Course Overview
Learn how to create video games using Unity, the world-leading free-to-use game development tool. We start super simple so you need no prior experience of Unity or coding! With our online tutorials, you’ll be amazed what you can achieve right from the first moment you start the course.
Go on to build several games including:
- Snow Boarder: A simple Side-Scrolling jumping game using Unity’s sprite shape tool
- Laser Defender: A Top-Down Space Shooter with enemies to shoot and dodge;
- TileVania: A fast-paced classic Side-Scrolling Platformer using Unity’s Tilemap tool;
- Quiz Master: A Quiz Game that focuses on learning how to set up user interface in Unity.
The course is project-based as we believe this is the best way to learn Unity and C#. You will not just be learning dry programming concepts, but applying them immediately to real indie games as you go. All the project files will be included, as well as additional references and resources – you’ll never get stuck.
For each demo game you build you will follow this process…
- Be challenged to build the entire game yourself.
- Be shown step-by-step how to build it.
- Be challenged to apply, and re-apply your knowledge regularly.
You will learn C# and build a solid foundation for Object Oriented Programming. By the end of the course, you’ll be very confident in the basics of coding and game development, and hungry to learn more.
What this course DOESN’T cover…
Whereas this course is already huge, we can’t possibly cover everything in that time. Here are some things we will not be covering…
- Performance optimization.
- Art asset creation (assets provided but not made on-screen).
- Editor plugins or modifications.
- Physics engine modification
