Description Building a successful real-time strategy game
is challenging, because of both the complex mechanics and
the need to strike a balance between different elements,
ensuring that players enjoy creating and executing
strategies against the game's AI. Creating an RTS Game in
Unity 2023 will teach you how to install and set up the
Unity game engine, create a new 3D project, and build a
level editor to make it easier to modify and add maps to a
game. The RTS game will start to take shape while you
learn to implement different core systems such as melee
and ranged battles, unit spawners, camera controls,
dynamic mapping generation, basic enemy AI, and the
pathfinder algorithm. You'll also get to grips with
implementing command units to perform actions, crafting
and producing resources, basic physics and collision
detection, and building an RTS game from scratch using C#
and the latest features of the Unity game engine. By the
end of this book, you'll be able to make professional and
high-quality end-to-end RTS games using the best practices
and techniques from the gaming industry. What you will
learn Incorporate the most used design patterns,
algorithms, and techniques into your game Employ the best
coding practices used in the games industry Explore the
basics of AI and physics to create high-quality games
Build dynamic and configurable maps to enhance the player
experience Solve complex problems using the industry
standards for Unity and C# Create the mechanics present in
classic RTS games using a modern approach Gain a deep
understanding of how to create professional games using
Unity Who this book is for If you are a beginner game
developer who wants to learn the skills to develop a
professional RTS game, a programmer looking at career
options in the industry who needs to develop a portfolio,
or even an indie game developer seeking inspiration for
your own games, this book is for you. Professional game
developers, programmers with experience in C#, as well as
game designers and artists looking for a practical guide
to bring their game ideas to life will also find plenty of
useful information in this book.
