Professional game design in Unity 6
Preview this Course
Description
Welcome to my new course where we will be Making a Mario Kart style racing game in Unity 6.
I will take you step by step through the process of creating a complete game from start to finish.
Beginner to Intermediate level coding
We write our own code throughout the game and look in detail at writing code specifically for racing cars and karts. This also covers computer controlled AI karts that challenge you to a competitive race.
What we create
The course features three cartoony race tracks. The first track we create ourselves from scratch, covering track design using Unity splines. Asset layout and animated obstacles.
The karts have special items such as boxing gloves so you can punch the opponents out of the way when they are too close. Missiles so you can blow up karts that are up ahead of you. Cartoon bombs that can blow up karts behind you and oil splats that will cause opponents to spin out and lose control.
Single player and local multiplayer
We use the Unity Input System, so you can control the kart using keyboard and mouse, or gamepad. We create a local multiplayer mode for 2, 3 or 4 local players. Note that this isn't online multiplayer, but local multiplayer where up to 4 players can use the same computer to race against each other.
Develop game design and coding skills
By the end of this course you will have developed skills and knowledge to make your own awesome driving games and have a completed game for your portfolio of work. The end product is yours and you can share it with friends or even upload online.
You don't need any previous game design experience as I take you through it step by step. You can of course continue to add your own ideas, tracks, cars and assets to this project. If you get stuck just drop me a message in the Q & A section and I'll help you get everything sorted.
Why not enrol today and I look forward to seeing you in the course.

1. Introduction
At the beginning of the course, you'll learn the basics: what each tool does, how to use different windows, and the essentials of how Substance Painter works, giving you a solid start for the rest of the learning experience.
2. Principle of Starting Projects
We start by learning how Substance Painter operates and how to get our models ready, making sure to avoid common mistakes. We'll also pick up some handy tips for working with UV mapping and unwrapping along the way.
3. First Project: Steel Pot
Once we've got the basics down, we move on to a practical project. We'll texture a steel pot in Substance Painter, show off our work in Marmoset Toolbag, and along the way, pick up the basics of using Marmoset.
4. Military Hat Project
Get ready to start the military hat project in Substance Painter! First, check your model's UV. Import it, bake the mesh maps, and tweak display settings. Then, dive into crafting materials like leather, metal, and fabric. Add cool seams and stitches for detail. Use Substance Sampler AI to turn images into materials. Finish up, export your textures, and see your creation shine in Marmoset Toolbag!
5. Nordic Axe Project
Let's see some Substance Painter magic! First, set up your model and check its UV. Then, import it, bake mesh maps, and tweak display settings. Dive into the fun part by adding details to the handle and metal head. Create cool wood and metal materials, add finishing touches, and export your textures. See your creation shine in the Marmoset Toolbag. Take it further by transferring materials to a low-poly model and check it out in Unreal Engine for the final use stage!
6. Scifi Blade Project
Gear up for Project Scifi Blade adventure! Begin by setting up your model and use the Overlap method for UV. Then, jump into the action - import your model, bake mesh maps, and fine-tune display settings. Get hands-on crafting details for both the blade and handle. Develop materials for the handle, including plastic and steel-painted textures. Dive into the blade with base and layered materials. Elevate your design with surface decals and text, export your textures, and witness your creation in all its glory with a Marmoset Toolbag render.
7. Scifi Blade Project
Are you ready to texture an environment asset? Let's kick things off with an air conditioner. We'll begin by prepping the model for Substance Painter, setting up the scene, and diving into our creative process.
A highlight of this section is creating a custom mask using Photoshop, adding a touch of realism to our work. Once we've completed the texturing process in Substance Painter and achieved a fantastic air conditioner material, it's time to showcase our creation in Marmoset Toolbag.
8. Sniper gun
We're going to make a cool sniper gun! Handling the textures can be tricky, but we'll manage the details in Substance Painter. We'll also learn about creating designs for the gun using new methods for materials like wood, metal, and plastic. After that, we'll use Marmoset to make our sniper gun look even cooler.

Description
Do you want to create a professional looking horror survival game in Unity? Well you've found the right course. This is aimed at anybody who loves game design and wants to make awesome games.
My name is Pete Jepson and I have taught game design for over 5 years. In this series we will be making a game where your first person character has to try and survive against a gang of maniacs, armed with a variety of weapons
You don't need previous experience as I will be guiding you through the course step by step, showing you how to make the game and to write the code using C#. I will be giving you interesting assignments throughout to build your experience and knowledge in game design.
You will need a powerful computer to complete this project, so please ensure your computer meets the minimum specifications as displayed on the course home page.
So, what's in the course?
we start by creating the visuals to establish a night time look for the game. Then we will equip the player with a flashlight and a nightvision camera.
Then we will move onto lighting the scene to create an interesting aesthetic quality. We will add fog for atmosphere to give it a professional quality look
The enviornment map and props are free to download and you can use them in any game you decide to create.
We will Add sounds and music to bring the scene to life.
Then we will import enemy characters and add walking, running and attack animations using the mecanim animator window in Unity to seamlessly blend between a wide range of motions.
We will work on navigation path finding and artifical intelligence, allowing the enemy characters to make their own decisions on where to go and what to do. Once the enemies detect you, they will discover their own different ways to hunt you down!
Then we will work on a player inventory menu, displaying which weapons you have picked up. Each weapon has a different strength, speed and noise.
Then we will move on to the stealth mechanics, allowing the player to attempt to sneak around the map unnoticed. But the enemies are clever and once they spot you they will go into pursuit mode.
This brings us to the combat system, where the enemy will attack you and you can attack them. You will need to choose the right weapon to try and kill the enemies, because they are fast and very strong. If you try and stand and exchange strikes with them you won't last very long, so strategy is the key to defeating the enemies.
We will also be adding a save system so players can save and load their progress between sessions.
We finally work on a main menu and in game options such as changing lighting, volume and switching on or off antialiasing and fog, as well as difficulty settings.
By the end of this course you will have a completed horror survival game which you can export out as a finished product. You will have developed the skills, confidence and understanding of how to make your own games in Unity.
This course includes the following free assets:
Free horror environment 3D scene
Free weapons
6 free realistic animated enemy characters
Free sounds and music
Free music by Bensound
