Game Jams, Prototypes & older Projects
UE4 Multiplayer - 2021
To learn about Networking Features in Unreal Engine, I created a small third person shooter project. Everything was setup from scratch by me. Thanks to the “Advanced Sessions Plugin” for Unreal Engine, setting up working multiplayer over Steam was relatively simple.
The project went through multiple iterations, with each build being tested consistently.
It served as a great Learning Experience about Networking, 3Cs, Shooting Mechanics & Replication.
Video Tutorials - 2008-2021
I’ve always enjoyed teaching others to help them succeed with their goals.
Over the years I’ve built up a backlog of video tutorials, teaching about the Blender Game Engine and Unreal Engine.
Making these videos I have to find a fine balance between entertainment and educational content, to make it more fun to learn.
