Unity Engine intro for absolute beginners!

In this course, we will take a first look at the Unity Engine. We'll go through the very basics, such as the most common windows and how to import assets into your game folders, as well as make a build for testing. There will be no programming this time, and you will not leave the course having made a complete game. What you will have is a solid foundation to build on when you keep learning!
