Creating First-Person Shooter Games with Unity

Video description

FPS (first-person shooter) games are one of today's most popular game genres. In this hands-on course, you'll learn to use the Unity game engine to build an FPS game all the way from nothing to a complete game.

  • Discover how to create an AI enemy that can attack the player
  • Learn about level design, re-spawning, power-ups, health boosts, and speed pickups

  • Build a game you can modify and add to later on
