Unreal Engine 5 - Lyra Starter Game First Look

Today we are going to be checking out the Unreal Engine 5 Lyra Starter Game. Lyra is a third person shooter game that is both singleplayer and multiplayer. It is a base project that you can use to create your own game, however there are some drawbacks that I mention in the video!

    Hey smart poly, you mention to write in the comment section if people would like the character reskinned. yes please, I think I managed to retarget with the new IK retarget system, but can't figure how to replace the character with mine. even the controls they are not using the action events in the Input preferences. even though they teach it that way in their start a game from example.

    1) Do bots know how to jump yet???? 2) If yes, can you look in the map and see if they are using special [coded] Jump Nav points or something telling them the spots they can jump? Or can they jump anywhere they think they can reach - to get to the player? This is very important, ty.

    I wish they actually made step by step guides on replication... Feels like the blueprints alone can't do enough. The gameplay ability system does sound interesting... I have to take a look. I would love to add smooth replication system on one of my projects but it's been one of the most painful things when developing especially when the project wasn't started from the replication in mind (came up later that it would be cool).

    Multiplayer third person shooter games are garbage. Why? Because you can stand behind cover and look at other players, and peak and the most convenient time. And imo, there is no competitive aspect to a third person shooter game. Single player sure, got nothing against that.
