I want to make a battle royale game, but don’t know where to start. I want a FREE tutorial and it would be even better to FREE assets!
Start with a project that is A LOT simpler!
Making a game with combat can be difficult, making one that can support the number of networked players required for a battle royal, complete with the correct size of the landscape and all the weapon systems etc is very complex.
I’m sure someone out there has started to make a tutorial, but it won’t cover everything you need to know. Your best bet is to take some of the sample projects that come with UE4 and look at expanding that. So, take the FPS shooter example, learn how to add guns, or add an area which if you’re outside will cause damage. Keep working on these smaller systems until you understand how the engine works, and then you’ll have a better idea of how to approach the problem.
That’s probably not the answer you wanted, but I can’t emphasis enough how big a job it is to make a battle royal game is and if you want to do it, you need to learn a lot first.
if you have to ask then you dont have enough experience to begin on a project of that scale. also most things of worth have a cost so dont expect much from free things. that said theres a ton of free assets on the marketplace and on sites like itch. when it comes to learning things youtube is good but the explanations wont always be perfect or correct so you need to look at things from many perspectives to see what is right.
That’s a big question.
What have you done prior? What skills do you have? Programming? Art? Animation? VFX? Do you have a portfolio of work?
You can start by learning how to make smaller games. Pick a game you like and make your own version. Game jams are helpful too.
