Game Changer, Introduction to Unity2D

with Ramsey Nasser

Description

The popular Unity3D engine has recently added native support for 2D graphics, which has the potential to turn the world of 2D games upside down. You no longer have to create 3D models or manage a 3D world to use this powerful tool. Exciting 2D games for web, desktop, or mobile platforms are easier to make than ever without sacrificing Unity’s incredible workflow. Anyone interested in developing these kinds of games should become familiar with it.

This four hour workshop will cover the basics of Unity and focus on its new 2D features. Towards the end of the workshop, we’ll build a simple game together.
