Hello and Welcome!

I’m your Code Monkeyand in THIS course you will learn step-by-stephow to make a Builder-Defendergame.

The design is sort of a mix between a City Builderand a Tower Defense game so if either of those genres are something you’re interested in then this course is just for you!

With the knowledge you will learn from this course you will be able to make City Builders, RTSs, Tower Defense games, Tycoons, Village simulators and much more.

About me, I’m a Professional Indie Game Developerwith several successful gamespublished on Steamcovering a wide range of genres, I’ve been Programming for over 20 years and using Unity for almost 10.

Also a couple of years ago I started a YouTubechannel making Free Video Tutorialsto share the knowledge I have accumulated to help you learn how to make YOUR OWN games.

If you’d like to try out my learning style before purchasing the course you can watch the over 300 Videosavailable for Free on the YouTube channel.

They are presented as clear step-by-step tutorials just like this course.

A bit more about the game…

It’s a really interesting mix between a City-Builderand Tower-Defensegame.

The player has the ability to place buildings and those buildings gather resources.

There’s three starting resource types, Wood, Stoneand Gold, although everything is set up in such a way that you can easily add more Resource Types.

The Resource Generation is based on proximity so a Wood Harvester needs to be placed near Trees in order to gather Wood.

The Buildings take some time to be Constructed and it shows that progress with a nice visual element and a really awesome Shader effect.

Then we also have some Enemies, they are simple but still look great.

Our HQcan defend itself by shooting arrows and we can also place Towersto add more defenses.

Over time more and more enemies will be spawned until the player can’t take it anymore.

So its all about Placing Buildings, Gathering Resources, Placing more Buildings and Defending your HQ for as long as you can.

The whole game has tons of effects and lots of awesome features. You can see some cool shaders, glow, screenshake, post processing, tooltip, lots of UI elements, smooth camera, particles and so on. The final game playsreally greatand feels very satisfying.

This course starts with a completely empty project starting completely from scratch and step-by-stepwe will get to the final game.

Everything is built in a very clean and modular way so you can easily take this as a base and expand upon it with more Building Types, Enemies, Maps and so on.

This course is presented as a thorough step-by-step guidewhere I will show you exactly how to do what I’m doing and why it is that I’m doing it so you can learn how to think like a game developer.

This course will cover a bunch of topics including:

• How to create a Building System
