What Will I Learn?

• Create beautiful custom cards and creatures for your game.
• Show enlarged previews when you are hovering over a card or a creature.
• Enable card rotation and design a custom card back.
• Highlight cards that your players can play and creatures that can attack this turn with glows around their border.
• 2 different ways to drag cards in trading card games: just dragging cards onto the battlefield area to play them, or dragging onto a specific target to cast spell or attack with creatures.
• Show targeting gizmo with an arrow and a target icon when attacking with creatures or casting spells.
• Create adaptive layouts for your player`s hand and table areas. We are not using pre-determined places for cards. All the creatures and cards will always remain centered.
• Make a Hearthsone-styled mana pool with 10 mana crystals. Players start the game with 0 mana and in the start of each turn they will receive 1 mana crystal.
• Create framed Hero portraits and round Hero Power buttons.
• Create a burning rope that will measure time left until the end of the turn.
• Create decks with variable thickness. The more cards your deck contains – the thicker it looks.
• Separate Visual and Logical part of your game (aka server – game client).
• Create a simple system to manage, edit and create new cards, creatures or Hero classes.
• Manage turns in trading card games.
• Establish the most basic game mechanics of playing creatures and attacking opponent`s creatures or opponent`s Hero.
• Create custom effects for your spells and Hero Powers.
• Create diverse creature effects that might be triggered: when the creature enters the battlefield, when the creature dies, when the turn starts or ends or even when certain events occur in the game (like: when your Hero takes damage, draws a card, etc…).
• Determine “game over” conditions and show some end game animations or events.
• Create a simple computer AI that will control opponent`s Hero.

Includes:

• 7.5 hours on-demand video
• 1 Article
• 11 Supplemental Resources

Description

We at Mammoth Interactive value input from students like you. Please feel free to leave us your feedback or questions. We are always happy to help.

In this course, you learn how to build a 3D game with Unity and Blender. This course is unique because we make both the code and the art for the game from scratch. We teach you the fundamentals of designing, coding, and modeling a 3D game.

First you design the game "The Legend of Zenda" and its functionality in Unity. You learn how to code in C# and build video game levels. Don't worry if you've never coded before. We start simple and add more to the game as the course goes on. 

Why Unity?

Unity is one of the most popular platforms in game development. You can use Unity to build 2D and 3D games. Unity is cross-platform, which means it is easy to use with other platforms.

Then you create the 3D models for the game in Blender. You build all the art assets for the game, including the characters, weapons, cannon, dungeon, and temple. You learn how to integrate your art from Blender into Unity. 

Why Blender?

Blender, like Unity, is a popular production suite that is free to download. Blender is a revolutionary tool for making 3D art digitally. With Blender, you can make art assets for games, like we do in this course. 

Even if you're not an artist, you can make basic art models. You may have heard of Axiom Verge and Stardew Valley. These games are million-dollar successes. But did you know that only one person made each? 

Usually it takes a whole team of people to build a game. But creators Thomas Happ and Eric Barone developed and designed their games by themselves. Now they're millionaires. You can do it, too.

Let's get started!
