Ben and Mike don't just explain how to use Unity, they explain how to use it properly so you won't get stuck later. Every Unity developer should carry this around in their back pocket." -Efraim Meulenberg, Co-Founder, TornadoTwins "Unity's fun to play with and fun to learn. It's become extremely popular as a platform for game studios ranging in size from one to one hundred people. Game engines are only as good as the games they enable; as a developer you need to ship games. That's where this book will help you. I especially enjoyed the starter 2D and 3D games developed in this book. They gather the material learned in previous chapters and show you how the parts fit together into a working whole. Reading this book will inspire you to create your own experiences and share them with the world." -Jeff Somers, Developer on Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Phase and Dance Central "This book will make all of your dreams come true, provided your dreams exclusively revolve around game development in Unity. Plus, I'm British, so it must be true." -Will Goldstone, Unity Technologies "Sams Teach Yourself Unity Game Development in 24 Hours, 2/e is a comprehensive primer for learning Unity3D akin to eating dessert first-you get to the fun quickly!" -Elliott Mitchell, Co-founder, Vermont Digital Arts/Boston Unity Group
