What:

This workshop is going to cover the fundamentals of making a 2D game in Unity, with no prior knowledge of game making or programming needed!  We will cover:

  • scene creation
  • character controllers
  • importing and using premade assets
  • object collision & interaction
  • display of game State information on the UI

By the end you’ll have a simple 2D shoot them up that you built yourself and the knowledge base to get you started creating your own games!

When/Where:

The workshop will be taking place on Wednesday, December 6th from 6 PM – 8 PM in the room EV 11.425 at Concordia University (NB: We may change rooms depending on the size of the group).

Needs:

  • Your own laptop with Unity installed.
  • Some basics on programming.

About the workshop leaders:

Marc-Antoine Jetté-Léger is a computer science student at Concordia, minoring in Game Design. He has been programming games for three years and has had the chance to develop games in a variety of environments, from big studio projects to a handful of people getting together for game jams. He is currently juggling design and programming on a couple of personal projects and prototypes and has just released Hammurabi, a game meant to explore the theoretical notion of “characters as subjective interfaces” and procedural dialog generation.
