Getting started with Unity
Before you whip up that AAA game you’ve been dreaming of as an indie game dev, you should probably make a decision on which Game Engine you’re going to roll with. My choice is Unity — due to the tooling available, services and C# as the language.
To get started hop on over to Unity’s download page: https://unity.com/download
Unity allows for developers to work on different versions of their game engine and Unity Hub is how they facilitate this. With Unity Hub, you can select which of the Unity Editors you want to download and make projects in. The first step is to download Unity Hub for the OS you’re working on.
Once finished downloading and installing, Unity Hub will lead you through the next steps. For me, I downloaded two versions of the Unity Editor — the 2019 LTS and 2021 LTS.
My next article will be on making some tweaks to the layout of the Editor for a better workflow while developing so stay tuned!
