In this game dev course you'll learn how to make a 2D turn by turn strategy game using Unity, C# and Photoshop (or a free alternative).
Here is a list of the keys things that you will learn by watching this course:
First of all you'll gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to create an entire game from A to Z, from art to programming to sounds to game design! By the end of the course you'll be able to make your very own 2D local multiplayer strategy games, which you can share with family and friends.
The game we will bring to life is simple, but will teach you the fundamentals of many tactic/strategy games such as turn by turn systems, attack & defense, moving characters on grid like environments, placing units, gaining resources and more! All with the C# programming language- if you uderstand the basics of coding, then this is the perfect opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of those fundamentals (such as functions, arrays, vectors, if statements) and learn extra tips and tricks related to turn by turn games.
You'll also learn how to make your own game characters. Starting with sketching, inking and coloring using a 2D art application like Photoshop (but most of what is taught can be done using free alternatives, such as Gimp or Krita).
We will also learn how to rig and animate those characters inside of Unity using a simple bone based method.
There will also be tutorials on particle effects, sounds, game juice and UI. Everything that is needed to make a game will be covered in well edited, fun, engaging videos. This course will immerse you in the life of a game creator, as you go on an epic journey to bring your visions to life.
