🎉 NEW Added Much Awaited Content to the Course! 🎮

Introduction: Making a video game can be both an exhilarating and daunting task. It's a journey that involves understanding not just one, but several components of game design and development. In this course, we simplify this process by creating a fun 3D game using the Unity game engine, which you can play on both Windows and Mac OS platforms. Our goal is to demystify the game development process and empower you to build your own games from scratch.

What You'll Learn:

• Master C# Basics: Dive into the fundamentals of C# with an emphasis on variables, if statements, and more. This is where your coding journey begins!
• Interactive Elements: Detect collisions, receive user input, and create smooth player movements to make your game interactive and engaging.
• Enemy AI & Game Mechanics: Create enemies with basic AI behavior and implement mechanics like collectibles and destructible objects to keep players challenged and entertained.
• Animation & Physics: Build the Animation Systems within Unity, understand Quaternions for rotations, and control objects influenced by Unity's physics system.
• Audio Effects: Implement sound effects, background music, and particle effects to give your game a rich auditory experience.
• Unity Navigation & Pathfinding (Navmesh): Learn how to implement Navigation and Pathfinding to create complex behaviors in your characters.
• Asset Store Exploration: Navigate the Unity Engine and discover unique features such as the Asset Store, where you can find assets to enhance your game's visual appeal.

Step by Step Learning: We will start with a blank project and progressively build our game environment. Every line of code will be explained step by step, ensuring that even beginners can follow along. While some prior knowledge of scripting is beneficial, we strive to cover the basics thoroughly to accommodate learners at various levels.

Game Development in Unity: This course also covers using animated objects with Unity's physics system and teaches you about Quaternions for dealing with rotations. By adding collectibles, an enemy bird AI, and more, you'll create a game that's not only fun to play but also showcases your newfound skills.
