New to Unity? Our Your First Game Jam Livestream was recorded so if you missed it, you can follow along on your own time.

The 3D Game Kit allows you to create 3D platformer gameplay and puzzles in Unity without code. This document describes each component you can use in the Kit to create your game, including what the components do and what the settings in those components are. If you are new to Unity, we recommend you go through our Platformer, FPS, Karting, or LEGO® Microgame tutorials to familiarize yourself with the Unity interface and concepts. You can also download the 2D Game Kit which will introduce you to the systems and concepts within a 2D environment. More information on Unity can be found on our Learn Site. The best way to use this document is like a reference guide, searching by the component or setting you want to know more about. To learn the basics of how to use the Game Kit, check out the Quick Start Guide which provides a good foundation on using the Kit. The Start example game included in this project uses all the components we provided for gameplay. To get inspiration or an example of how to use a GameObject, explore levels 1 and 2 in the Scenes > GamePlay folder. Important terms and concepts are highlighted with links if you would like to find out more information about them.

No coding experience? No problem! In this beginner project, you’ll explore the basics of C# code for Unity in the context of an action RPG. To get the most out of this project, you’ll have completed one of the three introductory Creator Kits (Puzzle, FPS, RPG), so you can apply your knowledge of the Unity Editor and focus on customizing the game with scripts. Important: This learning content requires at least Unity 2019.2, and will not work correctly on older versions. Participating in the global Hour of Code? Visit our Hour of Code Edition of this Creator Kit.

A profiling tool gives detailed information about how a game is performing. The Profiler window is a powerful profiling tool that is built into Unity. This tutorial describes what the Profiler window is used for and how to use it to diagnose performance problems in a game or other application.

What is Delta Time and how can it be used in your games to smooth and interpret values?

Inside the Game window, there’s a Stats button in the top right corner. When this button is pressed, an overlay window appears.

Unity's microgames are a great way to get your first experience in Unity. Follow these steps to load your first microgame. Then, the in-Editor tutorials inside your microgame will help you build, play, and share your very first game in no time.

By implementing common game programming design patterns in your Unity project, you can efficiently build and maintain a clean, organized, and readable codebase. Design patterns not only reduce refactoring and the time spent testing, but they also speed up onboarding and development processes, contributing to a solid foundation that can be used to grow your game, development team, and business. Think of design patterns not as finished solutions you can copy and paste into your code, but as extra tools that can help you build larger, scalable applications when used correctly. This tutorial explains the observer pattern and how it can help support the principle of loose coupling between objects that interact with each other.
