Learning Unity
admin | February 8, 2010
..So, here some update on the situation..!
I finally started diving into the noble art of game development..
This time, instead of relying on the good ol’ Actionscript 3, I decided to test what game engines have to offer.. And damn, they do have something to offer!
After an initial period of vague testing of different engines, I found a mentor that gave me some invaluable guidelines to kickstart me in the right direction.
Right now I’m learning to use the Unity game engine, following the very well written Unity Game Development Essentials book. For all of ye pirates, you can probably find the eBook out there.. I’ll save you the fun of the hunt..
The book offers some very detailed tutorials about the creation of a simple First Person (argh!) game. So far it’s simply a guy walking on an island, collecting batteries and throwing coconuts.. wohoo!
..but the show must go on! ..just wait for it!
