Mastering UI Development with Unity by Dr. Ashley Godbold is a comprehensive and practical guide to creating user interfaces (UI) in Unity, a popular game development engine. The book is well-written and easy to follow, even for those with limited experience in UI development. Godbold's expertise in the field is evident throughout the book, as she provides clear explanations and step-by-step instructions for creating various UI elements, such as buttons, text, images, and scroll views. The book also covers more advanced topics, such as animation, particle effects, and optimization.One of the strengths of this book is its focus on real-world examples. Godbold provides numerous examples of how to create UI elements that are commonly used in games, such as health bars, inventory systems, and dialogue boxes. These examples are well-explained and easy to adapt to your own projects. The book also includes a chapter on designing UI for mobile devices, which is an important consideration for many game developers.Another strength of this book is its coverage of the latest UI tools and techniques in Unity. Godbold discusses the UI Toolkit, a new UI system that is still in development but promises to be more powerful and flexible than the traditional Unity UI system. She also covers the new Input System, which provides a more streamlined way to handle input from various devices.Overall, Mastering UI Development with Unity is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn how to create high-quality UI in Unity. The book is well-written, informative, and practical. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Unity developer, this book will help you take your UI skills to the next level.

This book serves as a great resource for folks looking to start out in UI development. It pairs foundational game UI theory and principles with practical examples and a wealth of information that would otherwise take years to accumulate.

Graham G Aug 09, 2024

I loved how this book breaks down the four types of UI: diegetic, meta, spatial, and non-diegetic. It makes understanding the roles of UI in gameplay so much clearer, and is a great launchpad.The tips and tricks are fantastic, especially things like using the Device Simulator to speed up development. These little nuggets of wisdom are super practical and really help streamline the process.The insights on making UI comfortable for XR devices were spot on. XR can be pretty demanding, so focusing on comfort is key. The section on the "Low Physical Effort" design principle really drives this home and makes you appreciate how important it is.The book does a great job diving into the nitty-gritty details, like the different input systems. This info is great for helping you choose the right tool for the job upfront before committing to a direction (saving time).I also found the example sections really useful. They walk you through real-world scenarios so you can see how to apply what you’ve learned. Plus, the chapter summaries at the end are a nice touch to make sure you don’t miss any key points.Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone working on game UI for the latest tech. It’s packed with valuable insights and practical advice, all presented in a way that’s easy to understand. Highly recommend!
