Create a Dark Moody Atmospheric 2D Game with Unity and C#

Description

This is a beginner-friendly video course that teaches you how to build a 2D game from scratch using Unity and C#. You will learn how to implement 2D lighting, use particle systems, program a player controller, and more. No prior experience is necessary!

This is a comprehensive video course that teaches you how to build a fully functional 2D game from scratch using Unity and C#. With step-by-step instructions and real-world examples, you will learn how to design levels, program game mechanics, and create stunning graphics and sound effects. Throughout the course, you will learn how to implement 2D lighting, use Unity's particle system to create stunning effects, and program a player controller that can double jump, dash, wall jump, and more. You will also learn how to add trails, create basic physics for our characters, and add a basic score system. Additionally, you will gain a deeper understanding of how physics and rigid bodies work in Unity, how to animate characters in games, and how to use sound effects for video game development. The course includes a range of exciting features such as adding tiles using Unity's built-in Tileset Editor, adding a pause menu, using a smart camera (Cinemachine) to follow our player, and building and exporting our game to Android. By the end of this course, you will be able to create an atmospheric 2D game like the one you will be building, and you will have a deeper understanding of how things work in Unity.

1. Introduction

In this section, we will be introduced to the course's learning objectives. You will learn how to set up the Unity Game engine for our project and navigate through the Unity user interface. Additionally, we will gain a solid understanding of game components and where to find the necessary game files to start building our project. By the end of this section, we will have a strong foundation and be ready to dive into the rest of the course.

2. Player Controller

In this section, we will focus on creating our 2D moody game in Unity by working with the Player Controller script.
