Description
In this course we build a multiplayer Real Time Strategy (RTS) game that you can play online through the Steam API against your friends. You’ll learn fundamental multiplayer development principles such as synching variables, remote procedure calls (RPCs) and writing server authoritative logic in a way that can be applied to your own indie multiplayer games.
This is not a course for absolute beginners. You’ll need a basic grasp of Unity and C# before you get started so that you’re ready for the more advanced concepts we’ll be using such as events, interfaces, and inheritance.
