Enhance your survival game environments by adding NPCs. Building from a simple survival game project in Unity, you’ll learn various techniques to add animated NPC models to the world that can flee from the player, chase the player, attack the player, and drop items. You’ll also get the chance to amplify the world further with post-processing effects, providing you with fundamental skills to create lively and beautiful-looking game levels.
You will learn how to:
Create a multipurpose NPC class
Set up a NavMesh for navigation
Control NPC actions with a state machine
Implement combat and loot drops
Apply animations to NPCs
Adjust aesthetics with post-processing effects
