Description
Learn how to make interactive 2D adventure games in Unity 5! In this comprehensive course, instructor Alan Thorn demonstrates a wide range of 2D features and tools for making a 2D platform adventure. Targeted to intermediate users, see how to create a player character, functional physics, interactive characters and dangerous obstacles. Explore subjects, such as: sprites, player controls, character animation, balancing gameplay, collisions detection, and a questing system. In addition, see how to import and configure 2D assets optimally for 2D functionality and how to design and build complete levels that ooze atmosphere. There’s plenty to see and do in this fun course, and by the end you’ll have established a solid foundation both in making 2D games generally and in working smart to create your own adventure games in no time!
