Will Goldstone

Hi everyone! my name is Will and I work for Unity Technologies, the good people that bring you the Unity game engine. I wound up working here as I used to be a university tutor, and I was really interested in videogames and how best to teach young people to make them. Back in the days of Macromedia Director we were teaching how to make shockwave games, and soon realised how painful this was for our students, so switched to using Unity in version 1.5, and my fascination with it as a tool for people who want to become game developers began there.

Since being asked to speak at the company's conference, Unite 2010, I was then interviewed for a position, working on education, developer relations, and other marketing related initiatives. These days I run the Online Content Team, working on the Learn section of the official Unity site, producing demos and working with our engineering team to bring you a better Unity.

I have written two books on Unity to date - Unity Game Development Essentials (2009) and the new edition, a major rewrite, Unity 3.x Game Development Essentials. I hope you enjoy reading them and if you need support, you can get it at unitybook.net. If you have any problems with Unity, feel free to get in touch via will at unity3d dot com.

Outside of Unity related stuff I enjoying playing guitar, bass and drums, and making loud Refused-esque noises.
