About This Software
ATTENTION: This GTGD S2 tutorial series is currently obsolete and is only useful in understanding how to setup an Amazon EC2 instance. I’m currently working on a 2D Unity tutorial series and I aim to publish in September 2021. The new 2D tutorial series will replace this package here on Steam when released and I’ll also make it available on YouTube. Thank you and everyone who has purchased my tutorial series, because you have been directly supporting me and that is why I have been able to continue working on a new and better tutorial series to replace this package! Thank you.
Welcome to GTGD S2 the awesome sequel to GTGD S1, the video tutorial package that helps a gamer turn their dream of developing a game into reality.
S2 was made with Unity 4.3.4 and the C# programming language. You can use the free version of the Unity game development engine.
With S2 you will learn
1. How to implement smooth Mecanim animation across the network even with latency as high as 250ms.
2. How to build and deploy your own Unity Master Server on an Amazon EC2 micro instance. Your users will be able to host their own public game servers, from their own home, and players will be able to see those public servers thanks to your Master Server. No need for expensive third party networking solutions.
3. How to build a powerful combined first and third person camera system. It features:
- 1st and 3rd person views with smooth zoom.
