Designed for both beginners and those with some game development background, this course promises a holistic understanding of creating, managing, and updating online multiplayer games. Dive in, and let's start building!

Please note that this course focusses on the Online Multiplayer aspect of game development, how to setup your own infrastructure from scratch etc. This is not specifically a game design/game dev course on how to make a complex/advanced online game, that will come later in my next course where we will use this logic to make a very complex, advanced esports ready card game.

Who this course is for:

This course is for beginner and intermediate Unity game developers who want to learn how to make a serious modern online multiplayer game.
