About the Course

In this course, students will learn how to create a Capture the Flag game mode. Students will learn how to create player classes, set up bases, design defender NPCs, power-ups, environment hazards, create objectives, and more to create a unique twist on the classic game mode. Our theme is Primal and Modern (Island Conquest), with a clash of different time periods where primal defenders fight for control versus arctic researchers.
