This specialization offers a comprehensive learning path in Unity 2022 game development, starting with the foundational concepts of 2D game creation and advancing to 3D first-person shooters and mixed reality games and publishing. The first course focuses on the basics, where learners will create a 2D collection game and gradually build more complex 2D adventure games, implementing features like enhanced player actions and enemy behaviors. By the end of this course, learners will have a strong understanding of 2D game mechanics and Unity 2022 fundamentals.
The second course dives into 3D game development, guiding learners through creating a first-person shooter (FPS) game. With a focus on audio integration and AI-powered gameplay, learners will enhance their 3D games and explore advanced gameplay features. This course emphasizes applying Unity 2022 to create dynamic, immersive 3D environments and solve real-world gaming challenges.
The final course explores mixed reality (MR) development using Unity's XR Interaction Toolkit. Learners will gain hands-on experience with MR concepts and apply them to create immersive game experiences. By the end of the specialization, learners will have developed both 2D and 3D games and acquired the skills needed to build mixed reality applications and prepare projects for commercial release.
This specialization is based on the book Unity 2022 by Example, by Scott H. Cameron.
Applied Learning Project
Applied exercises and case analyses integrated throughout the courses offer structured opportunities for learners to apply key Unity concepts and methods in realistic game development contexts. Through hands-on practice, guided analysis, and skill application, participants engage with authentic challenges, developing practical competence in building 2D, 3D, and mixed reality games using Unity 2022.
