Description
Blaster is a multiplayer third-person competitive shooter game harnessing Unreal Engine 5 and C++ with a focus on top-tier multiplayer development strategies. This includes the implementation of Server, Client, Multicast RPCs, Variable Replication, Rep Notifies, and Game Mode match states for an engaging multiplayer experience. The game includes advanced character movements such as leaning, strafing, turning in place, and aim offsets for weapons as well as a variety of hit-scan and projectile weapons designed to work using line and sphere traces using a multitude of vector operations. Each weapon has been assigned a unique bullet scatter, making them useful for different situations.
