Good knowledge of the Unity editor, and how to use it's main features.
Good knowledge of C# scripting and the fundamentals of object oriented programming.
Knowledge and understanding of some of the main Unity API classes and C# system classes.
The willingness to look up anything you are not familiar with in the Unity scripting manual or C# resources online.
Install the free Unity 3D game engine software and Visual Studio Community Edition.
Install the free SourceTree git client to help follow along with the provided completed Unity project and the branches that correspond to completed lectures.

Description
Have you ever wanted to create your own Farming RPG? Games like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon have been incredibly successful, and you too can develop your own game with the help of this course. We'll explain how to develop many of the core systems and game functionality. We'll start with a blank project and then develop the game lecture by lecture, covering all the code and Unity configuration you will need. This course is massive with over 40 hours of lecture videos, 98 lectures, a starter assets pack, and a complete Unity project that you can download to follow along. We even provide another Unity project to demonstrate AStar pathfinding! So while it took the creator of Stardew Valley over 4 years to create his game, you can get a head start by using this course, potentially saving many months or even years of development time !

Who this course is for
Intermediate Unity Developers who want to extend their skills and knowledge using a full project based course.
Existing Unity developers who are fans of Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon and want to build their own Farming RPG.
A Unity developer who has previously built some prototypes or games and wants a challenging project course to level up their skills.
