Why take this course?

Learn how to include three essential game mechanics, Shops, Special Abilities and Traits, in your games.

This highly acclaimed series was over 200% funded on Kickstarter, and is designed for intermediate users of Unity. We recommend you take at least the first half of our Complete Unity Developer 2D or 3D, or equivalent, as a prerequisite.

You can use the code we create in the course in any game or project you build. We’ll be using an RPG as an example. You don't need to have completed the previous parts of the RPG Series (the RPG Core Combat, Inventory Systems and Dialogue & Quests courses) but it will give you an advantage if you already have.

The course is project-based as we believe this is the best way to learn Unity and C#. You will not just be learning dry programming concepts, but applying them immediately to a real RPG as you go.

We’ll provide the RPG project created so far in the series so that you can practice integrating to an existing complex project. Every element of the project we touch will be fully explained and no knowledge of the project will be required.

In the course we will be building the following from scratch:

Shop and Traits UI
Integration between Traits and a modifier system
Main menus
Barter system giving discounts to player with high charisma
Buying and selling
Filtering shop items by type
Flexible and composable special abilities
Cooldown timers
Mana and money

In the process of the course we will cover advanced topics such as: C# Delegates, Interfaces, Lambdas, Strategy and Composite Patterns.

You will get full lifetime access for a single one-off fee. The creators are qualified and experienced coders and avid gamers, so are able to explain complex concepts clearly, as well as entertain along the way.

You will have access to a course forum where you can discuss topics on a course-wide basis, or down to the individual video. Get plugged into our communities of amazing developers on Facebook (nearly 20k), in our own TA-curated Community (17k views/day), and our student chat group (10k live at any one time).

The course is still in production with new videos dropping on a weekly basis, making now a great time to get involved and help shape its future.

Shops and Abilities are core to many game genres. So why not join us and get started improving your game development right now?

Exactly how I expected it to be, but I would've preferred if there was a course about turning our game to an MMO, or a small-sized network at least, and possibly a course about how to replicate the combat levels for other skills that players can do in-game (E.g: Mining, Woodcutting, Agility, etc), through experience rather than payments (in the Traits section)

The title is not wrong, but it led me to believe it was an intermediate course, but it's a tutorial WITH intermediate coding. Sadge. The instructor is fine, I know his job from UE5 courses. I'm sad, I was expecting more from you guys. And that's a review that can be considered to other "intermediate" courses, I'm not going to repeat myself. (a tip you guys could use and move forward the same old tutorial content).

This course was an awesome extension to the previous courses that really pulled everything together. It's a testament to Sam and Rick that I paused the course for over 6 months part way through and was able to pick it right back up with a minimum of knowledge loss. The abilities section in particular may have been my favorite section across all 4 courses and watching the final video really was bittersweet.

These four RPG GameDev.TV course is a must get for RPG enthusiasts. An investment well worth it's price. Because, the lectures are very informative and structured. Also, you could join their community and people are willing to help out on fixing bugs. Besides obtaining my B.S. in Game Design, these courses are my best investments, hands down.

Quite a bit difficult to follow and understand. Advanced Shop features really required a lot of time to understand and set up

This course is a worthy extension of the whole RPG series. The different sections build off of previously established content from the previous courses and introduce new content to tie everything together into a whole package. The new content also highlights an important part of game development, how adding new features to a game may require you to go back and change other scripts so that everything works together more effectively. I like how the end of every section provides ideas for possible extensions from what's provided in the course. I will probably look through all of the sections again to see what ones I could try and add to the game. Overall, this course adds some other useful features for an RPG game and demonstrates how all the systems can tie together to make a comprehensive game. Though I feel that this course works best if you have already done the previous courses, which are all great courses as well.

There's not a lot of info at the start of the lecture about how to set up the project. It assumes the individual downloads the project instead of continuing from the previous projects.

I just finished all four courses of RPG series. It was amazing journey. I get a lot of knowledge from this RPG series. The instructors are really really great and explain the details of everything he did except the implementation of inventory in inventory course but they explain really well how to use it. I'm really recommend this course and all RPG series. Thank for this great RPG series.

I have taken all of their previous courses and this is in line with the quality I have come to expect from GameDevTV. I hope to have the skills necessary to get a job in the industry or publish my own game soon.
