Lock 'n' Load! In this feature packed series we will cover how to make a 2D Run 'N' Gun platformer that has destructible environment, runtime level editor, multiplayer and enemy AI.

This series is a code analysis series, where we cover the code and how the concepts work rather than developing it "live".

 

For cosmetic purposes, the series uses the following assets:
