This Learn Project is a case study focusing on a top grossing Made With Unity game developed in its entirety by a single person; David Wehle's The First Tree.

In the first episode of Unity's Prototyping series, we’ll give you an overview on how we created this third person action shooter that has an ability system similar to the ones present in many popular games.

The FPS Microgame Template is a 3D First Person Shooter game that you can mod and customize. Complete the Creative Mods to build on the project and make it more your own, while learning the basics of Unity.

In this tutorial, we’ll dive deeper into Unity Cameras with scripts that control their behavior. We’ll start out with a 2D Camera that works from any perspective (in this case, we’ll be using it in an overhead view). Next, we’ll move on to 3D with a Camera that smoothly transitions — with a flick of the mouse scroll wheel — from first-person to third-person and back. This Camera is suitable for games, VR, or architectural walkthroughs, as seen in many modern and classic 3D titles.

Out of the box, the Unity Reflect Viewer allows for quick and easy design reviews on desktop, AR, and VR. Using an HTC Vive, reviewers can view the Mesh from a first-person view at scale as well as perform easy flythroughs. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to navigate in VR and interact with the Mesh data.

This project features the classic Windridge City project with the addition of the Standard Assets first person controller. The project includes a few key areas that will benefit from the addition of audio. You will have the opportunity to configure both 2D and 3D audio, create Reverb Zones to enhance the environmental audio effects, trigger audio from a custom C# script, and master the scene’s audio using the Audio Mixer.

Here you'll learn the fundamentals of Agile, the process used by the vast majority of game makers to help contain the chaos of software development and still deliver exciting, well-made games. We'll give you special resources for making it work for you as a solo developer or small team. By the end you’ll also turn in your first major milestone: the vertical slice

Design reviews take place throughout the entire lifecycle of a project. Without a shared, collaborative environment, it takes a lot of time and effort for decisions to get made. Unity Reflect Review allows you to easily bring your design models into an immersive experience in AR and VR to facilitate interactive real-time design reviews.

By now, you might have some thoughts on potential projects or careers that would put your Unity skills to good use. You’re embarking on a journey of learning Unity, and along the way you want to challenge yourself — but not take on too much. In this tutorial, our established creators will talk about their early projects, the challenges they overcame, and the career paths they followed.
