In this live learning session, you will work on a classic 2D platformer game that you can mod and make your own. You will add your own Creative Mods to tweak the project and add your own levels, while learning the basics of Unity.

Develop your confidence using the Unity Editor

This session explores some of the same content available in the Platformer Microgame project.

This live series is the perfect companion to the Unity Essentials Pathway. Follow the pathway to get started in Unity, learn about the world of real-time development, and begin your first projects. 

You can work through the pathway first, or attend this series first. The activities in the Unity Editor are entirely different, so doing both will only add to your learning experience!

To participate in this session and follow along, you need:

Have the 2D Platformer Project downloaded and open in Unity Editor.

If this is your first Unity Essentials Live learning session, you can catch up by:
