2D games are everywhere, from mobile devices and websites to game consoles and PCs. Timeless and popular, 2D games represent a substantial segment of the games market.

In Learn Unity for 2D Game Development, targeted at both game development newcomers and established developers, experienced game developer Alan Thorn shows you how to use the powerful Unity engine to create fun and imaginative 2D games.

Written in clear and accessible language, Learn Unity for 2D Game Development will show you how to set up a step-by-step 2D workflow in Unity, how to build and import textures, how to configure and work with cameras, how to establish pixel-perfect ratios, and all of this so you can put that infrastructure to work in a real, playable game. Then the final chapters show you how to put what you've already made to work in creating a card-matching game, plus you'll learn how to optimize your game for mobile devices.

Waste of money

The worst screenshots I have ever seen in a book, full of black squares, poor quality, difficult to read font.

Not a bad book, just already outdated and obsolete.

Reviewed in the United States on 30 January 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is mostly about all the workarounds and hacks that were necessary in order to write a 2D game in Unity3d , given the fact that Unity3d was mostly designed for, well, 3D development. Please note that as of November 2013 (yes, a mere month after this book was released), Unity3d now has a native 2d mode that you can enable on the very first moment you create your project. Other than for a few basic concepts, there wasn't much in this book that applied to Unity 4.3 and above. Don't pick this book up if this is what you will be working with.
