Unity RPG Core Combat: Make Your Own RPG Combat System
Learn How To Build Combat for Role Playing Game (RPG) in Unity. Tutorials Cover Code Architecture & Video Game Design.
//
Build Combat Players Actually Remember.
An enemy that just stands there and takes hits isn't combat, it's a health bar with legs. This course is built around the RPG combat systems that make a fight feel like a fight: melee, ranged and special attacks, all working together in Unity, all built by you from the ground up.
Code Melee, Ranged and Special Attacks That Land.
Three attack types, one system that has to handle all of them cleanly. You'll build core combat mechanics for melee, ranged and special attacks, then balance them so no single option trivialises a fight. It's the foundation every enemy encounter in the rest of the course gets built on.
Architect Code That Won't Collapse Under Its Own Weight.
A combat system this size needs real structure behind it. You'll work with C# interfaces, delegates and co-routines to keep your code organised as it grows, then build pathfinding and patrol paths so enemies and NPCs navigate the world properly instead of standing rooted to one spot.
Design a Level Worth Fighting Through.
Terrain, triggers, lighting, props: a battlefield needs all of it before combat feels like it belongs somewhere. You'll build a full, detailed level around your combat system, populated with enemies and set dressing that make it feel like a real place, then balance the difficulty so every fight lands at the right challenge for the player.

Sam Pattuzzi
Hi I'm Sam, pleasure to meet you.
I wrote my first game at 14, hacking together little games in Macromedia Flash during my summer holidays. Not long after I taught myself C++ followed by Python and web programming. I was hooked.
In 2010 I went to study Computer Science at the University of Cambridge and I've been here ever since. This is where I caught the entrepreneurial bug and I realised I wouldn't want a traditional job for long. So after a few years working in various jobs to get experience, I quit and started burning through my saving looking for my calling.
At the end of 2015, I was coaching some friends to improve their programming skills. Realising how much I loved it, I started creating online courses and reached out to Ben for help. Next thing I know, I'm part of the GameDev.tv gang and get to hang out with our awesome community!

Hi, I'm Rick, nice to meet you all.
I've been making video games for a living for more than 2 decades as a Game Designer, Producer, Creative Director, and Executive Producer, creating games for console, mobile, PC and Facebook. I founded an Indie game studio, called Inspirado Games, which was acquired in 2012 by Electronic Arts / PopCap. I also worked on cool IPs such as Mario, Transformers, Captain America and Mortal Kombat and created successful new IPs from scratch (such as "GardenMind" which was nominated for Canadian Game of the Year in the social / mobile category).
As a qualified Career Coach, I've helped thousands of people achieve their dream of making games for a living - both as Indie Game Developers and as valuable game industry employees.
