Requirements
Before starting this course you should understand the basics of Unity. Like saving scenes, navigating the interface, using the three basic manipulation tools (Translate, Rotate and Scale), create prefabs and add and modify components inside the inspector.
You should have a strong understanding of the basics of C#, such as creating variables, modifying those and calling functions.
Description
In this game creation course, my brother and I will bring you through the process of making a 2D platformer game using Unity and C#.This is an all-time classic genre, a blank canvas to let your imagination run wild!––––––––––––––-We'll begin by learning how to make a solid player controller, with wall jumping and sliding. Then we will go on a fun journey bringing to life unique enemy characters such as a shooting warlock, a flying bat that avoids obstacles, and a patrolling goblin! So you can expect some simple but fun tutorials on AI.You'll learn how to make moving platforms, a flexible camera, and weapon pickup and switching.If you've ever wondered how to make an easy unlockable level system, then that's covered too!Get ready to dive into the universe of particle effects and game juice, learning how to make attacks and jumps more satisfying with sound effects and screen shake for example!I'll share some useful and easy to implement tips and tricks to make your platformer game environments shine with soft overlays for lighting, parallax to add depth to the world, little trees and grass tufts which move underfoot and post-processing!––––––––––––––-Last but not least, by purchasing this course you'll get access to all the project files. Lots of art, animations, code, sounds, and effects at your disposal! Whatsmore, you'll be able to join the courses unique Discord server and chat with a community of game creators, ask for help if you get stuck, and share your hard work with fellow students!I look forward to seeing what unique worlds you'll bring to life with the course!
