Synopsis

In the past, not being able to program meant not being able to make video games. Now if you can draw a flow-chart you can use powerful State Machine technology to create your dream game! Whether you want to learn the basics of programming or bypass coding altogether, No-Code Video Game Development using Unity and Playmaker makes it as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. In Section 1 you'll master the fundamentals of Unity, the world's leading game engine.
2. In Section 2 you'll learn important concepts and how to use Playmaker to substitute flow-charts for code.
3. In Section 3 you'll create a modest yet complete FPS survival horror game!

The book's DLC comes with Unity Packages, Playmaker Templates, Character Models, Animations, Materials, and more.
