Why learn multiplayer game development?
Multiplayer games have become increasingly popular in recent years, and with the rise of online gaming comes a demand for developers who can create engaging and immersive multiplayer experiences.
Multiplayer games also offer a level of engagement and social interaction that most single-player games simply can't match. And adding those features can separate a good game from a great game
What will you learn in this course?
In the course, we'll create an online multiplayer race competition where you collect all the rings as fast as possible before the other player does.
We'll start by understanding how online multiplayer games work and the common phrases (server, ping, room, network).
Next, Learn the client-server model and the effect of ping on the game.
From there, we'll implement a connection to a server and a lobby UI where the player can join or create a match.
We will sync the player's nickname across the network and make the player spawn from different spawn points on the map.
Finally, we will make a scoring system when a ring is collected and a winning logic when the game is over.
Throughout the course, you'll learn how to implement multiplayer game mechanics such as lobbies, matchmaking, and player synchronization.
By the end of the course, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed to create your own multiplayer games in Unity, C#, and Photon PUN2. You'll be able to create games that are played online with friends or strangers, and you'll have a solid foundation for building more complex multiplayer games in the future.
