Об этом курсе: The device or "platform" that a game is developed for and played on has a massive impact on the game development process. In this hands-on course you will explore how to develop a game for a variety of modern platforms, including Web, Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android. While building a complete game, you will learn intermediate and advanced game development techniques in the Unity game engine. By the end of the course, you will understand how to develop, refine, package, and prepare your game for distribution on a variety of game platforms. Particular attention will be given to developing a 2D platformer game that supports multiple forms of input (keyboard/mouse, controller, and touch), works across multiple forms of output (screen size, screen resolution, sound), and performs well on a variety of computing devices.

Building Out the Game
Hi!
This week we will finish our example game, bringing in some visual polish and UI, adding a game manager, and making sure our game controls work across multiple platforms. We will continue to introduce additional design and programming concepts along the way. And, at the end of this week, you will start the process of modifying the game and transforming it into your own creation! How exciting!

Рейтинги и отзывы
Compared to the other courses in this specialization, I found this one to be more tedious and time consuming. Felt like it did not teach me as much as the other courses, but still was an immense learning experience!
In conjuction with the Introduction to Game Development course, a great course to get started with Unity3D
Great course! Very detailed walk-through for platform game developments.
