Welcome to this introduction to game development in Unity! At the end of this course you will have developed a simple 2D game, and you will know the necessary concepts to do this development from the point of view of a Unity programmer. You will learn during 8 weeks how to create the main scene of a game, how to add code that defines the behavior of the characters, how to reflect the state of the game in interface elements and how to publish said prototype on the web. We use Unity, a very popular game engine with a lot of resources available and a very active community. You can see examples of what other students have developed at: http://padlet.com/Uniandes/DlloVideojuegos
Whether or not you have a game idea, this course will allow you to acquire the basic skills to develop 2D games. This course is also useful if you want to make a game for your work, research, or hobby, whatever it is. The concepts learned here are also useful for the development of simulators, educational games, and interactive books.
It is important that you have basic knowledge of programming in an object-oriented language such as Python, Java, or C#. There are several courses on Coursera that you can take for this purpose. We will be programming in C# within Unity, and concepts in other object-oriented languages will be useful to our development in this course.
This course is part of the Coursera Specialized Program in video game development, in which you will learn to design and program certain types of video games, understand the current market and what is required to create a commercially successful game.
Keep in mind that this course has been designed as the first of five courses that are part of the specialized program in Video Game Development and Design. You can take all the courses separately or just one of them, however we recommend that you enroll and participate in all five, hopefully in the order that we propose, so that you reach the last course called "Development and Design of Video Games: project course" prepared to apply the knowledge acquired in previous courses.
