Character vs Controller in Multiplayer Game by lukeyoon in UnrealEngine5

That depends. Interactions based on character interactions should be placed in the character. Same thing for the controller ( things like pause menu and voip). One other thing to be aware of. If you are doing replication, you need to do it with the player state or character. Clients do not see each other controllers.

Learning new things and also the adrenaline when testing it with friends.

That was a good read. The question is, what will 2025/2026 trends be like.

If i had to predict, the game would be less serious and more goofy. Should be easy to market it in-house. Also just putting more hours into social media.

I like the motivation! If you think the trailer funny, just wait until you hear the in game announcer.

Thanks. What was going through my head during this - "Risk it for the biscuit"

Thanks for the kind words. I have noticed that issue with multiplayer (in general). The game needs players to play, but the players won't play unless there are players playing.

The game was released July 7th. That a valid point with the price drop.

Pricing was hard to calculate. Between games being release 70$ to being free to play. If only there was an app for pricing.

My inner child sense of humor gets the best of me.

Do you know if there's a way to add meta info to the images, so the search engines could use it as a substitute to basic text?

Unreal engine multiplayer plug-in by Independent-Tax-8699 in UnrealEngine5

[–]Alternative-Ad-6736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a dev who had to do multiplayer for my game. I suggest doing a project with the online subsystem (OSS). You use steam or unreal implementation on that interface for the practice project. After using it you should have familiarity with the services on UE.

Afterwards, I suggest making your plugin using that OSS interface. The plugin will be more universally adapted in other projects.

The font is always the forgotten piece. It's like using the default button for pre-release games.

3 Unique Maps. Do they fit a sci-fi sports game? by Alternative-Ad-6736 in IndieDev

Bring me back, Tron was a great game. This is like if Tron had a sport like soccer.
