You’ll also learn the tools for creating in-game assets that add life to your game worlds - 3D models for environments, props, characters and vehicles, 2D digital images for textures, UI and in-game art, audio, rigging, animations and everything your game needs.
On top of that, you’ll learn all the gameplay design principles and frameworks that separate a finished game from a good game. We won’t just teach you how to make your character jump – we’ll teach you why your character jumps!
