(Hard) By the end of the project, you will have a full-fledged 2D platformer with three levels. Also, you'll gain new skills in working with sounds in Unity, using Tilemaps, and developing game design. After completing the project, you can add more levels and new mechanics to it, making your game truly unique to perfectly fit into your portfolio.

About

Many well-known game developers started their careers by making rather simple 2D platformers. It is a good way to explore different (sometimes unique) mechanics and practice storytelling. In this project, you need to create a simple 2D platformer with different levels, items, enemies, and music.

Graduate project

This project covers the core topics of the Game Development with Unity course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.

At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.

What you'll learn

Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:

Create the first level in the game and set its environment.

Add the level end and player movement.

Animate your character to make the game livelier. Add gems to the level and animate them too.

Create a new level and add platforms for the player to climb up.

Create another level, set the environment, and add enemies to the platforms.

Create the main menu and set up the interaction between the scenes.

Add sound effects and the main theme to your game.

There is the use of, Tilemaps, Animations, and Audio management. The project requires you to learn new things to solve the tasks which ...

I have learned how to make my own 2D platformer game from start to finish. I learned about tilemaps, creating environments, creating enemy AI, sounds and a lot more.
