PAY ATTENTION: This course is designed for intermediate or advanced learners.

First of all, this course is based on a my commercial game I created.

And I recommend to learn this course by using UE5.3 . If you use newer version, some plugins might be not available.

This course took me several hundreds of hours to develop, with detailed videos spreading over more than 70 lectures, covering wide scope of modules to create a survivors style game including:

Setup paper flipbook animations for player character, 20+ mobs and 2 BOSSES movement
56 waves of enemies that increase in difficulty over time with different patterns
13 unique roguelike upgradable skills and player character leveling up system
Object pooling framework to handle large number of actors during 20 minutes gameplay
Unique skills for BOSSES and 2 types of layer sorting methods
Permanent save-loading system to save progress and shop system
Enhanced Input movement component for controlling player
Reusable damage texts instance and animation, sound management to avoid crashing issue
Utilize data table to handle large number of attributes of player character, skills, enemies
Random spawning hordes of mobs outside screen to attack player character
Smoothe transition behavior of pickable items when player character is collecting them
Implement 8 active skill slots and 8 passive skill slots logics to accomodate selected skills
Special skill logics, its indicating gauge and visual effects
Random buff effects according to activated level in shop system
Implement global leaderboard dashboard for all players
…

For more information, please check outline of this course for a glimpse into topics we will go through.

Last but not least, I highly recommend you follow instructions in detailed video tutorial exactly before you tweak any logics, so that it is more effective for you to learn the course.
