1 hora por semana. Every lesson has a (45 minute) optional homework assignment that reinforces what we learned and gives the students an opportunity to add more to their game between sessions. I highly encourage this, but it is not required to be successful in the course.

Certificado de finalización

Certificate contains a list of all major game design and game skills learned. A great addition to your academic portfolio.

Learn the Art of Game Design and Game Coding with Unity, while making an awesome “Combat Focused” Zelda-like game from start to finish!

1-on-1 class, meeting once a week, for 90 minutes.

A perfect course for anyone who wants to explore game design and game coding. This rapid learning, project based, course has us create a polished game in just 8 weeks. The levels are stunning, the enemies are plentiful, and the combat is smooth and super fun.

Our goal is to learn a TON in a short time by rapidly completing a full game. I'll take you step by step through creating beautiful levels, lighting effects, combat and movement abilities, enemies, boss battles, and much more. We'll be coding everything from scratch, but no coding experience is required. I fully explain every line of code we'll write, and the optional homework for each lesson solidifies learning and encourages students to experiment with game elements and code alike.

When you're done this class you'll be amazed by how much you learned and accomplished. Your finished game will be a permanent reminder of how to do everything we learned, and you'll be ready to continue creating games on your own.

Special Note: I also offer a continuation to this class, "Unity "Combat Focused" Game Design Part 2", which continues right where Part 1 ends. A lot of advanced topics are covered as we evolve our game, enemies, and combat system considerably.

Every Student Will Create:
– Beautiful levels with gorgeous lightning and special effects
– Modular coding scripts and interfaces
– Destructible objects
– Collectable items
– 3 unique combat styles (Sword, Bow, Magic)
– Multiple unique enemies, and their A.I. controllers
– A multi-phase boss battle
– Quests, NPCs, Level Transitions, and much more!

Orientación para padres

- You will need to download and install: * UnityHub (to get Unity) * Visual Studio Code - Students must ensure both are installed and that Unity can launch "before" our first class. - This course focuses on designing a combat system for fun action packed gameplay, and by necessity this course involves cartoon violence in the form of (Sword, Bow, and Magic) combat. * However I never allow realistic blood, firearms, or anything else that leaves the realm of fantasy gameplay.

Requisitos previos

No prior knowledge required, but students with some Unity and/or coding background will still find this course very rewarding! We create a stunning game from start to finish while learning a ton of game design and game coding.

Lista de útiles escolares

For this course, students will use the UNITY Game Engine.

To install the Unity Game Engine you must first install Unity Hub:
https://unity.com/download

- After installing Unity Hub, sign in with Google and/or create a unique Unity ID. 
- On the left hand side of Unity Hub you will see an option that says "Installs". 
- Click on the installs tab and then click the blue "Add" button on the top right corner. 
- Click the “Install Editor” button for the latest 2022 release (right now it's 2022.3.54).
   * Do not install Unity 6 (we won't be using that).

Unity runs on most Windows, Mac and Linux machines but the better your video card (GPU) and the more RAM you have (8GB bare minimum) the better the experience.
   * Please install the UNITY Engine PRIOR to class starting.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente

I've been teaching and developing curriculum for STEM classes for over 10 years. I got my start with iD Tech Camps where I designed over a dozen courses in: Programming, Game Design, and Robotics. Since then I've created over 30 more classes primarily in Programming and Game Design for various summer camps and universities.

I've developed and published several of my own games with Unity, and I'm currently working on two game development teams one of which will be publishing our new game "Last Light" on Steam in Q4 of 2025.

Fun side note: I developed this class when I was creating the original proof of concept for the game "Last Light", and the story concept was actually pitched to me by one of my previous students.
