Link Visual Studio 2022 to Unity

If you have update Visual Studio recently, you may find that it is not linking properly to Unity. If it doesn’t link properly it means the intellisense prompts won’t work, so you won’t get hints, auto complete or warnings.

To correctly link Visual Studio to Unity just follow the video above

Learn Unity C# for beginners

Start making games in Unity by learning the basics of Unity C# scripting

Do you want to learn to create games in Unity but feel confused by C# scripting? In this course I am going to cover all the basic concepts of C# coding to get you to a beginner level in Unity game design.

This course is intended for people who have little to no experience of C# scripting. It is perfect for people who have never scripted before as we look in detail at each concept of C# scripting. We first cover the theory and then you get opportunities to try them out. Toward the end of the course we put these concepts into use by creating a complete beginner level game.

We cover concepts such as:

functions and methods

Input events

Variable data types

Arrays

Conditional statements

Moving and rotating objects using code

Accessing and manipulating components

Physics interactions

Animations

Scripting for a user interface

These are the most common things you will be doing when making beginner level games. When we have finished the theory, I will be guiding you step by step through the production of a target shooter game so that you will see how these scripting concepts work using real world examples.

I guarantee that by the end of this course you will have developed new skills in coding and you will feel confident making your own games upto a beginner level. You will also have created your first Unity game.

So, if you want to start creating games in Unity, why not enrol today and I look forward to seeing you in my course.

Unreal Engine 5 MetaHuman deepfake

Does this guy look familiar? This is a Metahuman game ready character in Unreal Engine 5!

Testing the new UE5 metahuman (mesh to metahuman, metahuman creator ) with face replacements (deep fake live) to generate a similar corresponding image in the actor’s likeness, in terms of perspective, lighting, and facial expressions.

Unity Zombie Tower Defence Game

Find Out More

Tower defence games are continuing to gain in popularity online. In this course I am going to show you how to create your own zombie tower defence game.

When I was creating this course I was initially thinking, should it be an overhead tower defence style game, or should it be a first person shooter style game. Well, when you have two great ideas, why not combine them. So this is a Hybrid of both overhead point and click as well as first person shooter.

The techniques covered in this course can be used to make any type of defence style games. Think of this as a template that you can use again and again and you can customise the game any way you like to realise your vision.

So what is covered in the course:

We develop a system for placing props into the level, with the ability to change items using an easy to create User Interface
Items can be placed freehand, or by pressing the spacebar, can be made to snap together either horizontally or vertically
Each item will have different purposes. Some will simply block the zombies, some will damage the zombies, some will blow them up, and in the case of the gun turrets, these will target and shoot the zombies
Once you have laid out your items the zombies will then begin spawning into the scene and you will enter into first person mode
You can change between overhead and first person modes to quickly navigate the map
We will setup a range of weapon types, ammo amounts and damage styles for each weapon, including sniper scope for the sniper rifle
You will have access to six zombies that I created for this course. You can use them in any of your other games too
The objective is to defend the tower. You must kill all the zombies on each level to unlock the next level

This course can be taken by anyone using the free Unity game engine. A basic understanding of C# code is suggested for you to make the most of this course. By the end of the course you will have another completed game in your portfolio. You will have developed your skills to an intermediate level and be ready to make your own Unity games.

So why not enroll today, and I look forward to seeing you in my course.
