Description
A 2D game will be developed from scratch and you’ll quickly learn the basics of game development and more.
Perfect for Middle and High School students and just about anyone else who wants to get started developing games. No programming experience at all is required - just an interest in creating a game in Unity, the same software used to create Pokemon Go and so many other best selling games! You’ll painlessly learn the basics of scripting too, because the videos introduce scripting as necessary along the way in both Part I and Part II of the course.
You’ll be amazed at how fast you can learn Unity. And, you’ll quickly become confident with all the game-creating basics. The pace of each video is designed for ease of learning, and not designed to cram as much as possible into each lesson. As an option, for those of you who want to continue game development using more features of Unity, the Part II course is available to add to your journey…
And more good news: the Unity basics, features, tools, and principles you learn in this this course apply to all Unity games and apps you may develop! So no time is wasted learning 2D first - it's super fun, easy, and fast coming up to speed in Unity and then gaining the confidence to design and attack your next game. And that next game can be an AR, VR, 3D, or whatever you want because you'll have the knowledge to learn these new features quickly. Btw, I'm thinking about creating a 3D AR version of this game that can be played on your Android or Apple phone but also on the exciting META smartglasses (and possibly others). If you think you would be interested in such a course, please send me a message that you would be interested :) Thanks.
