Description

Unity 2022 by Example is a complete introduction to building games in Unity following a project-based approach. You’ll be introduced to the Unity game engine and the tools available for building and customizing a game exactly the way you want it, while maintaining a good code foundation to build upon. Once you get to grips with the fundamentals of Unity game development, you'll start creating a 2D collection game and an adventure game, followed by a 3D first person shooter game. Next, you’ll explore advanced topics, such as using machine learning to create AI-based enemy behavior, virtual reality for extending the first-person game, and augmented reality for developing a farming simulation game in a real-world setting. The book will help you gain hands-on knowledge of these topics as you build projects using the latest game tool kits. You'll also learn how to commercialize your game by publishing it to a distribution platform and maintain and support it throughout its lifespan. As you progress, you’ll gain real-world knowledge and experience by taking your games from conceptual design to completion. By the end of this Unity book, you’ll have strong foundational knowledge of how to structure a Unity project that is both maintainable and extensible for commercially released games.

As a self-taught coder and avid game development enthusiast, I found Scott's book a rich tool for enhancing my workflow and process. He walks you through every stage of development with useful examples that I found easy enough to apply to a 2D game I'm working on. If you're looking for a great guide to help you with your next title, start here.

This book is well written and easy to follow. It begins with an introduction to Unity and how to install it. After this, the first project is a 2D top-down adventure game. While working through this, the reader is introduced to creating a Game Design Document (GDD), using Tilemap to create environments, and basic C# coding. After this project is completed, the author then introduces 3D game design by teaching the reader how to create a First Person Shooter (FPS). Then, there is a brief section on implementing AI. The next project explains how to set up and use Mixed Reality in Unity. The book then finishes with advice on how to finish a game and make it commercially viable. I highly recommend this book for beginner game developers who wish to use Unity.

The benefits of this books are.•You’ll learn the ins and outs of Unity.•You’ll learn a little game design, level design, and how to document your designs.•You’ll have a hands on approach to learn to fully build a 2D adventure platformer and a 3D First-Person Shooter game. From gameplay mechanics to fully building the UI.A must have for any game developer skill level.

This is an amazing read. I have been using Unity for some years in 2D, 3D, including a bit of VR and AR. It was great to have a refresher on Unity 2D and 3D implementations. My favorite section was about object pooling. That was a great read and refresher on an important tool to implement while keeping or games optimized! Great read!

There are tons of Unity tutorials and resources available online but Scott's book summarizes and simplifies those learnings and not to mention the book includes exercises that can easily be followed even by beginners! By the time you finished most of the exercises and learned most of the concepts in the book, I assure you, you will be industry ready! Take it from me, I am a certified Unity developer.
