Only Unity fits the bill of being a game engine that allows you to create a full 3D game for
free, and with phenomenal community support. This book will equip you with the skills to
create professional looking games at no cost.
Unity 3 Game Development Hotshot will teach you how to exploit the full array of Unity
3D’s technology in order to create an advanced gaming experience for the user, with eight
exciting and challenging projects that provide a step-by-step explanation, diagrams, and
screenshots to help you achieve that goal.
Every project is designed to push your Unity skills to the very limits and beyond. You will
create a hero/heroine which will be used in an RPG game. You will create a menu for the RPG
game allowing you to customize your character with powerups, armor, and weapons. You
will shade, model, rig, and animate your hero/heroine, so that they start to look more like a
character from Final Fantasy than a simple sprite.
Now for some damage—rocket launchers! Typically the most powerful weapon in any first-
person shooter, you will create a rocket launcher that has fire and smoke particles and
most importantly causes splash damage for that all-important area effect. You will create
AI-controlled enemies for your hero/heroine to eliminate the rocket launcher. We will create
an interactive world that is destructible, so if the rocket launchers miss their target they will
damage the surrounding environment. Finally, you learn to save and load so you can take a
break from the action for life’s necessities like going to the bathroom. The final touch will be
for you to upload your scores online so everyone can see the carnage.
Who this book is for
