What is this Unity Road to Mastery Series?3:04
Here we'll take a look at the aim of this Unity Game Development Bootcamp, and why you should embark on this journey!
What is Unity?1:43
Here we take a look at the Unity Game Engine, what it is, and why you should use it.
What are the alternatives to Unity?2:36
In this video we explore other alternatives to Unity, like Unreal, Godot, or CryEngine.

How to install Unity?1:59
In this video we explore how to install Unity on your computer using Unity Hub.

Creating a new project with Unity. Templates1:53
Let's create a new Unity project from scratch, and explore the different templates available.
The Unity Workspace8:21
In this video we get to know the Unity Workspace, and the basic navigation tools.
Intro to GameObjects & Components6:17
New to GameObjects and Components? This is your video.
Organize your Layout1:40
Learn how to customize your Layout in this video.
Layers & Tags8:18
Layers and Tags are a common source of errors for beginners and intermediate developers alike. Get to know the difference between them, and how to use them appropriately.
Should you use Layers or Tags?
Basic Unity C# Scripting4:39
Let's explore C# for Unity for the first time. Don't be afraid!
Unity Coordinate System: Y-Up World6:26
Something not explained in other courses, but of uttermost importance, is how the Unity Coordinate System works.
Challenge Time – Moving a Sphere around a Plane4:06
In this challenge, we'll get a Sphere to move over a Plane using the C# Input Class.
Test your C# knowledge
A note about Unity's Script Lifecycle3:15
Challenge Time – Place Two Cubes at Two Random Positions4:52
In this challenge, we'll learn how to instantiate Primitives programmatically from code, and position them randomly in the Game World.
What are Prefabs?6:44
Prefabs, a very useful and powerful concept in Unity. This is one of those core Unity concepts you can't afford to know nothing about.
Types of Assets and the Unity Asset Store5:01
In this video we explore the different types of assets allowed by Unity, and we import our first model from the Unity Asset Store.
Challenge Time – Import a 3D Model From Blender 2.90 into Unity8:28
Finally, in this video we see the export & import workflow from Blender to Unity. We use Blender, but the process is very similar for other 3D Modelling programs like Maya, 3Ds Max, Modo, Cinema4D, and so on. In fact, we shall use Maya or 3Ds Max in a future course, to cover all options.

Requirements

Passion for Game Development. Everything else you will learn from scratch.

Description

Welcome to the Road To Mastery Bootcamp! This Bootcamp is made of 24 courses in total, and they will take you from an absolute beginner to a job-ready, professional Unity game developer.

In this first course, we get to see the most basic aspects of Unity: what it is, how it compares to their competitors, workspace, layouts, game objects, components, layers, tags, basic C# scripting, coordinate systems, prefabs, assets, and much more.

The course is full of challenges, exercises and quizzes to allow for an optimized learning experience. This isn't one of those sit-and-watch types of videos: I actually get YOU to write code, explore the interface, and even try new things not covered in the first course. This is also important because it urges you to do some research and self-study, essential skills in the game development world.

According to PayScale, an average Unity Game Developer earns between $50,000 USD and $121,000 USD. This is the best time to start learning Game Development: it's rewarding, satisfying and well-paid.

Course engagement is achieved mainly through interactive exercises and the student community itself. Please don't hesitate to reach me out for questions, requests and more. Finally, it's worth nothing that my idea is to keep this course updated, including new videos, articles, or quizzes.

Hoping to have you in this thrilling journey!
