Making a multiplayer game? Then you need a proper pre-game lobby—somewhere players can choose their loadouts before the match even begins.

In this video, I show you how to build it the right way using Player State—so your data is safe, replicated correctly, and ready for multiplayer from day one.

New animation I added to my multiplayer horror game, Mimic. Spent way too much time doing drool VFX lol

Let us know what you think. I need to record the audio of the creature screaming in the player face, is that a BTS you would like to see?
