Description
Learn the ins and outs of building 2D games in Unity 2018 from the ground up. We will cover working in the engine, GameObjects & Components in detail, many coding topics, and building art assets from a technical perspective. We will start from basics and there will be example scripts for you to download, test, and use if you wish throughout many of the tutorials provided in the course. With a focus on coding, I will be showing you advanced techniques such as Dependency Injection to make your scripts more loosely coupled and easier to make changes to later on and Unit testing through the Unity Test Runner. Several external tools will be covered as well to help you in creating your game (Pyxel Edit for Pixel Art, BFXR for Sound Effects, etc). Here are some of the Unity basics that will be covered in the courseRigidbodies and 2D kinematic game physicsAdding, using, and manipulating components on game objectsWorkflows in Unity and learning how to work more efficientlyManipulating audio sources for sound playback during events and animationAdding lighting to 2D sprite objects in the game engine.
