First week and presentation

Hello there!

My name is Erick Blas Ruiz Ponce, I studied engineering in computer science and I'm a game coder. I love videogames, anime, programming games and hanging out with my girlfriend and friends.

Following an tip  I heard in a presentation, I'm writing each week in this blog all that I learn about game development, the problems I faced and how did I solve them (if I've already solved it 😁). 
So, let's start this new journey!!!

This week was really interesting,  I studied a lot of theory about multiplayer in Unreal and noticed that is different world. I was thinking about add the multiplayer mode to a fight game that I made a few months ago, but I realized that the HUD to select characters could be a problem too big for my first contact with the multiplayer. The HUDs are not replicated and level change caused the server and the client to be at different levels.

I'll add that functionality to the fight game once I get more experience with multiplayer games, in the meantime, I started a multiplayer with mechanics inspired by games like "It takes two" and "A way out". I want to create situations where two players have to work together to advance across the level.

Another interesnting thing that I've started to study was Verse and Fortnite creative. The syntax of verse was a bit strange for me at the beginning but reading the documentation it started to make more sense (although there are some things that I haven't finished to understand). I started to code a small game but I'll write more about it on my next blog.

This is all for this week, I hope this blog will by helpfull to track my progress and maybe help someone to resolve a problem, to learn about a new topic or meet new people with similar interests.
