Pew Pew Arrgh, PPA for short, is a Tech Demo/Sample Project made with the Photon Quantum multiplayer engine.

The goal of this project was to showcase all of the new deterministic 3D simulation features available in Quantum; in particular the physics, navmesh and KCC. With this explicit purpose in mind, ATOS thus designed cooperative FPS PvE arena shooter that would highly and exemplify the best practices for working in Quantum. The gameplay is action heavy, and focuses on player cooperation to survive hordes of enemies. Although it is a survival game, the gameplay revolves around the action of survival rather than the individual tatics employed to do so. This is translates into a very tight core loop which can be summarizes as "Boom, Bang, New weapons, Different Boom, More Bang!".
No given player can survives all by their loneself and has to work together with their team mates to remain alive. Should a player die, they will respawn as soon as one of their team mates is in a relative secure position. Reminiscent of old arcades games, PPA only ends one way... with everybody dead! The emphasis is placed on players learning from their mistakes thus improving their team play each time to boot up the game.

The highlights of this sample project are:

• - Deterministic multiplayer
• - 2-4 player real-time co-op wave based zombie survival FPS
• - 3D graphics & game simulation
• - 3D Physic driven interactions between static & dynamic objects, as well as dynamic & dynamic objects
• - 3D player movement (run & walk) with Quantum KCC
• - Throwing grenades that explode on impact with zombies but bounce off other entities
• - NPCs that use the Quantum NavMesh with BotSDK to move after players
• - A Game Controller in charge of the game state (Waves, Victory & defeat conditions) made purely with BotSDK
• - Notification system for global and player specific notifications
• - Switching between two different weapons & grenades via pick-ups
• - Individual player health & respawn system
• - Data Asset polymorphism and functionality encapsulation
• - Custom Quantum DSL component with added functionality
• - Reusable Baking system

The sample project was made with:

• - Quantum SDK 1.2.4 F1
• - Quantum BotSDK RC3
• - Unity 2019.2.4f1
• - Post Processing Stack 2.1.7
