    Hi guys, my name is Janek and in this course I’m going to teach you how to create a simple multiplayer game project in unity. The project will be a simple pvp fighter, aimed more at teaching you the basics required to develop your own ideas. We will be using the server authoritative architecture and for that we’ll make use of the Elympics plugin for unity, since it’s one of the simplest options that still allows a lot of flexibility - were you to develop your project further. At the end of this course you should know how to set up a project, handle player input, create interactions between players and spawn synchronized objects. You will be able to set up a server for your project online, make use of Elympics matchmaking system and hopefully start developing your own game.
