Description

Want to get started in the world of 2D game development with Unity? This book will take your hand and guide you through this amazing journey to let you know exactly what you need to build the games you want to build, without sacrificing quality. You will build a solid understanding of Unity 5.x, by focusing with the embedded tools to develop 2D games. In learning about these, along with accurate explanations and practical examples, you will design, develop, learn how to market and publish a delectable Tower Defense game about cupcakes versus pandas.

In the vast sea of technical manuals, each of us is looking for something specific. I found exactly what I wanted in this book: a clear, step-by-step guide to writing a real game with Unity. I was not looking for abstract theory or academic blah blah, therefore if you are looking for those, you shouldn't probably buy this one.But if you are, as I am, into serious game programming and want to learn without useless fatigue how to develop your own game, together with priceless insider tips along the way, then you've come to the right place. I haven't read it all yet (a bit more than halfway through), but I am programming as I proceed, and the tower defense game that is coming out is pretty cool. It won't be my final product, of course, but I am planning on experimenting with variations until I get to my perfect tower defense game!

I'm getting started! And this book's helping me so much. A few days ago I even proposed it to my teacher, I'm quite sure he's going to adopt it for his course.

I've read enough technical books over the years to know that reading a really great one is effortless, and reading a not so great one can be the most frustrating thing. This one's not so great. The main problem this book suffers from is that the author tells you what he wants you to do, but not EXACTLY what he wants you to do. Quick example, in an early chapter the author explains all about the Sprite Editor by stepping through an example with an actual sprite. Then he tells you to do the rest of the sprites in the example game the same way before moving on. When you try do it the same way, you wind up with sprites getting cut right through the middle of the graphics and you're left wondering if this is intentional or not? Then it takes way too much time and effort to decide on what to do next, and once you do decide, you don't know if you've done it right or not. This happens over and over again throughout the book, and it takes quite an effort to figure out what's going on. If you like a challenge and a struggle while learning, then this book might be for you. If you learn better from clear instructions and want to breeze through each topic like I do, then look for another Unity book.
