Section II: First-Person Games

Now that you’re up to speed with Unity game development, you can move on to more complex game development topics, such as adding in-game UI elements, advanced camera techniques and using multiple weapons.

In this section, you’ll build a fast-paced first-person shooter: Robot Rampage.

Here’s a brief outline of what this section has in store:

• Chapter 9, Making a First Person Shooter: Learn how to set up your FPS game, create the map, add the player and build some kick-ass weaponry for mowing down enemies.

• Chapter 11, Unity UI: Learn how to add in-game UI, craft waves of robot enemies, add enhanced sound and music, and give your player the right weapon for the right job.

Section III: Unity 2D Games

3D games are undeniably awesome, but you just can’t beat a classic 2D platformer game.

In this section, you’ll build a game to test your reflexes as you help your hero battle his way to a well-deserved lunch in Super Soy Boy:

Here’s the chapters and topics you’ll cover while helping Super Soy Boy avoid those terrifying buzzsaws:

Section IV: Tower Defense

Combining strategy and action results in compelling games that are easy to pick up — and hard to put down.

In this section, you’ll create a 3D tower defense game — Runestrife — with such beautifully-rendered enemies it almost seems a shame to shoot them:

When you’re not busy defending your towers from advancing waves of enemies, here’s what you’ll learn:

• Chapter 18, Making a Tower Defense Game: Learn how to build a title screen, create a map using 3D tiles, make enemies move around on a path, and make your life easier with utility scripts.

• Chapter 20, Virtual Reality: Learn how to bring your game into the 21st century and make your game VR-compatible with the virtual reality hardware now available.
• Chapter 21, Publishing your Game: Learn how to prepare your game for publication and how to make it available on the various online game portals.
