Unity basics

In this course, we will cover the basics of the Unity game engine. Unity comes in two versions: a free and a pro version. We'll be recording using the pro version, but most everything we cover can be done in the free version as well. I will let you know in the few videos where we cover pro-only features. The Unity game engine can be used on either Mac or Windows machines. As Unity game development encompasses an eclectic mixture of skill sets, I'll be working off the assumption that you have a passion for creating games but not necessarily experience in any or all of the fields we will be making use of.

Knowledge of 2D texture making, 3D modeling and animation, programming and real-time game engines is a plus but not crucial to this essential training course. In Unity, most of the functionality has to be scripted, and while there is a massive amount of freely available scripts floating around in the Unity community, figuring out how and where to use them can be frustrating and intimidating. To that end, I've designed this course to take you through the basic Unity feature set while learning how to write scripts to tie everything together.
