Welcome to my first blog ever. So over the next few weeks, I'll be posting updates on the multiplayer game that I'll be working on as a University Assignment along with my group of 5, with 3 designers and 2 programmers(me being one of them :) ).
We are still in the brainstorming process yet, having fixated on the premise and main game loop. We will be making a "Last Man Standing" game, with one winner at the end, and different gameplay at every level. Some of the games we're taking inspiration from are Fall Guys and Crab Game, and we're thinking of doing some drunken physics movements like Human Fall Flat and Gang Beasts.
Human Fall Flat
Crab Game
For this week, we all are coming up with ideas, from levels to game design to art style, though none of us are artists, but we want to have at least some basic theme and maybe we could expand later, and find some assets for now.
We decided to use Unreal and not Unity because I wanted to expand my knowledge on the engine and work more in C++. We will be having dedicated servers as well, to which I have absolutely no knowledge of how to implement. So yeah, it's gonna be fun. I am mentally prepared. I did create a demo project and connected multiple players on my local network with a master server, so it's not so bad yet. But a long way to go.
Thanks for reading, and hope to see you next week.
