Throughout the course, you’ll also learn C# scripting, an essential skill for customizing game behavior and functionality in Unity. The scripting section is detailed, starting from the basics and gradually moving to more complex concepts like arrays, loops, and conditional statements. By the end of the course, you’ll have a portfolio of six games and a solid foundation in Unity game development, positioning you to tackle more ambitious projects or advance your career in the gaming industry.
