Course Description

Learn how to create your very own platformer game using Unity and C#, an industry-standard program used by many large gaming studios and indie developers across the world.

This course has been designed to be easily understandable to everyone, so whether you’re a complete beginner, an artist looking to expand their game development range or a programmer interested in understanding game design, this course will help you gain a greater understanding of development.

At the end of this course you will have developed the ability to create such game elements as:

  • Coding with c#, building from the basics up

  • A character with full movement, running, jumping & double-jumping capabilites

  • Collectibles such as fruit & extra health

  • Parallaxing background effects

  • moving & flying enemies

  • Level Mechanics like Spikes, moving platforms, crushing blocks & more

Instructor Details

James Doyle

Hi, I'm James. I have helped thousands of people learn how to develop their own games in Unity, and whether you're a first-time developer, or need to refresh your skills, I can help you learn to make the games you want to make.

With a bachelors degree in Computer Science and a background working in independent game development, I have been helping others to create their own games and release them on multiple platforms.

I believe in helping you learn by teaching code in context, so rather than having to memorize a bunch of stuff you've never seen before, you learn how each coding concept can be applied to real working problems in your games.

I can't wait to help you learn all about making your own games and how to make them a success.

So why not start learning to make games with me now?

See you soon!

James

Good course for beginners! Many useful knowledge and practical game elements. Coding is good for absolute beginners and should be improved after this course.

By Elad Fisher on 1/17/2025

As a programmer (mostly in C++), it is a good and fast course to understand the flow of both Unity and how to work with C# in Unity. Would definitely recommend this course to newcomers in Unity as well as pepole how need a refresher like myself.

By Dennis Schmalstieg on 7/6/2024

It is again a very good course. But I have to say, in my opinion, the old course from 2020 is a little bit better. Some parts of the code, especially in the checkpoint part, are a little bit weirdly structured. I had a little bit of trouble following it clearly. But overall, a very good course. I would just prefer the other one for 2D Unity jump 'n' runs.

By Fernando Giroto on 6/30/2024

The course has a lot of content. However, most of the time the instructor doesn't explain what he's doing, he just puts the code in and I often felt like I was just copying and pasting what was being explained. But what I didn't like is that the instructor doesn't answer any of the students' questions or suggestions (at least all the questions I saw during the course weren't answered, including mine), so be prepared for that. I didn't give it fewer stars because I thought the course covered a lot of interesting points and I think it can give you a basis for a good understanding of future courses or studies. I also liked the fact that it repeats the teachings quite a lot and that helped to make them stick. But again, I think it lacked more theory. If you're looking for an introductory course, I think it might be worthwhile.

Really enjoying the course thus far – thank you so much!! My only feedback would be regarding video editing for tutorials – it can be a little bit of a nuisance when we follow your line of workflow only to repeat the same mistakes you leave in your videos.

By Zach E on 5/29/2024

Great tutorial. I've tried to follow a few Unity tutorials before this with some rudimentary knowledge in C#, and this was the first course that made me confident that I can actually make my own game.

By Thomas Skyrow on 2/25/2024

Very nice course, it was packed with so much information; I definitely feel way more skiled than before taking this course. Thank you, and as some have mentioned in the comments, it would be nice if you offered more advanced courses - I would definitely buy them.

By Mostafaaaaa83 on 1/28/2024

excellent course , I started with no experience, but after the full course twice, I started to understand the code and the logic of code. very recommended course for any beginner

By Aisen Romanov on 1/22/2024

I think this is the best Unity course on Udemy for beginners. I'm even surprised that so few people have completed it. Before this, I tried many courses on this website, but each time, instructors would lose their enthusiasm midway or at the end and just write code without explanations. This is the only course I've completed on this website because I found it incredibly engaging throughout the entire journey!

By Joe Clowsley on 1/7/2024

Great teacher, one of the best instructors i've used, Teaches solid structure for build your games upon, best i could describe it as he helps you make the Lego blocks which you then have the freedom to build what you want with, he reinforces good practices while explaining everything in details that still great for new programmers/game devs.
