Game Development for Modern Platforms

Game Design and Development,

The device or "platform" that a game is developed for and played on has a massive impact on the game development process. In this hands-on course you will explore how to develop a game for a variety of modern platforms, including Web, Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android. While building a complete game, you will learn intermediate and advanced game development techniques in the Unity game engine. By the end of the course, you will understand how to develop, refine, package, and prepare your game for distribution on a variety of game platforms. Particular attention will be given to developing a 2D platformer game that supports multiple forms of input (keyboard/mouse, controller, and touch), works across multiple forms of output (screen size, screen resolution, sound), and performs well on a variety of computing devices.

Very nice Excellent course.

Gave very nice overview of all the building blocks to create a 2d platformer.

Very Nice Course.

Very nice course, I learned a lot about Unity throughout this course and some key aspects you need to know to make a game!

Very nice practical course, if you want to master Unity3D to build 2D game Coursera-way and not use official documentation.

game design

Outstanding course for anyone interested in game design.

Like the first course of the Game Design and Development specialization.

Then, after we complete the assignment, show us the correct result, so that we also practice scripting, and do the rest of the course with the right script.Also, I think it would be good to add a small course related to the artist's work, just as there is for the designer (Principles of Game Design) and the programmer (this course), but that's outside of the scope of this review.

other courses

Great course for game developers in telling many details, maybe should go deep into each aspect, but I can understand the length limit for each lectures Excellent course that covers even advanced topics Compared to the other courses in this specialization, I found this one to be more tedious and time consuming.

Felt like it did not teach me as much as the other courses, but still was an immense learning experience!
