In last Gameplay Balance System post I was writing about fun. Now it’s time to actually implement patterns and manager. In this tutorial you will learn how to:
This will be the first tutorial where I have done Live Streaming for you guys. Let’s move forward!
I just finished interview with 80lvl where you can find out more about Shooter Tutorial.
Shooter Tutorial Initiative just get 20th supporter! I would like to thank you all for backing up the initiative! It means a lot for me. I will try to find out great gifts for you guys beside free game and free e-book.
I would like to point here what’s my goal. First of all I want to finish Shooter Tutorial game as Tutorials which you can see here. It will be free resource for you guys. Then ship the game using some yet not announced publisher. After that I will focus on writing book about creating shooter game from scratch using Blueprints and actual Unreal Engine 4 engine version. It will be created from scratch and I won’t use actual Shooter Tutorials as base. The book will cover lot more: multiplayer, VR, free assets (but I would like to add a whole chapter on using paid assets and improving the quality of a game. Maybe I will pay someone to create the graphics for me and publish it for free. Don’t know yet.), focus more deeply about game development, design and production. It will be complete How To Create Game book, even better than Shooter Tutorial Initiative.
I can see that people basically want to learn. Based on Learn To Make Video Games . They raised £128,748 to create such project – keep an eye on this!
Please keep in mind that I’m creating Shooter Initiative for free during my free time and materials here are free as well. I’m not promising you guys anything I don’t have any deadline but as you can see from the Tutorials I’m motivated to finish this project and help you guys on your road to create games using Unreal Engine 4.
Thanks again!
I’m getting a lot of request to create Skyrim like inventory Tutorial. I have found you guys have a problems with ShooterTutorial inventory implementation as well. ShooterTutorial inventory is about choosing weapons before starting gameplay. That’s why I have decided to create complete Skyrim like inventory tutorial which will:
This tutorial is long and not so easy. As always take your time!
As an Indie do you need to use development tracking tools? For me as a producer its key part of doing games but maybe not all of you have the same opinion.
If you are indie developer looking to use some tracking tools this post is for you!
Many thanks for everyone that have participated! Full results: ‘Which features should I focus ‘ Results
Blueprints are the most important part for you guys and I will convert any C++ tutorial to Blueprint version as well. Basically I will try to post tutorials about all of your requests. That’s why I have opened Request Tutorial page to get better understanding what’s needed.
Thanks again for your opinion! It means a lot for me!
I will do Complete Melee Weapon tutorial from requested tutorials guys and I’m thinking how much it should cover. Currently my list have:
Please let me know what exactly you would like to learn about melee weapon.
Another thing is – should I use free assets for this tutorial? If yes some of these functionalities (like attacking animations, blocking hits, melee enemy) can’t be done completely.
I will try to find cheap assets and mostly use free one but I’m currently not sure if all of them will be free. (if you like you can post links to free assets – hands with animations, shield, sword, enemy with melee animations) Please let me know in comments!
This won’t be typical tutorial. I want to share theory with you about gameplay balance:
I already have some early gameplay prototype:
Let’s break it to pieces.
In this tutorial I will show you how to create weapon selection screen. I did debug version of it earlier. This time I will use:
I have moved from wordpress.com to custom VPS. Please let me know if you found issues. Especially like:
Why I have moved? To have more control of what I’m doing here. Now I will be able to make normal polls, code blocks, tables and much more!
Creating ShooterTutorial takes a lot of my free time.
If you want you can help me out! I will use your donation to buy better assets packs and you will be added to Credits /Backers page as well. You will get final game and book for free!
Implementing game is taking time but writing about it is taking much more effort!
