- You must have own playMaker to follow along with this course
Description
Important! To following along with this course you must own playMaker. It can be purchased on the Unity Asset Store! It is also one of the best Unity Assets you will find.
This game design was inspired by some of the most popular Life Simulator Games. Specifically, in this course we implement many of the features in Homeless?. It is available on the Google Play Store.
This course is for anyone who wishes to build a Life Simulator Game in Unity3D using a visual development tool called playMaker. With playMaker, you can make entire games without writing a single line of code. In fact, in this course we build and entire working Life Simulator game without a single line of C# code. The entire project is 100% playMaker visual diagrams.
Learn the power of visual programming:
Perfect for making your very first video game ever! Requires Unity3D (Free to download) & playMaker
Start from the very beginning and follow step-by-step. The course is designed for complete beginners
This course is fast paced and focused on building your game. Although this is for beginners these are not boring lectures with fillers. Each lecture you will be learning to design games and building on your game
Learn to build a complete game in Unity 3D with no C# programming required for any of the game.
Focus on incremental development skills will help you create you own games
Clear, easy to understand lectures that are paced to make it fun and easy to learn Unity3d & PlayMaker

Great starting off point for those who wish to get into game development or expand their range of skills
Why would an experienced C#, Python, or Javascript programmer be interested in PlayMaker?
There are several reasons why even experienced programmers may wish to experiment with PlayMaker.
Building games in PlayMaker vs C# allows you to look at game development from a different perspective.
As a developer myself who has written code in dozens of languages, it is often refreshing to build games in a visual tool like PlayMaker. A break from coding and still making games can be fun.
How you approach the design and how you build up your game has unique solutions and challenges you will not face when writing typical C# games.
It is relatively easy for an experienced C# developer to write actions that work with PlayMaker. This allows you to use PlayMaker as a state machine and for managing high level functions of your game design while using C# for more complex calculations and algorithms that can be tedious to code using a visual tool.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wishes to learn how to create games
- Game Developers who learn better visually or who have struggled learning how to code
- Experienced developers who wish to look at game development from a different perspective
- Anyone interested in learning Unity3d & PlayMaker by making a fun game
- Beginning programmers who wish to experiment with visual programming

Founder Greg Moss has been a business application and game developer for more than 30 years. Unlike the typical boring reference courses that simply walk you through options and commands like reading a dictionary, Greg produces fun courses in which either learn the tools by creating exciting games or you learn by using the tools to solve real world problems.
Greg focuses on development solutions and design patterns that get the job done!
First Class Game Studios
Greg is the founder of First Class Game Studios, fun game studio that led off with a cutting edge highly experimental game project NeuroMage, a game that combines exciting spell-casting duels, gorgeous imagery, and cutting-edge biosensor technology.
Using NeuroSky's Mindwave - a research-grade wireless EEG headset - Greg created a game in which you learn to harness the power of your own mind to build an arsenal of powerful spells and defeat your opponent.
Greg has taken what he has learned through many years of business and game design architecture and put into making fun Udemy courses.
Odoo Class Videos
Odoo Class is recognized as the #1 resource for professional Odoo videos. Hundreds of Odoo Developers, Odoo Partners, and Odoo integrators have subscribed to Odoo Class to further their knowledge of Odoo.
Now we are taking what we have learned in Odoo training and making the best Odoo videos and bringing our best courses to Udemy students.
Starting with our first video products Odoo 8 Essentials and Ubuntu Workshop OdooClass has now built a library of more than 200 professional Odoo videos.
Greg is also author of Working With Odoo. Available on Amazon.
We are excited to bring these latest courses to Udemy.
Here is what some Odoo Class subscribers have said about our Odoo videos:
I am completely new to Linux, Python, Postgres and everything Odoo. Odooclass videos have been pivotal in my learning process and in my opinion is the best resource out there for beginners especially for those like me migrating from an entirely different development background. The videos are very clear and relevant. I would highly recommend them to anyone new to Odoo.
- Peter S.
I just wanted to say that the videos are great and have really opened my eyes to the capabilities with Odoo.
- Joey K.
First off I want to comment on all of the quality video editions you have recently added to your library. They have been tremendously helpful and I have been recommending your service to many people.
- John P.
I recommend Odoo Class for anyone want to learn odoo, they have a very high quality videos for both functional and technical
