GameDev.TV RPG Courses

Over the last year and a half, I have been working through the following series of courses. These courses are designed to add to each class, with the end product being a workable RPG demo. Each course covered the following:

RPG Core Combat Creator: Learn Intermediate Unity C# Coding

Created core combat mechanics for melee, ranged, and special attacks, such as:

Create pathfinding systems and patrol paths for enemies and NPCs.

Make a detailed level with terrain, enemies, triggers, lighting, particles, and props.

Balance the player and enemy stats (e.g., health, damage, movement, attack speed).

RPG Inventory Systems Asset Pack: Behind The Scenes

The click-to-pickup and the runover-to-pickup systems

The dropping system

The tooltip overlay system

The stackable item system

The equipping system

The saving and loading system

Unity Dialogue & Quests: Intermediate C# Game Coding

A node-based dialogue editor window

A ScriptableObject-based dialogue asset

An in-game dialogue UI

Dialogue triggers and conditions to integrate with the gameplay

A quest list with multi-step objectives

Quest rewards are given via the inventory system

RPG Shops & Abilities: Intermediate C# Game Coding

Shop and Traits UI

Integration between Traits and a modifier system

Main menus

Barter system giving discounts to the players with high charisma

Buying and selling

Filtering shop items by type

Flexible and composable special abilities

Cooldown timers

Mana and money

I enjoyed working through these courses and am excited to add to the final product. As the prototype is a top-down point-and-click style, I would eventually like to make it a First or Third Person style game (similar to Skyrim or The Witcher). Using some assets from the Unity Summer Sale, I would love to continue building and fleshing out a world to continue working on this project.
