In this course, you’ll build a 2D game in Unity — starting from a completely blank project with no assets provided, you’ll create the entire game from start to finish. In the game, you fly a simple triangle-shaped ship using mouse clicks (or screen taps on mobile). Your goal: stay alive for as long as you can by dodging flying obstacles while your score increases over time. Along the way, you’ll learn the fundamentals of working in 2D, from navigating the Scene view to coding simple gameplay interactions. You’ll also explore key Unity systems like a user interface (UI), particle effects, audio, and publishing. By the end, you’ll not only have a complete, playable game, but you’ll also have the skills to start building your own original 2D projects.

Unity for Humanity empowers storytellers and changemakers to make the world a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable place for all. Unity for Humanity's: Guide for Creators covers how to design games that create impact.

The Magic Leap 2 is an immersive augmented reality (AR) headset built for enterprise solutions. The device allows you to seamlessly blend the physical world with the digital world to create immersive experiences. The Magic Leap 2 is used across multiple industries for training, collaboration, remote support, visualization, creativity, and more. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of creating applications using the Magic Leap 2. The course is made up of a series of standalone tutorials, each covering a different topic related to developing for the Magic Leap 2. First, you will get your hardware and software set up for development, but after that, you can explore the tutorials in whichever order you like.

Have you ever wanted to create a mobile game that performs well on almost any device? What about adding downloadable content (DLC) or having holiday-themed content for your game? This is where the Addressables system can help. Unity's Addressables system is a dynamic asset management solution that provides your users with only the assets they need, when they need them. It allows you to organize your on-demand assets from inside the Unity Editor while you're developing your game, and its runtime API lets you load and unload assets dynamically while users are playing your game. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to do the following: Evaluate the Addressable system's benefits and functionalities in order to determine whether it is appropriate for a project Create and configure addressable assets in order to build AssetBundles Manage builds of applications with addressable assets Load and instantiate addressable assets at runtime Organize assets using addressable groups Organize addressable assets using labels Create and configure a local hosting service in the Unity Editor in order to simulate the delivery and loading of remote content while in Play mode

When you make a game, you’re crafting a shared experience. Whether your game is a private gift for one person or a global commercial release, for solo play or many players, it’s an invitation to connect with and respond to your ideas as a creator. When you make your game more accessible, you’re extending that invitation to a wider and more diverse audience. This course is a practical introduction to accessibility for intermediate creators. As you complete it, you’ll choose a game to create and work on making that game as accessible as possible... By the end of the course, you’ll be able to: Apply an inclusive design approach to your work as a creator Identify critical accessibility requirements for your projects Implement accessibility review and feedback cycles throughout development Design and develop features using an inclusive design approach Maintain a focus on accessibility while adapting to constraints and emerging project needs

In this intermediate course, participants will learn how to produce performance-optimized 3D assets and scenes for mobile applications. Topics will cover tips on optimizing Geometry, Textures, Materials, Shaders, and Lighting. This course was created with technical artists and content creators in mind.

In this official course from Unity, you will learn Real-time Animated Storytelling, allowing you to create your own 3D animations with cutting-edge technology. During the course, you will develop pre-visualization skills, learn to create an environment and props, animate characters, film a story, and refine your Scene with lighting and effects. As an artist and storyteller, you will learn how to leverage one of the most powerful new technologies to bring your ideas to life in real-time. As you complete the creative challenges and develop your own project, you’ll be able to share your new skills in our gallery and in your portfolio. Whether you’re a student who wants to be at the forefront of the entertainment industry, or a professional looking to upskill, by the end of this course you will have developed in-demand animation skills to make you stand out from the crowd. The 3D assets for this course were generously provided by our partner, Synty Studios, and are not for commercial use. If you would like to use any of the 3D assets from this course in commercial projects, please purchase one of the asset packs from Synty Studios’ Asset Store page.

In this course, you'll explore the fundamentals of Unity’s 3D animation systems. You will: Review the core concepts for the animation systems in Unity Connect those core concepts to the functionality of the Unity Editor Apply your learning through creating and modifying simple animations Review key principles of scripting for animation By the end of this course, you'll be able to: Confidently use Unity's 3D animation systems to create basic in-game (or in-app) animations for your own projects Begin to create custom animation scripts, if you have relevant C# scripting experience for Unity. Who is this course for? This course is for intermediate and confident beginner users of Unity. It will help you develop your understanding of the animation systems in Unity, but will be of limited use to learners who want to create cinematic animations for media experiences or game cutscenes. To get the most out of the course, you’ll need basic coding experience in Unity. This will help inform your understanding of the complexity of different animations scripting scenarios.
