Are you interested in learning how to program multiplayer gameplay using Unreal Engine 5? This course can save you months or even years of searching through endless documentations, tutorials, and attempts to implement a stable framework for your projects.

With this course, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel – I will guide you through the proven industry-standard approaches and frameworks that will allow you to feel confident with multiplayer gameplay programming and be prepared for real-life challenges.

The course covers not only practice but also the theory of the Ability System, which we will start with. My goal is to provide you with not just a set of examples but also an understanding of how different multiplayer tasks can be approached, with nuances that could take you a lot of time to find out on your own through trial and error.

You will also have access to a complete GitHub repository with all lectures implemented upon request.

To make the most of this course, I highly recommend following the lectures in order to not miss anything. However, if you’re here for a specific thing, you can always watch a specific lecture or at least a section.

This course covers the following topics:

  • Ability System (Theory & Practice)
