About me
Emanuele Villani — Game Developer & Unity Instructor
I am Emanuele Villani, a Game Developer specialized in video game development using Unity and C#.
Over the years, I have worked on independent games, experimental prototypes and international game jam projects, focusing mainly on gameplay systems design, including player controllers, enemy AI, combat systems, game interfaces and level architecture.
My software development journey began in the iOS mobile world, where I developed in Swift the app Caccia all’Invisibile, a digital project created to raise awareness against bullying that received national media attention in Italy.
Later, I fully transitioned into game development with Unity, concentrating on gameplay mechanics, character behavior systems and scalable project architecture.
I have participated in multiple international game jams, experiences that taught me how to design, develop and deliver functional game prototypes under tight deadlines while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams of artists, designers and programmers.
Achievements

5th Place — Global Game Jam Rome 2024

Alongside production, I also work as a game development instructor, teaching Unity and C# programming at the international coding school Kodland.
During my teaching career, I have guided many students in creating their first video games, helping them understand not only how to use Unity, but how to think like real game developers when designing gameplay systems.
On Udemy, I bring the same mindset I use in professional development: clear explanations, practical examples and step-by-step construction of real systems.
Inside my courses, you will not find isolated exercises or outdated theory-only lessons. You will build complete projects designed to teach how modern video games are actually created.
If your goal is to learn game development from the ground up and start building real gameplay systems with Unity, you are in the right place.
Welcome to production.
