By enrolling today, you’ll also get to join our exclusive live online community classroom on Discord where you'll learn alongside thousands of students, alumni, mentors, TAs and Instructors.
Most importantly, you'll be learning from a senior industry professional that has actual real-world experience with Unity game development and the C# programming language.
What is Unity?
First perhaps we should answer...what is Unity?
Unity is an industry-leading, cross-platform game engine that is commonly used for creating 3D, 2D, AR, and VR games. It's a powerful tool that allows you to easily create and deploy games across a wide range of platforms and devices.
If you've played any video games (if you're here, we assume you have), then we're willing to bet that you've played a video game built using Unity... and now you can learn how they're made and build your own.
Why has Unity become so popular to use?
- Unity offers a wide range of features and tools that make the game development process user-friendly
- It has built-in physics systems, animation systems, and supports a wide range of third-party assets and tools so that you can build anything your imagination can create
- There's a large community of developers who contribute to Unity's development, so it's constantly improving and staying at the leading edge of game development.
These reasons are also a big part of what makes candidates with Unity skills so in-demand.
