Description
Learn how to create a turn-based strategy game similar to Civilization game series in Unity 2021.



Learn how to create a well structured code base using UnityEvents, C# Interfaces while keeping the game fun by adding a custom outline shader, making selected Units flash and overall adding feedback so that the player knows exactly what is going on in the game.



We will cover how to:

Create a turn-based system in unity

Make units use movement points for movement

How to select stacked Units

Create simple AI that works with the turn-based system (bandits that will attack player units)

Create different units: Warrior, Farmer, Town building etc

Create a building system where Farmers can place towns and other structures

Create a Simple Economy system / build only what you can afford

How to use pathfinding algorithm (Breadth-first search) to show movement range

How to use custom outline shader to add feedback to our game

How to add SFX / VFX feedback to our game

How to create a Fog Of War for our game



In this course we use premade UI elements - I don't explain how to create those elements. We will also not cover how to create a main menu or save the game. The course is focused on creating a turn-based game mechanics and a game prototype that you can extend with your own features.



We will focused on making our code base well designed whenever possible so that we can easily add new features to the project and so that you can easily understand what each class does in or code.



At the end of the course you will have a prototype of a game similar to Civilization series and you will understand how to modify it / extend it with your own features. We will not create a shippable game - just the game mechanics that you would expect to see in a turn-based 2D game.



I hope that you will enjoy this course!
