Simple Games made with Lumberyard ?

Hi @REDACTEDUSER

While I haven't worked with respawning terrain (yet!), I have worked with the rest and it is very do-able. I suggest watching the great Lumberyard Game Tech tutorials on YouTube. I've started adding a few tutorials as well (such as on the spawning that you mentioned using Script Canvas).

I would suggest jumping in with both feet. The learning curve is a little steeper than other game engines, but the power and features (as well as the rapid advancement of the engine) make it worthwhile.

I will be starting my second game using Lumberyard this month.

Best of luck on your project! Look forward to seeing it!

I appreciate your feedback, thank you!

I would really like to see someone in the LY team answering and showing of some small games.

I want to start make some small games but not seeing any tutorials or showcase on that and only advanced stuff it bugs me and makes me think to not start on LY yet :(

I wouldn't like to invest more time in learning other engines though if LY can offer that too ... the creation of small games.

I am a complete noob at this but have already created plenty of playable content. I'm finding LY extremely user-friendly atm. Here is a video of my latest work (building system). This is a playable charactor built in makehuman, animated with mixamo animations, then root motion fixed in Blender....all free and easy to use. I will share my LUA code to. My other videos show the game before I converted everything from script canvas to LUA.

Lumberyard are characterized by high productivity, efficiency. It would be great if they tried to create something like World of Warcraft. Because I needed to buy a raise in Horific visions boost, for $ 29.00, which includes 3 zones run (4 chests total) to make the game in WOW at least a little more interesting. Developers have not been releasing updates for a long time, and fewer people are playing Warcraft.
