How To Make A VideoGame (FPS tutorial with the Unity game engine) Video Lecture | How to make Video Games: Game Editor Tutorial - Game Development

Three years ago we started unveiling the secrets
of multiplatform game development.
Now we didn't just want to show a trick or two,
I mean we wanted to completely
blast open the vault to game-development mastery.
And little did we know that within weeks
you guys made us the top tutorial channel
of game-development
and because of the buzz that you created we were able to
extend our help to console-developers,
top app-publishers and hundreds of indie studios.
but that was then. What we're about
to do next will blow your mind.
After opening about 300 emails a day
for the past three years
we noticed that many studios have
very innovative ideas
for the action-shooter genre... but, not enough staff
or not the right staff, or not enough funds,
to pull it off.
Because as you know, the known shooters out there
all cost around 30-60 million dollars to pull off
with a staff of about 200 people, over the span of 2-4 years.
so how can we help you compete in that space?
Well you asked and we have the answer!
FPS Control is an ever-expanding suite of tools
that allow you to build any First Person game in no-time.
It's built on top of the popular Unity Game Engine
so you can easily deploy your games to any platform.
Rather than spending hundreds of hours
coding Aritificial Intelligence and gameplay elements
you can use the built-in editors to tweak the
existing functionality for you.
And if you'd like to go deeper
you can always get a source-license to extend
the existing codebase as well as build your own editors
so in short:
do only what you like to do and still
get an original game in a fraction of the time!
As a proof-of-concept we wanted to see
how quickly we can create a total different shooter
with the same package.
So what we did is:
we took a bunch of ancient characters
and a bunch of swords
threw them in the system and within less than two weeks
we had gameplay going.
Now, this "Ancient Battle Arena" game
is a little rough around the edges still
and it's just a demo
but it does show you
how quickly you can create something useful.
Yeah in under two weeks.
And if that isn't exciting enough yet
the basic version of FPS Control is completely free
so head on over to FPSControl.com
and download the copy that's waiting for you.
The make FPS Control work let's
install the software that we need
First, go to FPSControl.com
and then click on "download"
and this will guide you through the
two steps that are needed
to download all the software.
First, we need the game-engine which is called "Unity"
which is what FPS Control runs on.
simply click the 'download' button right next to it
and that will bring you to the Unity page.
Now click "download Unity" and whatever
version number is the most recent one
and it will start downloading automatically.
If you're on the Mac,
it will start downloading the Mac version,
if you're on Windows,
it will start downloading the Windows version.
Now, I've already installed Unity
so I'm going to cancel this.
But make sure you've got Unity installed
before you go to the next step
So let's close this and go back to step 2.
And in step 2, we ask you if you want to
receive your FPS Control dowload link
Now to do this, you need to put
your email address in.
And the reason why we ask you for
your email address is because
technology changes very very quickly
in this industry
and new versions come out
very very quickly
so we need to keep you updated
on the most recent version
of course, we send those updates
out for free.
So now, if I check my email here,
an email will have come in
saying that
I should confirm my email address
I click the link to confirm my email address
and it tells me
that's great, a new email will come
in with the download link
so let me check my inbox again.
and there it is.
So if I open that up
it will tell me
your subscription has been confirmed
and here is your download link.
So now I simply click on that link
and it will start downloading
FPS Control
Now, make sure you have Unity installed
before you open this zip-file.
I have unzipped this file already
so that you can take a look
And there's a folder called FPSControl
when you unzip it
In that folder there are three other folders:
"Assets", "Library" and "ProjectSettings"
I'd recommend that you leave "library"
and "ProjectSettings" alone
because this is filled in automatically
by the Unity engine
But in the "assets folder" it holds all the
resources that our game needs and
we can implement 3d characters in here...
scripts and all kinds of cool stuff.
So if we scroll down and go to "scenes"
in this folder we've chosen to keep all our
levels or all our maps
so all you have to do to launch Unity
in FPS Control mode
Is clicking one of the files here.
Let's open up "ShellShock.unity"
A .unity file is obviously a 3d level
And there we have it, we've launched our first game!
So in the next video we'll explain how all this works
and what we can do next.
So, see you in the next one!
