What Is Unity Games by Tutorials?
Unity Games by Tutorials is for complete beginners to Unity, or for those who’d like to bring their Unity skills to a professional level. Its goal is to teach you everything you need to know to make your own Unity games – via hands-on experience.
In Unity Games by Tutorials, you’ll learn how to build four games:
- A twin-stick shooter
- A first-person shooter
- A tower defense game (with VR support!)
- A 2D platfomer
Build stunning, realistic games — including a tower defense game in VR!
By the end of this book, you’ll be ready to make your own games for Windows, macOS, iOS, and more!
This book is for complete beginners to Unity, or for those who’d like to bring their Unity skills to a professional level. The book assumes you have some prior programming experience (in a language of your choice).
If you are a complete beginner programming, we recommend you learn some basic programming skills first. A great way to do that is to watch our free Beginning C# with Unity series, which will get you familiar with programming in the context of Unity.
The games in the book are made with C#. If you have prior programming experience but are new to C#, don’t worry – the book includes an appendix to give you a crash course on C# syntax.
