This specialization features Coursera Coach!
A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
In this specialization, you will dive into Unity game development, learning everything from setting up your environment to creating a fully functional 3D game. You’ll start with Unity installation, interface navigation, and essential tools like textures, meshes, shaders, and physics. As you progress, you’ll learn how to create first-person characters with animations, pickups, weapons, and more. Each section builds on the last, enabling you to construct realistic environments and implement engaging gameplay mechanics.
You’ll also work with more advanced concepts such as AI programming for enemy movement, ragdoll physics for realistic character deaths, and combat mechanics. By the end of the specialization, you'll have created a complete zombie shooter game, ready for further refinement and publishing.
This specialization is ideal for aspiring game developers and enthusiasts with a basic understanding of programming. It offers hands-on experience in Unity and prepares you for real-world game development challenges.
By the end of the specialization, you will be able to create 3D games in Unity, design dynamic characters and environments, implement AI and combat systems, and optimize your game for a seamless experience.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout this specialization, you will work on multiple projects that integrate everything from basic movement and combat to complex AI and environment design. These projects will help you apply real-world game development practices to solve authentic challenges, allowing you to build a complete zombie shooter game with dynamic mechanics and immersive gameplay.
