First Steps with Unity: Installation and Core Skills

What makes Unity so special, and why has it become such a popular game engine? We would answer this question, which I get asked quite often.

Then we would set up the complete Unity development environment, step by step. From the first download to the very last step, you need to start developing.

I will introduce you to the Unity Editor interface and system, and explain the basic concepts and terminology you must know to communicate with other team members. Terminology like: Game Object, Component, Scenes, Hierarchy, Inspector, System Layout.

I will show you the core skills you need to have in order to work in Unity, like: Export and Import files between projects, Creating and duplicating game objects, Moving objects in 3D space.

Lastly, I also provide a Minecraft-style Unity project, where you could practice these skills, and a short checklist of tasks and questions you could use to check your knowledge before you continue forward with other projects.

This course intends to take you from absolutely zero prior technical knowledge, to a level where you can open projects in Unity and run them on your PC.

This course is part of the FLUX Unity Club, so you’re not working in isolation. We are a community focused on Unity developers on all levels, where you can ask questions, share progress, and get personalized support as you continue building beyond this project.
