Unity 2022 by Example - A project-based guide to building 2D, 3D, augmented reality, and virtual reality games (Paperback)

Start building commercial and playable games in Unity with C# through a series of practical projects ranging from a simple 2D game to adding AR/VR experiences with this full-color guide Key Features * Create game apps, including a 2D adventure game, a 3D first-person shooter, and more * Explore Unity's component-based approach to implementing features in Unity 2022 through a GameObject hierarchy based on C# scripts * Follow steps for publishing, marketing, and maintaining your games effectively Book Description Unity 2022 by Example is a complete introduction to building games in Unity following a project-based approach. You'll be introduced to the Unity game engine and the tools available for building and customizing a game exactly the way you want while maintaining a good code foundation to build upon. Once you get familiar with the fundamentals of Unity game development, you'll start creating a 2D collection game and an adventure game followed by a 3D first-person shooter game. You'll then explore advanced topics such as machine learning by creating AI-based enemy behavior, virtual reality by extending the first-person game, and augmented reality by exploring a farming sim in a real-world setting. These topics are completed in practice while building projects using the latest game tool kits. Finally, you'll learn how to commercialize your game by publishing it to a distribution platform and maintain and support it throughout its lifespan. As you progress, you'll gain real-world knowledge and experience by taking a game from conceptual design to completion. By the end of this Unity book, you'll have strong foundational knowledge of how to structure a Unity project that is both maintainable and extensible for commercially released games.
