Unreal Engine 5 FPS: Create A Zombie Horde Shooter

Awesome Tuts

NOVEMBER 28, 2022

In this tutorial you’ll create a zombie horde shooter game with Unreal Engine 5 using blueprints. The game is simple but is packed with tons of behind the scenes features that will allow you to understand the “why” behind the “how” a game is created in Unreal Engine 5. Creating The Project. to open it.

Hopefully, in the near future, it will be solid enough to run periodically to spot engine regressions in an automatic way. As announced before , Godot Physics will become the default physics engine for Godot 4.0. Cylinder collision shape. Heightmap collision shape. We're almost there! Bug fixing. Godot Physics features.

FEBRUARY 19, 2020

Runtime navigation mesh baking. Collision avoidance support. The Map represents the entire world, it's similar to the space for the physics engine, but this one is used for the navigation. The agent is also responsible for avoiding collisions. The NavigationObstacle is really simple, and it's used for collision avoidance.
