Hack & Slash is a Unity3d tutorial series with focus on creating a basic, but playable RPG style game. We will start with a few basic scripts to get use to C# scripting, but then gradually go deeper into the language as we learn such topics as Object Oriented Programming (OOP). At the end of this basic set of tutorials, we will have a decent solo playable rpg style of game that can be played on the web with Unity3D's web player, or as a stand alone version. During the advanced set of tutorials, we will be looking at ways to add a multi-player element to our game. This phase should include a lobby system, and a way to instantiate small worlds to hold a small group of three to five players.
