Unity 3.x Game Development by Example Beginner's Guide

If you've ever wanted to develop games, but have never felt "smart" enough to deal with complex programming, then Unity 3.x Game Development by Example is the right book for you. It's also a great kick-start for developers coming from other tools like Flash, Unreal Engine, and Game Maker Pro. The book focuses on short, attainable goals so that the reader can finish something, instead of trying to create a complex RPG or open-world game that never sees the light of day. It does not go into gory detail about how every little knob and dial functions - that's what the software manual is for! Rather, this book is the fastest path from zero to finished game using the Unity game engine.

Unity 3.x Game Development by Example shows you how to build crucial game elements that you can reuse and re-skin in many different games, using the phenomenal (and free!) Unity game engine. It initiates you into indie game culture by teaching you how to make your own small, simple games using Unity3D and some gentle, easy-to-understand code. By the time you're finished, you'll have learned to develop a number of important pieces to create your own games that focus in on that small, singular piece of joy that makes games fun.
