Course Description

Overview

Watch a 35-minute video tutorial demonstrating the process of creating a game in just one hour using a custom game engine. Follow along as the developer designs a rocket in Blender, imports it into the engine, adds scripting for behavior, creates obstacles, implements scoring and game over mechanics, adds visual effects like fracturing and particles, and enhances the gameplay with audio and animations. Learn about rapid game development techniques, problem-solving, and iterative design as the project evolves from concept to playable game within a tight time constraint.
