[@attben]

Tim DOES level design!

[@jaffekala]

yes he does!

[@senseoffender9655]

This already feels like top tier content Tim! Thanks for putting this out there!

[@seankannemeyer1984]

The first thing I opened was the folder that says DO NOT TOUCH. 🤣 As someone who has really only focused on the technical aspect of game dev, I'm excited to watch along and hone my lvl design skills!

@@seankannemeyer1984 If you know anything about Unreal Engine, or general coding.. I've taken sooo many shortcuts. So please pick them apart and let's have some fun 😁

@@timdoesleveldesign 🎸 lets go!!!!

[@timdoesleveldesign]

@@seankannemeyer1984 Sometimes, I've set up really nice parent-child structures, with inherited functionality. Then, when making another blueprint as the course material needed it, realised I didn't set things up properly to facilitate what I needed, and went "oh well", copy pasted the whole thing, and just ran everything off of branches. And there's a lot worse stuff in there 🙃

@@timdoesleveldesign I think for the intent and purpose of the course it doesn't matter much! After play around with it for a couple hours last night, i didnt see anything that is absolutely busted. But if I come across something, I'll be sure to let you know!

​@@timdoesleveldesign would love to see a series of how you built this and then a video maybe of how you could polish it to make the code better or more modular

[@HOOKD-UP]

Yes please co tinder this series and perhaps talk about how we can expand on this demo to make a full game. Maybe talk a bit about multiplayer replication and build a demo level that showcases how 2 players could be great in a level and how to structure the levels differently and why, for 2 players. I love this series thank you. Will be working off this for my own game idea I've had for some time and didn't know how to start. Thank you!

[@niuniuYang-q9l]

Thank you very much!!! I love this series.Please continue!!!

[@immerdevloper114]

I request please please continue this series

You could of chosen unity or godot. Unity runs fine on my intel mac from 2015, and laptop from 2013. its ok tho. atleast i have the specs that i can run unreal. just feel bad for those that don't. I still think this will be good tutorial for everyone. I just wish more could follow along.

[@timdoesleveldesign]

@aphixe True, but I had limited free time, and it doubled with some UE self-study, so it was the only real option for me at this time 😅
