This course will teach you what you need to know in order
to make a 2D sprite based game in Unity editor version 5.6 (Latest Beta
version at this time). The techniques used in this series are the same
ones I used to make my own game Heart Battle for PC and mobile devices.
Currently the course in in progress, it will be completed in the coming
month and should be updated from time to time with new relevant content
after that as well. The rough finished course list should look something
like this when done.
