Course Overview
Explore how to make a complex atmospheric and interactive adventure game using the Unity 2D tool-set!
Learn how to make interactive 2D adventure games in Unity 5! In this comprehensive course, instructor Alan Thorn demonstrates a wide range of 2D features and tools for making a 2D platform adventure. Targeted to intermediate users, see how to create a player character, functional physics, interactive characters and dangerous obstacles. Explore subjects, such as: sprites, player controls, character animation, balancing gameplay, collisions detection, and a questing system. In addition, see how to import and configure 2D assets optimally for 2D functionality and how to design and build complete levels that ooze atmosphere. There’s plenty to see and do in this fun course, and by the end you’ll have established a solid foundation both in making 2D games generally and in working smart to create your own adventure games in no time!

The course is awesome, I'm giving 4,5 stars because is outdated, you need to make some search to full fill the gaps, nothing impossible. The instructor could make some updates.

While the course and its material are decent, it needs to be updated and questions in the Q&A section should be answered.

This was a good basic course. I wish he would have made each lecture a little longer and went into more detail about what each part of the code did. Also, I wish he showed everything he did. Some of the things he did off screen, which leaves the student guessing as to what took place. Overall, it's not bad. The instructor is a good speaker and explains the code in a way that the student can easily understand.

Course is depreciated so you will have to update code. A lot of code is pasted after doing off screen. But, he does give an overview explanation. But, if your looking for experience in coding and working with it. He does go through the mechanics of building it. Which is useful.
