Reviews for Unity 3.X Game Development Essentials

• This titleBook rating: 5

  Unity 3.x Game Development Essentials remains true to the style of the first version but with improved explanations on main topics and updated information about the features added to Unity since then.
  
  It is a good book for those who wish a step by step introduction to Unity, from prototyping to optimization. It uses both C# and Javascript, so you can follow the one you feel more comfortable with. Since Unit is really an environment and not a language, information about the user interface is helpful when you are new to it. The book use screenshots where it is important, without overusing it. An additional bonus goes to small tip boxes along the text, with helpful insights. Details like this make all the difference. by Rodrigo

• Excellent titleBook rating: 5

  With the Unity game engine getting more and more popular in both
  educational institutions and professional studios alike, it's no
  wonder that many books have been published discussing it in various
  degrees of detail.
  Will Goldstone's book is definitely one of the better organized titles
  on the scene today and successfully takes the reader from the first
  steps to a good level of proficiency.
  
  Personally, I appreciated the quick but clear explanations in the
  first chapter of basic 3D game development principles that so many
  other texts give for granted or simply don't bother to cover expecting
  the reader to automatically understand such concepts as they dig into
  the tutorials, with the risk of the latter being ultimately
  overwhelming and confusing.
  This doesn't happen here and the book progresses smoothly into
  scripting (illustrating both C# and Javascript), creating 3D
  environments (an island in this case) and characters, setting up their
  controller scripts and collision detection systems. GUI, Rigid body
  physics and Animation basics are all covered too, making this title
  one of the most comprehensive and useful Unity books on the market
  today.
  Highly recommended. by Robert
