Unreal Engine 5? In this course you will learn how to make a complete multiplayer survival game featuring a drag an drop inventory system, a complete crafting system, a gathering and harvesting system, a building system where you can build bases, a tribes system where you can play with your friends or raid other players, a open world map featuring different biomes, procedural foliage and more, and procedural AI that spawn across the map. We wont stop there, we'll also add a complete social system, player chat, voice chat. And a save and load system, so all the player stats will be saved and loaded. We add armor equipables that the player can equip on their character. And we also add 9 unique items or tools such as a bow, rifle, rocket launcher, picaxe, hatchet, and much more! We add a full main menu, join and server browser, escape menu, settings menu, spawn in menu and lots more. And we finally package the game as an executable, and show you how to package a dedicated server that you can deploy on AWS to host your game server. We add steam integration so that we use steam sessions and steam accounts for player authentication. This course was recorded in Unreal Engine version 5.0, and later is updated to Unreal Engine 5.2. If you are a complete beginner, it is recommended that you follow this course exactly as shown in the lectures, following the same course Unreal Engine version. Otherwise there will be distinct differences if you use the most CURRENT version of the engine (5.5). These distinct differences will not be mentioned or noted in the lectures, thus if you are a complete beginner, it is essential you follow the course exactly down to the engine version used in the lectures.
