SpatialOS GDK Third-Person Shooter game

This project is a sample third-person shooter deathmatch game which uses the SpatialOS GDK for Unreal.

It is both a reference project and a starting point for those building games on SpatialOS and Unreal Engine 4. In the game, you can join a team, run around, shoot characters on other teams, and spawn "test cubes" (which are cubes you can shoot around).

For setup instructions, follow the Get started guide in the GDK for Unreal documentation. This guide uses the GDK for Unreal Starter Project as an example. When you follow the installation instructions, you need to replace the "Starter Project" repository with the Third-Person Shooter one.

For more information, see the SpatialOS GDK for Unreal documentation.
