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.
