Ready to move beyond Unity basics? This course is all about connecting the dots, taking individual game development concepts you’ve learned and weaving them into a cohesive, end-to-end project. You’ll build a solid foundation for creating medium-sized games and gain reusable systems to kickstart your own projects.
🎯 What you’ll learn
- Connect various Unity concepts and systems into a complete game.
- Integrate a complex state machine into your Unity projects.
- Explore different architectural approaches for script communication.
- Create dozens of complex levels rapidly.
- Understand the benefits of a custom Grid-System.
- Develop independent, reusable systems for future games.
✅ Requirements
- Skills: Basic Unity Knowledge
📝 Description
Welcome to our Intermediate Unity 6 course. This course tackles the common question: “What should I learn next after mastering Unity basics?” You’ll likely know how to tackle individual problems in Unity, but the real challenge is connecting these concepts into a complete, end-to-end game. This course provides a template for building serious, medium-sized games.
You’ll develop several independent systems that you can easily reuse in your own game projects. We’re building a game inspired by the classic Maze-Runner Pacman, chosen because it incorporates a wide range of concepts and can be fully implemented without any third-party tools.
Here’s a look at the core concepts we’ll cover and integrate:
AI:
* Navigation
* Path Debugging
* Behavior Control
* State Machine Concepts
* Configurable State Machines with minimal setup
Clean Architecture:
* Singleton – should you use it?
* Interfaces
* Delegates
* Creating your own API-Script
* Extending Monobehaviours
* Static Classes
* Event-based Communication
Player Movement:
* Input System (New)
* Raycast-based Movement
* Grid-based Movement
* Smooth Movement without Corner-Cutting
Custom Grid:
* Grid Visualization
* Automated Level Detection
* Cell-Types for Navigation, Movement, and Object Placement
* Position-Independence of the Grid
* API-like access to Grid Calculations
Automated Level-Creation:
* Ruletiles
* Tile Palettes
* Scripted Tiles
* Creating dozens of Levels in minutes
* Tilemap System
And many more topics, including:
* Level Resetting
* Animations
* Teleportation
* Spawning
* Collision Detection
* Editor Scripts
* Preparing Image Assets
We’ll see you in the course!
