Create ready-to-play 3D games with reactive environments, sound, dynamic effects, and more!Key Features• Build a solid foundation for game design and game development• Understand the fundamentals of 3D such as coordinates, spaces, vectors, and cameras• Get to grips with essential Unity concepts including characters, scenes, terrains, objects and moreBook DescriptionThis book, written by a team of experts at Unity Technologies, follows an informal, demystifying approach to the world of game development.You'll learn the 3D and C# fundamentals before starting to build one short segment of the full game — a vertical slice. With every progressing chapter, you'll learn to improve this game (alongside building your own) to make it ready to pitch to studios.Within Unity 3D Game Development, you will learn to: • Design and build 3D characters, and the game environment• Think about the users' interactions with your game• Develop the interface and apply visual effects to add an emotional connection to your world• Grasp a solid foundation of sound design, animations, and lightning to your creations• Build, test, and add final touchesThe book is split between expert insights that you'll read before you look into the project on GitHub to understand all the underpinnings. This way, you get to see the end result, and you're allowed to be creative and give your own thoughts to design, as well as work through the process with the new tools we introduce.Join the book community on Discord: Read this book with Unity game developers, and the team of authors.
