Unity is the game engine of choice for games such as Hollow Knight: Silksong, City Skylines 2, and even Pokemon Go, but learning how to use it from scratch can be a nasty boss fight. Fortunately, Humble Bundle is offering the level-up you need to make stand-out games, with a limited offer on the Learn Unity Game Development Bundle 2024 getting you $1,645 / £1,301.39 worth of resources for just $25 / £19.27.
You could begin with the Complete Unity 3D C# Developer Course run by Rick Davidson, the CEO of GameDev.tv, and Stephen Hubbard, the developer of Tilecraft. Unity uses C# as its main programming language. All of the best indie games use code (and Hollow Knight: Silksong will be no exception) but thankfully C# is far less intimidating than C++ language if you have the know-how, and there’s plenty of time to learn while we wait for the Hollow Knight Silksong release date.
In the course, you’ll go through a series of short, snappy lectures that demonstrate how to make simple games based around dodging obstacles or boosting rockets. From there, you’ll have the foundation knowledge you need to start making your dream game a reality – but it’s a long journey.
Another highlight of the bundle is the Unity Turn-Based Strategy Course which, as you might guess, gives you the keys to making one of the best turn-based strategy games. Meanwhile, if you want to master cinematics and wow your players with a moving story, there’s the Unity Cutscenes course. With these two combined, you could cook up a game with as much depth and nuance to its story as it has in its core gameplay. You never know, we might end up reviewing your game in 2026!
Unlike other tutorials, these Unity courses are incredibly accessible. Each lecture is relatively short to keep you focused and comes with subtitles available. Courses at GamedevTV have very active forums and a healthy Discord for you to ask any questions you need.
This Unity bundle is available until Thursday November 28, 2024. It is the perfect investment for aspiring game developers. Some of the profits go to environmental charity, Oceana, investing in everyone’s future.
