I suggest downloading Unity (which we have instructions below this intro) while you listen or read the introduction (since this will take time to download)

Hello folks, this is Kurt from September 25, 2025, here to show you the ropes in making a simple game in a very powerful engine Unity!

If you are looking to code outside of REPL or starting out your game developing hobby, you’ve come to the right place!

We chose Unity to study not because of an influence from a certain company, but we are here to show you that getting into game development is not as intimidating as you think

• Unity is a great start for managing 2D games, which makes non artistic people (like me) able to hope in development
• Once you get into the Unity groove, you can also branch out to 3d games as Unity is able to run those too. Although arguably Unity isnt the first choice in 3D development, throughout the years it has evolved its environment to cater the 3d game industry. Lots of 3D games made in Unity are mainstream too, so surely Unity is doing something right.
• Should you pick up Unity as a new hobby for game development, well congratulations, you can now put that in your resume and pursue a potential career. Unity Engine is also mainstream in a lot of gaming companies (the other engine being Unreal Engine), so why not hit two birds in one stone and get a job for the thing you like doing (crashing out at game development)
