Course Description



Important Note: Unity has announced future de-support for Unity Networking (formerly known as UNET). However, these tutorials should continue to work using Unity 2017.4 LTS and still provide a solid background in networking concepts.
If you want to enroll in this course we recommend using 2017.4 LTS in order for the lectures to work properly.
In 2019, we expect to discontinue this course in preparations for alternate networking solution. A completely new course is currently in development. Please see the GameAcademy[dot]school blog for updates.
This is a short course designed to introduce you to Unity's Networked Multiplayer system.
In it, we'll create a small tank arena shooter where we introduce:
  • Unity's Multiplayer Networking High Level API (HLAPI)
  • NetworkIdentity and NetworkTransform, to
  • Remote Actions, such as Commands and ClientRPCs
  • SyncVars and SyncVar hooks
  • NetworkManager, and NetworkManagerHUD
  • NetworkStartPosition


We will learn how to make our simple player drive around an arena level and connect with more than one player over a network.
This is an introduction to networking concepts as well as several components specifically made for Unity Multiplayer Networking.
Note: this course is designed for Mac and PC standalone (Multiplayer over LAN Network) and does not cover mobile devices.

Who this course is for:
  • Developers with working knowledge of Unity 3D and C#
  • This is NOT a beginning course. Do not enroll in this course without some experience in Unity 3D and C#

If you want to learn how to create a network/Internet multiplayer game then this is the course to get you started. I learned a lot in this course and look forward to putting it to use on some other games I have in mind.Wilmer is an excellent instructor! Love the way he explains everything so you understand it and you have a fully functional game at the end! Bought both of his courses and will but the next!

By Jerry Rosemeyer on 3 years ago

some of the scripting needs to be explained in a simpler fashion for people who have not worked with quaternions and world space coordinates and such, a little more in depth thought process on the calculations

10/10 Seriously, Wilmer is awesome. Buy everything he makes! Looking forward to his GO-inspired puzzle game. Make a TBS, Wilmer! Instabuy for me. Just finished the course and I feel like I really learned a ton about establishing a multiplayer game.

Great course. The author explained the concept of multiplayer game very clearly. Thanks!

It goes by small steps which is helping to keep motivation and momentum going, it's also easy to understand this way.It explains clearly and simple.Update (after finishing the course):I've been doing game programming for a while now, but never tried Unity, and I've picked this course to get me started with Unity and Unity Multiplayer in particular, and it worked perfectly.It's not too complex, Wilmer is explaining every step he's doing, and it's building on little steps which helps you feel in control of what you're doing and build upon a stable foundation in each lesson.I'm grateful for this course.You did a great job, thanks Wilmer!

This course goes at a reasonable speed. Lots of testing along the way so you can see how it all comes together. There isn't a lot of time spent showing you the wrong way of doing things, which I personally like, however, some time is spent doing this. The course gives you a good passing familiarity with unity networking, starting with local connections only, and finally concluding with using online servers for a full multiplayer experience. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning unity, especially if they are interested in making something with online multiplayer.Before starting this course, I had a limited exposure with PUN, and tried to dig through the API myself. After taking this course, I feel I have a much stronger understanding of not only unity networking, but PUN, and online multiplayer in general.
