Course Description

you want to create a professional looking horror survival game in Unity? Well you've found the right course. This is aimed at anybody who loves game design and wants to make awesome games.
My name is Pete Jepson and I have taught game design for over 5 years. In this series we will be making a game where your first person character has to try and survive against a gang of maniacs, armed with a variety of weaponsYou don't need previous experience as I will be guiding you through the course step by step, showing you how to make the game and to write the code using C#. I will be giving you interesting assignments throughout to build your experience and knowledge in game design.
You will need a powerful computer to complete this project, so please ensure your computer meets the minimum specifications as displayed on the course home page.
So, what's in the course?
we start by creating the visuals to establish a night time look for the game. Then we will equip the player with a flashlight and a nightvision camera.
Then we will move onto lighting the scene to create an interesting aesthetic quality. We will add fog for atmosphere to give it a professional quality lookThe enviornment map and props are free to download and you can use them in any game you decide to create.
We will Add sounds and music to bring the scene to life.
Then we will import enemy characters and add walking, running and attack animations using the mecanim animator window in Unity to seamlessly blend between a wide range of motions.
We will work on navigation path finding and artifical intelligence, allowing the enemy characters to make their own decisions on where to go and what to do. Once the enemies detect you, they will discover their own different ways to hunt you down!
Then we will work on a player inventory menu, displaying which weapons you have picked up. Each weapon has a different strength, speed and noise.
Then we will move on to the stealth mechanics, allowing the player to attempt to sneak around the map unnoticed. But the enemies are clever and once they spot you they will go into pursuit mode.
This brings us to the combat system, where the enemy will attack you and you can attack them. You will need to choose the right weapon to try and kill the enemies, because they are fast and very strong. If you try and stand and exchange strikes with them you won't last very long, so strategy is the key to defeating the enemies.
We will also be adding a save system so players can save and load their progress between sessions.
We finally work on a main menu and in game options such as changing lighting, volume and switching on or off antialiasing and fog, as well as difficulty settings. By the end of this course you will have a completed horror survival game which you can export out as a finished product. You will have developed the skills, confidence and understanding of how to make your own games in Unity.
This course includes the following free assets:

happy that this course exists :D

By Maciej Tokarzewski on 12/20/2020

This is the best course I've bought on Udemy. The instructor shows step by step how to create a survival horror game. The code is very simple and easy to understand. It's a very good course for beginners and more experienced programmers.
During the course you can learn a lot about game design and different game mechanics used in horror games. Later you can implement these mechanics into your own games, which is very useful (Combat system, Save/Load mechanic, Inventory, Stamina, locked doors). Instructor responds very quickly if you have any questions or problems with your project.

I did it!!! Seriously, never touched Unity and I had only programmed "hello world". I wanted to make a video game, because it's practically all my kiddos play or talk about and I thought it'd be a fun way to understand their world. It took me 8 weeks and I almost threw my computer out of my second-story window five different times out of complete frustration. It's probably the hardest thing I have done intellectually speaking in my adult life, the equivalent to a mental ultra-marathon. I had no idea what I was doing AT ALL, but Professor Jepson provides truly top-shelf instruction. This course is comprehensive, if you've ever wanted to program a game, know how they work or just wish to abuse your brain, this is the place for you. It was rewarding and fun. Best of all, after I completed the game, my wife tried it out and screamed twice! Priceless horror... my son high-fived me and laughed, it was the best. Thank you Professor Jepson.

This is a very good course!
If I had some questions they got answered very fast!

By Brendan Sullivan on 12/13/2020

Wow, this class not only teaches how to make a horror game but how to take your game to the next level in a very easy to learn fashion. I have taken these lessons into VR and have done great things. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

So far I'm learning some good stuff. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store.

By Chris on 11/22/2020

The course is very good, there are a few moments where it is basically saying 'now do this and put it to this level' while I'm thinking 'ok, but what does it DO though!' Obviously this is meant for experimentation but there were a few moments where something was zoomed through and I had no idea why I was doing the thing that I was doing. However the tutor is very easy to follow and understand, and it has encouraged me to play around more rather than playing it safe and following instructions to the letter (which could be the intended course of action!) Only up to section 10 so a way to go yet, but thoroughly enjoying it so far!

I think it's a great crash course. I like that it starts off with the graphics, the rendering, the camera and the visual side overall. Knowing how to apply these is what separates a game that looks polished from ones that look unfinished. I would never imagine this is done so easily in Unity. And yet, because the teacher structured the course in this way, we get to see those effects with a ready made scene so early in the course. I had a real 'wow' moment the first time I've seen lights bouncing off the water and would never have guessed it's achieved with bloom. I like the end result of the course. It's way better than other courses which leave you off with some really weird looking end product. Here there is a lot of emphasis on atmosphere, even if the end result is not far from basic in terms of gameplay mechanics, it is presented with a level of quality that you won't achieve following other less thought out courses. Definitely recommended.

Very nice course, but it takes a bit of time to finish it. Mr. Jepson is a very experienced developer especially in terms of programming. He helped me out when I was stuck.
I learned a lot and was able to make my own game design project.

By Jeremy Jonkers on 11/5/2020

Tot nu toe een heldere uitleg.

By Manosh Tamrongchot on 10/23/2020

Good explanation.

By Keiron Jacobs on 10/18/2020

Just what I was looking for, so far so good
