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#

Time: 5.5h

By Md. Shohanur Rahaman

The Super Fast instructor he can debug your project if you made any mistake. He explained each bit of code portion. Recommended.

By Brandon Trumpold

Great instructor. You can tell he's spent a lot of time making sure the audio is clear and his explanations are concise. My only recommendation is to explain some of the more difficult concepts that many beginners have a hard time grasping. But it is tough for some instructors to look into the perspective of the learner.

By Kish Fox

Very thorough coverage of the course material, without lingering on a single topic for too long. The perfect pace.

By Igor Chen Wu

I'm still in the early parts of this course, but I've covered some of the network part. So far so good! The explanations are clear and easy to follow. Do note that you need some basic programming and maybe Unity experience to get the most out of this course.

By Mark LaBoe

Very simple to follow and understand.

By Daniel Griffiths

Great tutorial learning a lot of stuff. Anyone thinking of networking should consider this course as it very clear and well presented.

By Shahar Levy

Wilmer the instructor doesn't explain much about the programming concepts of everything other than the networking concept which is ok because the course requirements says that basic unity and C# is needed.
This is an intermediate course.
As for the networking concepts, everything is explained well Up to this point.

By Robert Printis

Really good pace. Complicated information explained very well.

By Oprea Alexandru

When I bought this course I just wanted to understand the online part of Unity since I've been using it for the last 2 years. I can say I totally got value out of this course as I expcted, but I also got a lot of useful informations I didn't expect. The concepts are explained very clear. I would totally suggest this course for any Unity fan out there that has some basic understandings.
