Multiplayer Game Development In Godot

1. In this course, we learn how to code a multiplayer game project using the Godot game engine and the Ubuntu Server.

The first project is the game project, where we learn how to:

• import 3D models and animations in Godot,

• retarget the animations,

• set up the game environment,

• create a third-person character,

• setup main and pause menu user interface,

• connecting to the game server and

• sharing/receiving the data from the game server.

The second project is the game server project, where we learn how to:

• Set up the multiplayer peer in Godot,

• define the rpc calls for both ends of the game,

• connecting multiple players in the game world and

• sharing data with them about other players' transforms, animations and names.

We also learn how we can:

• host our game server on a local machine, where I also give some hints on web hosting providers online,

• download & install the Ubuntu Server on a local machine,

• download and use FileZilla to share files from our computer to the Ubuntu Server,

• download and use Putty to connect to and control our Ubuntu Server,

• export the game server Godot project as a dedicated,

• uploading the dedicated server PCK file and running it on the Ubuntu Server.
