Let’s explore the Legacy Game Sample project for Amazon’s new game engine, Lumberyard. It’s a single
level shooter originally built for CryEngine. I’ll quickly show you how to set this project up and run
it in the editor. Then we go in-game and see the (sometimes) beautiful realtime graphics. Watch as I
fumble with the controls trying to figure out how to murder chickens and throw grenades. I look more
into the editor. Specifically I show you how to select an object, how to set your default code editor,
and how to drop in new a GeomEntity. Then we review a geometry entity’s basic Lua script. Lastly I try
to add other characters to the game and crash the beta engine.
Let me know what you think and what you want me to cover next:
