Tutorial: Creating an RPG using the Entity-Component-System pattern

Tue, 13 Nov 2018 16:48:24 UTC

Hi!,

I recently started making an open-world adventure game, and thought I'd record myself making it.

Here's a link to the playlist.

The game makes use of the Entity-Component-System pattern, mainly because I wanted to learn how it works. I'm not quite sure how the game will end up looking, but it'll probably draw heavily from games like Zelda, Don't Starve, Stardew Valley and Moonlighter.

The rules I've imposed on myself are:

I won't think too much about what I'll be doing before recording
Videos should be between 15 and 30 minutes in length
I'll aim to record at least 1 video a week

I won't edit the videos, so that others can see my thought process / mistakes

The above rules might mean the video series is of questionable quality, but I'm enjoying making them anyway, and am learning a lot myself.

Thanks!

Hi all, here's a multi-player open-world shooter I'm working on, using an entity-component-system model,
I'd love feedback, and am also interested in collaborating on this game (or a new one) with anyone interested.

Thanks!
