Only Free Assets are used in this course from the FAB Marketplace and Mixamo website. Course is currently in the Release-1. This Course will be updated with new features in the subsequent releases.
This Course is Step-By-Step and to the point. A new Game Feature Plugin RPGCore will be created from Scratch. You will get a very good Hands-On experience by using different features in the Lyra Framework using practical usecases.
