Did you ever dream to make a game ?
If the answer is yes, then this 'series' will help you... Else, start dreaming!!!
What is the difference between an App Developer and a Game Developer ?
An app developer makes apps a game developer makes games... Nothing else...
What do I need to know to make a game ?
Game development, is a bit Math heavy than App Development... So you should be a bit good at Math...
You should be knowing, Arithmetic and Linear Algebra (ofc, you are not a dev to me if you don't know it), Intermediate Trigonometry and Vector Math..
But in this series... You only need to know Arithmetic and Linear Algebra.. I will help with the rest.
What are we going to use to make a game ?
There are countless options to which you make a game against.. There are different Engines, Frameworks and Libraries we can make games against.. In this series we are going to be using Unity... An epic game engine which is very simple to learn but is very powerful...
What is a game engine ?
A game engine is a special framework which allows you to make games without doing all the heavy lifting yourself... They can handle Rendering, Physics, Cross Platform Compatibility, Sound, Animation etc.
Getting the stuff....
So, to work with Unity, you need to download some stuff...
Unity (ofc) : unity3d.com/unity
And that's it!!!!
But I do recommend downloading Visual Studio 2015.. Unity comes with an IDE called MonoDevelop but Visual Studio is better.. If you want Visual Studio, download and install it before running Unity installer... www.visualstudio.com/
Okay, I finished installing Unity, now what ?
Play around with it!!! Get yourself equipped with the Editor... But anyways, I will explain the stuff to you in Part 1.
What are we going to make ?
We are going to make a basic 2D platformer game with boxes and stuff...
What!!! A stupid 2D platformer, I want to make the next Call of Duty or the next <THEGAMEYOUWANTTOMAKE> ?
Please, don't think you can make a game like that right now... Those are made by 50 or so expert people, collaborating and working tirelessly... But still they take years to make !!!! So let's start small then slowly come to that level....
HAVE FUN!!!!!
