• In the 1980's coding games was a massive uphill battle. 

        - Limited Resources

        - No Internet

        - No Game Engine

       - Only some handful of books and magazines that offered fascinating but confusing code fragments.

• The first version of Unity was released in 2005.
• During that time, tools like Blitz3D and Flash were great to program games but were limited in a lot of ways.
• The later versions of Unity had cross-platform support which contributed heavily into Unity’s growing prominence. Unity enabled developers to deploy to the web in addition to mobile, all from one codebase!
• The Unity engine has in fact revolutionized Game Development Process

       - Open Game Programming

       - Powerful and Professional Game Engine

       - Affordable and Approachable for someone just getting started.

• This course is about programming games in Unity.

•  

•  

 

•  

 

• This course is targeting people who already know how to program but who are newcomers to Unity, and possibly new to game development in general. 

 

• Unity has in place a huge treasure of learning resources which are scattered all around and require much digging to find what you need. 

 

• This course wrapped up everything you need to know in one place and presented it in a clear and logical manner

 

• This course wastes none of your time and gets you coding fast—and not just nonsense code, but interesting code that you can understand and build from.

 

• This course will take you through a selection of different projects every few lectures, rather than one monolithic project developed over the entire course.

 

• You will learn by doing these projects in Unity, and that’s the approach this course takes.

 

• If you don’t already know how to program a computer, I suggest going through that first and then coming back to this course after learning how to program.

 

• Multi Platform Game Development in C# . C# is used throughout this course, but skills from other languages will transfer quite well

 

•  Although the first part of the course will take its time introducing new concepts and will carefully and deliberately step you through developing your first game in Unity, the remaining lectures will move a lot faster in order to take viewers through projects in multiple game genres.

 

• The course will end with a chapter describing deployment to various platforms like the web and mobile, but the main thrust of the course won’t make any reference to the ultimate deployment target because Unity is wonderfully platform-agnostic.

 

• As for other aspects of game development, Discussion of art tasks will be limited to aspects specific to Unity or that all game developers should know.

 

• Don’t be shy about diverging from the course curriculum path and breaking out on your own. Skip to what interests you most—try experiments, be bold and brave! You can always return to the text if you get too lost.

 

• The entire future of game development is impatiently waiting for you to begin! 

 

• Mark this day on your calendar, for today is the day that everything changed. It will be forever remembered as the day you started making games.
