As a game engine, Unity is a powerful tool developers use to bring their projects to life, including complex, engaging 2D games. Professionals and hobbyists alike have leveraged the program to create everything from smash hit mobile games to best-selling indies on the world’s most popular libraries.
In this workshop for Innovators, students will be introduced to the core principles of designing and developing an engaging 2D video game. Instructors will help students analyze what makes their favorite games so fun to play while guiding them through the many robust features of Unity.
By the end of the course, students will have the ability to design and iterate their own basic video game which they can continue to develop and refine at home.
