Overview of this book

In the wake of the indie game development scene, game development tools are no longer luxury items costing up to millions of dollars but are now affordable by smaller teams or even individual developers. Among these cutting-edge applications, Blender and Unity stand out from the crowd as a powerful combination that allows small-to-no budget indie developers or hobbyists alike to develop games that they have always dreamt of creating. Starting from the beginning, this book will cover designing the game concept, constructing the gameplay, creating the characters and environment, implementing game logic and basic artificial intelligence, and finally deploying the game for others to play. By sequentially working through the steps in each chapter, you will quickly master the skills required to develop your dream game from scratch.

For instance, the game title has not been set, the game icon is showing the Unity logo, and several other things are not to your liking. Don't worry! This is because the player settings have not been properly configured.

To open up the player settings window, you can either go to Edit | Project Settings | Player, or go to File | Build Settings and click on the Player Settings button.

Tip

Do note that the word player in this context does not mean the person who plays the game, but rather the system that runs the game and renders the graphics; in other words, the player application that is the build output.
