Note: This course only applies to Unity customers who have purchased a Floating License Subscription. Unity Floating Licenses enables easy license management at scale within large organizations. In this course, you’ll learn how to set up, configure, and deploy a Unity Floating License Server for both Windows and Linux server operating systems. Each module in this course will guide you through the process of deploying a Unity Floating License server from start to finish. You’ll finish this course with a solid understanding of how to operate your own floating license server and how floating licenses are utilized. This course is divided into two modules; one dedicated to Windows servers and the other dedicated to Ubuntu Linux servers. Completion of both modules is optional as the steps and information presented only differ when it comes to working with the Operating System. By the end of this course, you will be able to configure and deploy your own Unity Floating License Server in your choice of operating system. Requirements: Unity Hub 3.1 or later Unity 2019.4 or later Unity ID Floating License Subscription Windows Server 2016 Ubuntu 22.04 Server Basic Computer Networking Knowledge Basic Windows and/or Linux Knowledge

Project Objectives Understand the structure of a Universal 2D project Learn the basics of working with 2D Light Get an overview of Sprites and Secondary Textures Explore editing and configuration methods for pixel art Apply optimization techniques for 2D Light

In this webinar, we will build a complete inventory system using Unity's Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS), inspired by the grid-based mechanics found in V Rising. We will cover ECS component architecture, efficient data queries, UI integration patterns, and performance optimization techniques specific to inventory management systems. Session objectives: Design ECS components for items, inventory slots, and container systems using data-oriented principles. Implement core inventory operations including item addition, removal, stacking, and grid-based placement logic. Integrate DOTS systems with Unity's UI frameworks for responsive inventory interfaces. Apply performance optimization strategies for large-scale inventory operations and real-time updates. Develop extensible patterns that support advanced features like auto-sorting, item categories, and multiplayer synchronization.

Welcome to this revamped version of the beloved John Lemon game. We know how much this project means to many of you, so we made it even better! This time, John Lemon isn’t the only one sneaking through the shadows. Ivan von Vamp, a tiny vampire with a big personality, is also ready to embark on the adventure and escape the haunted mansion full of lurking enemies and chilling surprises. In this Unity project, you’ll create your own 3D Stealth Game from scratch. Starting with an empty scene, you’ll set up your player character and enemies, add audio, UI, and all the details that will bring this haunted house back to life. If you’re completely new to Unity or already have some experience, you can follow along with the Haunted House tutorials to learn the basics and dig deeper with bonus features. Ready to take a peek? Check out the demo on Unity Play , where you’ll guide John on their spooky escape, dodging stone-faced gargoyle monsters and floating ghosts. By the end, you’ll have your own version of the game, ready to share with your friends (or to haunt them with).

Launch Unity’s built-in beginner project, complete the interactive tutorial, and share your first game.

In this course, Dr Penny de Byl reveals the most popular AI techniques used for creating believable game characters using her internationally acclaimed teaching style and knowledge from over 25 years researching and working with games, computer graphics and artificial intelligence. Throughout, you will follow along with hands-on workshops designed to teach you about the fundamental AI techniques used in today's games.  You'll join in as NPCs are programmed to chase, hide, flee, patrol, shoot, race, crowd, plan and much more.

Reinforcement Learning is one of the most exciting types of Artificial Intelligence and the Unity ML-Agents project is one of the easiest and most fun ways to get started. The instructor for the course is Adam Kelly, an experienced Unity developer who has been creating tutorials and courses on ML-Agents for Immersive Limit since the early beta days in 2018. In this course, you will learn how to create intelligent flying hummingbirds that can navigate to flowers, dip their beaks in, and drink nectar. These hummingbirds have six degrees of freedom, meaning they can fly and turn in any direction to find targets. They have more complicated controls and their flight paths cannot be solved with traditional navigation systems. You will learn how to craft a training environment and train neural networks to perform this challenging task, then compete against the birds yourself in a simple mini-game. There's no question that Reinforcement Learning is a complicated subject, but ML-Agents leaves the hard parts to the researchers so that you can focus on solving problems. By the end of the course, you'll have a good understanding of how you can create intelligent agents and integrate them with your own Unity games or simulation projects.
