Unity Fundamentals

Description

This course is made in latest Unity 6, but is still compatible with older versions of Unity.Build a Fully Functional Mobile RTS Game in Unity 2D and Publish It to the App StoresThis course offers a complete, step-by-step guide to developing, designing, and publishing a mobile real-time strategy (RTS) game using Unity 2D and C#. It's perfect for beginners who want to learn game development from scratch and for experienced developers looking to expand their skills in mobile RTS game creation.What Makes This Course Unique?You'll work on a single project from start to finish—building every feature yourself without relying on third-party libraries. This ensures you learn not just the "how," but also the "why" behind every system and mechanic.Course Highlights:Setup Your Game Environment:Start by setting up your Unity project and designing a game map with tilemaps and animated tiles. Learn to create dynamic environments and design immersive visuals for your RTS game.Character Creation and Animation:Animate game characters, including builders and warriors, with unique behaviors and appearances. Master Unity's animation tools to make your game come alive.Game Mechanics:Implement crucial gameplay systems like:Unit selection and movement with click-based interaction.Building placement and confirmation workflows, complete with real-time visual feedback.Unit actions, such as gathering resources, constructing buildings, and combat engagement.Resource Management System:Develop a resource economy where units collect and store wood and gold, enabling players to construct structures, train units, and unlock new gameplay opportunities.Pathfinding with A* Algorithm:Learn the fundamentals of pathfinding as you code your own A* algorithm. Ensure that units can navigate obstacles and follow smooth movement patterns on the game map.Enemy AI and State Machines:Program intelligent enemy behaviors using state machines, including movement, targeting, and attacking. Create dynamic enemy waves with unique challenges.Combat System and Unit AI:Design a combat system where units engage in battles with enemy waves. Implement stances like defensive and offensive modes, enabling strategic control of player units.Game Polishing:Enhance the user experience by adding features like:Damage popups and event announcements.Audio effects for footsteps, attacks, resource collection, and more.Camera controls for smooth navigation across the map.Final Game Improvements and Publishing:Test your game on iOS and Android devices, ensuring performance optimization. Learn the full deployment process for both platforms, including:Setting up store pages.Creating preview videos.Complying with store guidelines for publishing.By the End of This Course:You'll have a fully functional RTS game ready for release on mobile app stores. Moreover, you'll gain the skills to create, code, and publish future games, setting you on a path toward becoming a professional game developer.
