Our Introduction to Game Making course is a beginner-level class introducing students to game development in engine by creating small games. No prior knowledge of programming or game design is necessary for the course, and students will learn about both topics.
If you already have ample games experience in a non-programming capacity and are interested in learning Unity, Introduction to Game Making will be useful as a creative space, covering game design and career development.
