Course Description

Have you ever wanted to create games but just didn't know where to start? Do you have beginner programming experience and want to delve deeper into the landscape of game design? If you answered yes to these questions, you're in the right place. In this course I will be taking you step by step through Unity to get you on your way to developing games that people are going to love. This course will require you to have basic programming knowledge, but with this in mind, we will be delving into why things are coded the way they are throughout the entire course.


We will be creating a prototype of a city builder game that will introduce you to many of the concepts required for game development. This city builder will introduce you to getting inputs from the user, instantiating objects in the game, building an economy class, and building usable, updating UI systems for the game, that work in conjunction with the economy class.


This game will be a working prototype that you can leave as is or expand upon when finished, and I will be giving you ideas throughout the course on how you can do so. The economy and UI for example can be expanded upon almost infinitely, depending on how deep you want to go into personalizing the game.

Instructor Details

Zackary Seger

My name is Zackary Seger, and I graduated in December 2022 with an Associates of Technology in Application and Web Development. To complete my schooling, I completed right around 1000 hours of in-person hands-on lab work. These hours of course do not include the time spent at lectures, which puts the total number well above 1200 hours spent on software development studies in the two years of study. I graduated Cum Laude with exactly a 3.5 GPA.

The sound is awful! It has very disturbing background noise.

Learning something new in 2026!

It's a very good course so far and it is informative for beginners but it sounds like the instructor is tired and not energetic enough, no offense. But, other than that, its a very good course and can go a long way.

By Graham Bond on 11/13/2025

In general good, but there was a few places where audio was not great, and the code changes between lessons although small, is enough to confuse the observant viewer. Consistent code between lessons is a must for People building their first Game.

It's fast at explaining sometimes, but even so I learnt a lot from this course at coding.

It's a good course! I don't know why they rated it poorly. This city builder content is hard to find, and we have it for free here! Congratulations to the instructor

Really love this course, it’s everything I’ve been looking for!!!

By Robert Seger on 9/17/2024

The instructor Zak is very well spoken and knowledgeable. Also he respond super quick when you reach out over email for help. Brought me up to speed super quick on getting started creating games. I didn’t know where to start until I found this. This has given me a sturdy foundation to build and learn from!!! Can’t wait to see where this goes!
