In this course, you’ll begin by mastering Unity's NavMesh system to create intelligent agents capable of navigating complex environments. You'll learn how to handle challenging situations like moving agents across ramps, narrow places, and stairs, as well as making them jump using off-mesh links. These essential AI skills will allow you to develop more realistic and dynamic game worlds.
Next, you'll shift focus to mobile game development, where you'll learn how to build an Android game from start to finish. You'll explore critical mobile concepts like handling touch inputs, utilizing accelerometers, and implementing responsive UI elements. This hands-on section ensures you're ready to create mobile games that feel natural and intuitive for users.
Finally, you’ll dive into the full cycle of 3D game development. From setting up game levels to managing score systems, particle effects, and animations, this course guides you through every step. By the end, you'll know how to manage complex projects using version control and confidently publish your completed game on multiple platforms.
This course is perfect for intermediate to advanced Unity users who have a solid understanding of C# programming. Experience with Unity’s basics is recommended, but no prior knowledge of AI or mobile development is required.
