What is included?

Let’s take a look at the learning journey. The course starts with an introduction to game ees and installation procedures of Unity. From there, the course introduces you to the Unity interface, and teaches you how to build levels. You’ll understand the core Unity concepts such as game objects, components, and scenes. Finally, you’ll learn how to use Unity by making four fun game projects, from shooters and platformers to exploration and adventure games.

By the end of the course, you should have a solid understanding of game development principles and be able to create your own games in no !

Why should I choose this course?

We’ve spent the last decade working to help developers stay relevant. The structure of this course is a result of deep and intensive research into what real-world developers need to know in order to be job-ready. We don’t spend too long on theory, and focus on practical results so that you can see for yourself how things work in action.

This course follows an example-based approach that will take you through the most basic games toward the more complex ones, gradually building your skill level. It’s a blend of text, videos, code examples, and assessments, which together makes your learning journey all the more exciting and truly rewarding. It includes sections that form a sequential flow of concepts covering a focused learning path presented in a modular manner. This helps you learn a range of topics at your own speed and also move towards your goal of learning Unity.Testimonials
