Requirements

• *** PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS COURSE IF YOU ARE AT A BEGINNER LEVEL! This course doesn’t cover C# and Unity basics. The last thing I want is for you to be frustrated and leave a negative review because you don’t have the required basic knowledge to follow the lectures. This is an intermediate course and you need the required skills listed below. I of course would love you to enrol in the course, but if you don’t have these skills start with some beginner courses and then come back once you have built a few games and have a good level of knowledge of C# and Unity. ***
• THIS IS AN INTERMEDIATE LEVEL COURSE. You should have Intermediate Unity Development Skills - and built a few Unity prototypes or games before.
• Good knowledge of the Unity editor, and how to use it's main features.
• Good knowledge of C# scripting and the fundamentals of object oriented programming.
• Good knowledge and understanding of some of the main Unity API classes and C# system classes.
• The willingness to look up anything you are not familiar with in the Unity scripting manual or C# resources online.
• Install the free Unity 3D game engine software and Visual Studio Community Edition.
• Install the free SourceTree git client to help follow along with the provided completed Unity project and the branches that correspond to completed lectures.

Target audience

• Intermediate Unity Developers who want to extend their skills and knowledge using a full project based course.
• Existing Unity developers who are fans of Enter The Gungeon or The Binding Of Issac and want to build their own 2D Roguelike dungeon shooter.
• A Unity developer who has previously built some prototypes or games and wants a challenging project course to level up their skills.
