Learning Path: Game Development with Unity and Blender

Course details

Do you want to move from just playing games to developing them? Do you wish to play the games created by you?

Unity 5 has become the leader among game development engines. Blender is known in the 3D graphics world as the open-source tool of choice for generating graphical products. Blender and Unity stand out from the crowd as a powerful combination that allows small-to-no budget indie developers or hobbyists alike to develop games that they have always dreamt of creating.

Game Development with Unity and Blender is Packt's Video Learning Path that is a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

This Learning Path first introduces the Unity engine. It shows how to use the interface and how to build levels, and culminates in the creation of a simple game. The core features and fundamentals are explored in a fun and practical way, encouraging the development of real-world projects while establishing a solid understanding of game development principles.

Develop your Unity skills further by exploring scripting and gameplay mechanics. You'll understand the fundamentals of using C# scripts in Unity to build valuable gameplay elements, such as timers and moving objects. Then, you'll move onto building a solid foundation for engineering more complex behaviors.

Finally, learn how to implement game logic and basic artificial intelligence, and deploy the game for others to play.

The goal of this course to help you master the skills required to develop your dream game from scratch..
