Ratings and reviews

In this book you will create 3 main projects 1 - 2D shooter akin to geometry wars 2 - 2D platformer using 3D assets 3 - 3D first person horror game as well as also creating menu systems, saving and loading and a level editor. This book also contains a dedicated chapter specifically for the new UI that was introduced in the newest version of Unity (4.6) and is therefore one of the most up to date books currently available. I would highly recommend it
