Curso 1 de 5 en Game Design and Development Programa Especializado

If you love games and want to learn how to make them, then this course will start you down that path. Making games is a creative and technical art form. In this course you will familiarize yourself with the tools and practices of game development. You will get started developing your own videogames using the industry standard game development tools, including the Unity3D game engine and C#. At the end of the course you will have completed three hands-on projects and will be able to leverage an array of game development techniques to create your own basic games. This course is for individuals interested in becoming a game designer, game artist, or game programmer.

The tutorials are so simple and so useful for the beginners who doesn't know much about any software development. The projects are also very basic for us for starting. I would rate it 5/5 for this.

Very detailed and well-explained course. Thank you very much for teaching me the valuable concepts in Unity and game design. I highly recommend it for anyone, even if you are not a game designer.

De la lección

Creating Games in Unity3D

Unity3D is a powerful tool for creating games. In this module, you will create your first actual game from start to finish, called Roller Madness. This ball rolling game will introduce you to the concepts of physics, health and damage, pickups, enemies, spawners, a user interface, and a variety of visual and audio effects. This is your right of passage into game development!

Animation is one way to add visual polish to our game.

We'll discuss the animation tools in much more detail in the future.

But for now, let's just create a simple animation.

Our objective will be to create a simple animation shimmer on the DeathZone

gameObject to communicate the fact that it's dangerous to the player.

Okay, the first thing that I'm gonna need to do to create my animation

is select the DeathZone game object.

Of course I can find it in the environment, but

we haven't actually used the hierarchy search, so let's go ahead and do that.

So up here at the top of the hierarchy I can just start typing Death and

there it is.

It basically modifies the hierarchy just to select or

just to highlight the things that we're searching for.

If I cancel out, it will actually show the entire hierarchy and

show the actual object that I selected, which is a nice feature.

One other nice editor thing that we haven't looked at yet

is actually full screening panes.

So with your mouse, over one of the areas of the editor,

you can just hit Shift + Spacebar.

And it basically makes the scene view, in this case, full screen.

And of course, I can do all the things that I do with the scene view, and

then hit Shift + Spacebar to go back.

If I want to highlight the hierarchy, I can do Shift + Spacebar over

the hierarchy and it makes that full screen, Shift+space to reduce that.

So there's some other nice editor things that you can pick up along the way.

So we're gonna create an animation.

So the game object is selected and

the way that we create an animation is through the animation system.

We haven't looked at that yet so

let's go ahead to the window and you can see there's animation right here.

So we're gonna open up the animation window which is Cmd+6 or

Ctrl+6 on Windows.

This is a pretty straight forward animation editor as we'll see.

It says to begin animating DeathZone create an Animator and an Animation Clip.

So the way that animation works is it attaches an Animator component

to the game object, and

then the Animator component uses Animation Clips to actually create the animation.

We'll be looking at animations in much more detail down the road,

but we're just gonna create a simple animation today.

So let me go ahead and click Create.

Animation is actually an asset just like your other assets.

So there'll be a file in the project.

And I'm gonna go ahead and call this my DeathZone Animation and

you can see it actually created a DeathZone Animator in my project.

And it attached it to my game object, you can see it right here and

it created a DeathZone Animation.

So it sort of seeded it with one animation.

And you can see right here in the animator,

right now I've got that DeathZone Animation showing.

There's no data yet, but there it is.

And you can create additional clips, right here, in the interface.

But we're just gonna have one animation.

Working with this animation system, this is where multiple monitors would be nice.

But since we don't have that here, I'm going to actually take this window and

I could drag on the tab and bring it right down into one of the panes.

So now I've got the game view and the animation.

So I can actually see this in my standard interface and

not have it in a separate window, which is kind of nice when working with animation.

The animation editor is pretty straight forward.

We've got a timeline here.

It goes from zero time to one second.

It's based on the number of samples, 60 samples.

We can, of course, increase that, but it will work fine for

what we're doing here today.

And notice Record is hit.

So I can hit that to stop recording.

But when the Record button is pressed,

basically the things that I do in the editor will actually record.

So with the DeathZone game object, let me go over to the Materials.

And I'm gonna go ahead and pick the color swatch for the tint of the Albedo texture.

And let me go ahead and drag this down a little bit to make it slightly darker.

And you can see, over here in the animation editor,

because I'm recording, it actually created a key frame for the item that I just did.

Let me move out in time a little bit, so I can just click up in the timeline.

Let's move out to 0.2 and open up editor again.

Let me go back to maybe about where it was, kind of a bright red.

And there you can see another key frame was created and

then let me go out a little farther to maybe 40.

And open up the editor again and

ideally I get the exact same red color because it's gonna loop.

So I'm just gonna eyeball it here about to there and then let me sample this clip.

So press Play and you can see it's

basically cycling from the dark to the light and back to the dark.

And once again I probably would want to be precise with this to have the exact same

color for the looping to take place.

Now this is just one property.

I can of course edit additional properties.

So with the Record button still selected, I could go back here and

let's say I'm just going to move it down a little bit to -2.1, set that key frame.

Come out here to 0.2 again, and set it back to -2.

Come out a little bit farther, and set it to -2.1.

And once again I can play again and you can see that it's changing the color and

it's slightly moving it up and down a little bit.

Okay so my animation is essentially done.

I can untap record so I'm not recording anymore and

I can switch back to the game view.

So if I actually play the game now,

you can see that that effect is happening.

And of course I can go back and play with this additionally.

Now one thing of note is since this has a box collider on it and

now we're moving it with animation, we should probably have a RigidBody

component on the DeathZone just for optimization purposes.

So let me go ahead and add the RigidBody component.

And, since we are moving it through animation, we certainly don't want gravity

and we want Is Kinematic because it is being driven by animation.

So that'll just speed up the game due to efficiencies and

how the Unity engine works.

In the next video we'll finish off our game by spawning additional pick-ups and

enemies in the game.
