Building a basic multiplayer 3d top down rpg using babylon.js and colyseus
- fully player authorative movement with client side prediction and server reconciliation
- Simple scene management & switching
- multiplayer animated characters
- zoning system (ability to teleport to a different room (eg: a dungeon for example) )
- global chat (works accross zones)
- server controlled collisions (via a navmesh)
- persistence with mysql lite
- 4 abilities ( basic attack, fireball, dot, heal )
- patrolling monsters (with basic FSM states: IDLE, PATROL, CHASE, ATTACK, DEAD)
- selecting characters and monsters
- monsters have a loot table and can drop items
- ability to pick up items and see them in your inventory
- standard UI (experience bar, abilities bar, panels, etc...)
- and more...
