About the Book

Book description

Create ready-to-play 3D games with reactive environments, sound, dynamic effects, and more!

Key Features

  • Build a solid foundation for game design and game development
  • Understand the fundamentals of 3D such as coordinates, spaces, vectors, and cameras
  • Get to grips with essential Unity concepts including characters, scenes, terrains, objects, and more

Book Description

This book, written by a team of experts at Unity Technologies, follows an informal, demystifying approach to the world of game development.

You'll learn the 3D and C# fundamentals before starting to build one short segment of the full game — a vertical slice. With every progressing chapter, you'll learn to improve this game (alongside building your own) to make it ready to pitch to studios.

Within Unity 3D Game Development, you will learn to:

  • Design and build 3D characters, and the game environment
  • Think about the users’ interactions with your game
  • Develop the interface and apply visual effects to add an emotional connection to your world
  • Grasp a solid foundation of sound design, animations, and lightning to your creations
  • Build, test, and add final touches

The book is split between expert insights that you’ll read before you look into the project on GitHub to understand all the underpinnings. This way, you get to see the end result, and you’re allowed to be creative and give your own thoughts to design, as well as work through the process with the new tools we introduce.

What you will learn

  • Learn fundamentals of designing a 3D game and C# scripting
  • Design your game character and work through their mechanics and movements
  • Create an environment with Unity Terrain and ProBuilder
  • Explore instantiation and rigid bodies through physics theory and code
  • Implement sound, lighting effects, trail rendering, and other dynamic effects
  • Create a short, fully functional segment of your game in a vertical slice
  • Polish your game with performance tweaks
  • JOIN the ‘book-club' to read alongside other users, Unity experts, and ask the authors when stuck


Who this book is for

Our goal with this book is to enable every reader to build the right mindset to think about 3D games, and then show them all the steps we took to create ours.

The main target audience for this book is those with some prior knowledge in game development, though regardless of your experience, we hope to create an enjoyable learning journey for you.
