Making a multiplayer game? Then you need a proper pre-game lobby—somewhere players can choose their loadouts before the match even begins. In this video, I show you how to build it the right way using Player State—so your data is safe, replicated correctly, and ready for multiplayer from day one. 🎬 Episode 1 of 4 is live now: youtu.be/48jff2Y2JEQ Want the full system, start to finish? 👉 Get the complete series on Patreon (from just $1): patreon.com/ryanlaley #gamedev #unreal
