uMOBA - Create your own Dota/League of Legends Game

uMOBA - the first multiplayer MOBA project on the Asset Store!
(Asset Store) (WebGL Demo) (Chat) (Documentation)

About:
The previous uMMORPG asset solved a lot of difficult networking issues. Many developers wanted to learn how to create a Dota/League of Legends style MOBA game with Unity, so we created one!

uMOBA is developed by @vis2k and @ArtsyChen. Please post your questions and feature requests in this thread. We will keep you up to date about any changes here!

FAQ:

• Who are you? I am the guy who made https://noobtuts.com, which has many Unity tutorials that some of you may already know.

 

We'll be around for any questions/ comments!

 

sounds great. Any demo video available?

 

Yes, but it looks weird because we are still missing the animations. Will have a decent demo out soon!

 

Subscribing to this.

 

bookmarked !!!

 

Here is another screenshot of our hero:

 

The Fog of War and wards system should be necessary...

 

Added it to the roadmap. The effect where players don't see other players that are too far away is rather easy, all we have to do is use UNET's NetworkProximityChecker. The actual 'fog' effect is another story.

 

Any handling for player reconnection?

 

It's on the roadmap now! Just letting them reconnect is easy. The challenge is to save their hero, gold, items etc. and then assign them to the correct person. If multiple people reconnect at once, that could be difficult. Will see what we can do.

 

Subscribed! Very interesting!!!

 

Can this Spawn pets/minions at player position or somewhere in the map? And skills for pets/minions?

 

Well I don't think the pet system is major in a moba style game...It's a little bit...strange...lol.

 

You can spawn anything via UNET's NetworkServer.Spawn easily. Minions will have a default attack in V1.0.

 

How is it going? please update some screenshots! Can't wait for this!

 

It's going great! I am currently testing the code to find any remaining issues. Found one yesterday that I will work on today, will be an easy fix though.

The animation issues that we talked about are mostly solved too. We will put the art and the code together soon, then we will have a playable WebGL demo for everyone.

We will submit V1.0 to the store very soon. Probably in less than 2 weeks!

 

Sound great! Is there any way to preorder then being beta tester during your development? or hand on it once you submit to AssetStore? Waiting for approval on it is really painful

 

There is no way to preorder, we want to do it all over the Asset Store. Setting up a preorder page would consume time, which is better spent working on the project.

But we will make the WebGL demo available when submitting to the store, so that everyone can test it already while it's still under review!

Here is another screenshot of our hero ingame, with his weapon and in the idle position:


And the Lobby, which is based on Unity's Network Lobby asset from the Asset Store:

 

Will the game contain singleplayer AI? or a trainings mode?

 

You can play it alone by selecting 'PLAY AND HOST', but without any enemy heroes. Singleplayer AI isn't really planned yet, we will consider it if more people request it.

 

I'd prefer a simple AI script, while a more complex one should be customed by user themselves.

 

For sure, AI is also very useful for new game title as well! and simple AI script is enough for getting started!

 

I added 'AI' to the roadmap in the first post!
Note that it probably won't be in the first few game versions, because we want to get the core perfectly smooth first.

 

Any good news since the last post? Please keep me up-to-date ^_^

 

We submitted it to the Asset Store a few days ago. The review process takes 5-10 business days, so it should be live soon!

 

Wow.. nice. I am also one of your uMMORPG user. Cant wait to buy this asset, You should make more screenshot while we waiting available in asset store :d..
hope there will be an introductory price

 

Glad to hear that.

Here is one of the screenshots that will be on the Asset Store page. Let us know what you think!

 

Waiting for approval would be really painful. Sometime it take 3 days, sometime 3 weeks or more..

 

I am sure it will be released within the next 7 days. Usually the Asset Store team is pretty fast and the Madness Sale is over soon too.

 

Here's a sneak peak at what I'm been working on for uMOBA: themed units and bases! They will be part of future updates as I finish each asset, look forward to it!

 

Look like 7-days is going pass soon

 

Looks interesting.

Question :- Does it comes with Mobile Control/Pad ?

Thanks

 

already on the store...

 

oh yeah, it's here! finally
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/62542
and YES, mobile support!

 

Good news: as others mentioned, it's finally accepted and can be found on the asset store (see the link in the first post). We are here for all of your issues and questions. The next version will be submitted very soon too!

For everyone that purchased it: you can open the NetworkLobby scene and press "Play and Host" to actually play the game. And you can open the World scene to see the game world.

What do you mean with that?

 

This is awesome something I've wanted to see on the store for a while but it is missing some essential MOBA features that are required for any MOBA to really function

Character selection pre-game - Right now you just get dropped in to the game as an Orc and sent away, all mobas for all time make you select a character in the lobby before the game starts, most force you to wait until its a full game before the game starts too.

A Click - Attack click is vital for a MOBA game to function properly it's not an MMO where slow combat is the norm, players need to be able to move around fast to farm (A click is where you press A for attack and click on the ground you then move to that spot and attack any/the first enemy you hit)

Items/Item shop - Right now seems like you can't buy any items at least from what I can tell, this again is vital. Whilst I see the shops you can visit, in a MOBA you normally just press a key and it opens the window rather than having to talk to someone like an RPG

Leveling - Again levelling here seems to be handled like an MMO, you gain a level and can only get the next move, rather than the move you want/upgrading a move, the player at level one should start with one move of there choice, and then as they level be able to select Q, W, E moves to collect or upgrade, and at what ever level the creator decides allow them to upgrade there R/Ultimate move.

I loved you MMORPG kit, but this kit just feels like its missing a lot of MOBA features. I could be wrong of course, but from playing the demo game I am going to wait to see how this kit develops even if it cost a bit more, right now it's just missing a lot of vital stuff that MOBA games require. I can't wait to see it develop though, I trust vis due to his experience with the UMMORPG kit, so I hope this kit develops just as much as that one did!

Edit: The documentation talks about an MMO not a MOBA game so it feels like that documentation isn't done for this kit yet, as this is the documentation linked on the store page, again it could just be that you're referring to MMOs as an example might be a good idea to just change these to "moba" games to avoid confusion

Quote "The player's health and mana are also level dependent in most MMORPGs, hence why there are hpMax and mpMax arrays too. We can find out a players's max health in level 1 by using hpMax[0] and so on."
And
"A lot of MMORPGs have problems with gravity, falling through the level or walking through thin walls."

 

Progress Info: V1.1 was submitted for review. Changes can be seen in the first post!

Thanks for your feedback.

• Character Selection: added it to the roadmap. Will come soon, no doubt.
• Click attack: makes sense too. See roadmap.
• Item shop: in most MOBAs you still have to walk to the base and talk to the NPC in order to buy things. We could easily add the option to show the sales window with a hotkey from anywhere though.
• Leveling: good point too, and already possible. This is as simple as setting the default attack skill to 'learndefault = false'. Will probably do that by default in the next version too.
• About more features: you are completely right. What you may or may not know is that the asset store team decides if your asset gets onto the store or not. So spending one year of time on a fully featured MOBA asset just to have it declined would be a nightmare. This is why developers usually try to submit V1.0 as soon as possible, to see if it will be accepted or not. Afterwards we can spend more time on features without risking so much. Also note that this is a networking game, so being stable is one of the biggest feature already.
• About the documentation: thanks, we must have missed that. Changed it in the online documentation already.

 

I didn;t know that about the asset store so it makes a lot of sense that you'd submit a less featured build than the one you intend to end with, I happily await the updates then, as I said I am a big fan of your MMO kit so I have no doubts you will do the MOBA genre justice too

 

hi
good work
is it compatible with mobile?
in your updats pls work on more compability with mobile

 

Should work fine. Unity's UI works on mobile by default. So all that's left is movement, and that works on mobile too.

 

Progress Info: looking into a UNET bug related to NetworkStartPosition today. It's nothing to worry about because uMOBA uses a workaround, but it would be nice if we get it resolved. We are also working on the monster art, will have some more screenshots soon!

 

Any chance to get wasd movement in here also?

 

That would be easy to implement. But it would also break the QWER style skill system, so we are a bit hesitant to implement that. Maybe if more people request it, or maybe in form of a how-to in the documentation.

 

I own ummo also so I guess I can just move it over easily. I have a good reason to want different movement options. Ill probably give users the ability to toggle it on and off in options.

 

Yes, you could move it over easily, it won't break anything (except the skill hotkeys, but you can change them easily).

 

Update: V1.1 is now on the Asset Store! Changes can be seen in the first post.

And V1.2 was submitted for review!

 

Version 1.2 fixes the exact issue I was going to come here about so that's awesome! (The skill system QWER and an auto attack) Cannot wait, the amount of quick updates is so cool to see.

 

Thanks again for pointing that out. Please let us know about any bugs/issues that you can find!

 

Update: V1.2 is now on the Asset Store! Changes can be seen in the first post.
