About the Course

In this course, we will learn how to create a 1v1-style game mode that pits players against each other in a Winner Stays format. Those waiting their turn to battle it out can run around the waiting area or head out to the viewing area and watch the action! Our theme is a desert town set in an old western time period. In this course, we will create a combat arena, a viewing/waiting area, classes to provide players with the weapons and resources they need, and audience activities to keep you busy while you wait for your turn on the street.
