You don't need to know a single thing about game development to take this course.
So What Is a Game Engine?
A game engine is framework which facilitates the kinds of tasks which need to be done when writing a game. So what are the kinds of tasks we want to do? We would probably want to display images on the screen (in game terminology, an image which is displayed on the screen is called a sprite). We may need to draw menus or text on the screen. We might want to organise our sprites so that some are behind others. Often games use realistic physic so objects collide or fall with gravity. A game engine will help us do these things and many more.

Detailed information on 3D fundamentals related to Unity. Learned a lot.
By Daniel Callaby on 5/16/2016
Answered some questions I've had about Unity for a while, but haven't been able to find answers for. Really informative about some of the overlooked-but-still-very-important aspects of the engine. Cheers!

I really liked how less conventional things are taught in this course.
By Ovidiu Bodea on 3/11/2016
I finally understand the difference between Euler angles (provided in the inspector) and Quaternions (what we should always use when performing rotations in script), and some really nice troubleshooters for common rendering problems.

Nice explanations but I kind of waited for something more specific on game development on Unity rather than modeling principles. Yet very accurate and interesting informations
