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.
Unity Zombie Tower Defence Game
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.

Unity Pro Builder Warehouse
In this course I am going to be showing you how to use Unity Pro builder to create a modular warehouse building.
- Pro builder is a free 3D design package, much like Blender or Maya that you can use directly inside of Unity.
- I will be taking you through the process of modelling and texturing individual modular items that can later be pieced together to build larger assets for your games.
- I will be showing you a professional workflow for setting everything up from a blank scene through to a completed project.
- Once we have built all of the modular objects I will then show you the process of snapping items together to build a final piece. Because the items are modular it means you can lay them out in any way you want. So you can build lots of different levels just using the same pieces.
- We will then cover the process of baking light maps and adding post process effects to build a AAA quality scene.
- By the end of this course you will be really confident using Pro builder and you will have developed the skills to go onto design your own 3D assets for your games directly in Unity.
So, why not enrol today and I look forward to seeing you in my course.

Optimising a mobile game in Unity
Creating games for mobile phones is very different than creating games for computers, they require a lot of optimisation techniques. In this course I am going to be covering those optimisation tips and techniques to optimise a game in Unity that is designed specifically for mobile phones and tablets.
We will be designing a Halloween themed shooting game that has an endless wave of enemies that gets faster with each increasing level. I will be showing you how to setup this project correctly, going through the Unity settings, I will be explaining what they do and how to customise for mobile devices.
Then we will begin creating the game, while using Unity profiler to check performance and look at ways to optimise for smooth gameplay and solid frames per second.
We will be focusing on items such as:
Draw calls
Batching
Coroutines
Pooling enemies
And more…
You don’t need any previous experience in coding as I will be taking you through the process step by step, showing you good practice for developing for mobiles.
By the end of this course you will have a fully working game that will easily reach 30 frames per second on older mobiles and 60 frames per second on newer devices, and that’s for both Android and IOS mobiles and tablets.
So why not enrol today and I look forward to seeing you in my course.

Make a Fighting Game in Unity
My new course is now available and on special offer over the Christmas period:
In this course I am going to be showing you how to create your own fighting game inside of the Unity game engine.
- We’re going to be bringing in a series of free characters as well as a wide range of free animations so that each character can have their own unique style.
- We’re going to create a character select screen and we’re also going to setup AI characters, these are computer controlled characters that will fight against you and it will seem as though the AI character is just as effective and just as realistic as a real player. The characters you choose will dynamically load into the level you choose and there are a wide variety of levels to choose from.
- We will also be setting up a 2 player mode and mapping the controls for 2 game pad controllers so you can have two people playing at the same time. You can control characters either by game pad or by keyboard.
- We will setup options so that you can set a difficulty level for the AI characters. You will also be able to adjust the volume for music and sound effects independently.
- We’re going to be setting up animator controllers for each character and controlling the animations through various parameters that will be called in C# scripts. We’re going to create a wide range of C# scripts using easy to understand and easy to implement code.
So by the end of this course you will have a fully completed fighting game which will look great in your portfolios. You can also include your completed game for free on websites or sell it commercially online through Steam or other such websites. You will also have gained the experience and knowledge of how to make this type of game inside of the Unity game engine.
