Submit your independent or guided project

In order to officially complete and receive a badge for this pathway, you need to submit either your guided or independent project. Either one of these projects will verify that you have mastered the Creative Core.

As you prepare to submit your project and complete the pathway, review the criteria for your choice of submission project again.

Independent project submissions

Your independent project should:

• Be based on an enhanced prototype taken beyond the greybox stage. It can be a walking simulator created using the resources provided (for those without coding experience) or a concept of your choice that you have the technical skills to create.
  
• Utilize each of Unity’s core creative systems that are appropriate for the concept to showcase your skills and ability to apply them in a specific practical context. Important: In almost all cases, every mission in the Creative Core pathway will be applicable to your project to a certain extent. Remember, this is an opportunity to showcase what you can do!
  
• Achieve a baseline level of visual polish through effective use of shaders and materials, lighting, VFX, and post-processing effects.
  
• Be tested to ensure that you have achieved your design goals for the independent project and the critical interactions and features are functioning as expected.

You can also review the domain-specific guidance for this submission before continuing, if you need to.

Guided project submissions

Your independent project is the ideal submission to demonstrate your learning throughout this learning pathway, and we recommend using it for this purpose.

However, we understand that some people may prefer not to submit this project on Unity Learn. If you prefer, you can use the guided project that you completed while working through the Creative Core pathway to meet the requirements for the final submission and complete the pathway.

If you are submitting your guided project, be sure to review the specific criteria for your chosen brief. Your project should include everything outlined in the Project Requirements section of the design document.

For your convenience, here are links to those design documents again:

• Alien video game shop
• Architectural rendering
• Beachside town

In the prototyping project, you were asked to playtest your project. If you have continued refining and improving your project since then, we recommend testing it again. If you are submitting your guided project, make sure you playtest that too.

Whichever project you decide to submit here, make sure to plan some time to make any changes you might identify as a result of the user feedback you collect. When you’re ready to continue, review your project one more time to make sure it is ready to build and publish.

You need to create a build that others can experience online to submit your independent or guided project— a WebGL build is the best fit for that.

If you need to recap this process, review Getting started with Unity Web. You can publish your submission on Unity Play or other third-party hosting platforms.

You have just published an interactive experience that’s Made with Unity — congratulations!

In the next step, you’ll submit your independent or guided project to complete this pathway. Once you do that and complete this tutorial, you will earn your Creative Core pathway badge. You should be incredibly proud of getting to this point. You now have the core skills in all of the major creative domains for creating experiences with Unity.

The Creative Core badge is sharable on LinkedIn or other social media platforms. Add it to your portfolio, your email signature, and your resume. Why not share your badge and let the world know what you have accomplished?

Goodbye from the Creative Core team

A lot of different people worked on making this experience for you. We all hope that you’ve enjoyed it and we can’t wait to hear about what you create.

Congratulations again and keep on creating!
