Unity 2018 Game Development

This course is 100% brand new built from scratch. It is designed to teach you all of the core concepts of Unity as well as common game development practices.

You will build both 2D and 3D games – starting with simple games and moving to more advanced topics.

This Unity 2018 course is designed after our highly popular Unity 2016 course which had fantastic reviews:

• “I’m a complete novice as game developer, and Devslopes has already taught me tons of stuff in a span of two weeks so far to make a decent game” – Ian

• “Let me start this by saying I have many learning disabilities and I have always struggled with learning much more then the average student. Ive been trying to learn code for YEARS. I took a chance on this course as my last hope and im so glad that I did. This is THE BEST course you will find on C# on Unity. If you are debating buying this course, I guarantee if you take the risk you won’t regret it.” – H Carty

Establishing familiarity before hands-on work will help them understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.

Focus Topics

• C# Variables and Functions

• C# Loops

• Object-Oriented Programming

• Conditional Logic

• Code Reusability (DRY Principle)

Game Basics: Haunted Zombie Rush

2.5D endless runner game. Features coroutine-driven rock obstacles which the zombie (pc) must avoid. This section teaches the basics of developing in Unity. It provides students with the opportunity to work with 3D models, learn about what colliders and Rigidbodies do, and how to effectively use two very important functions in the Unity game loop, Update() and FixedUpdate(). It’s a great way to start learning by developing a fully functional game.
