Welcome to Mobile RTS Game in Unity 2D - From Scratch to App Store! This comprehensive course guides you through the entire process of creating, testing, and publishing a real-time strategy (RTS) game for mobile using Unity 2D. Starting from scratch, we’ll build a complete game packed with practical features and polish it for release on both iOS and Android platforms.

What You'll Learn:

• Setting Up Your Game Environment: Start by downloading free assets to create an immersive game world using tilemaps, animated tiles, and custom character designs.

• Character Creation and Animation: Bring your game to life by animating unique units such as builders and warriors, each with their own actions and abilities.

• Core Game Management: Build a centralized Game Manager to control essential gameplay functions, including unit selection, movement, and resource management.

• Interactive Action Bar: Design a dynamic Action Bar UI where units have unique actions like building structures (for builders) or choosing defensive/aggressive stances (for warriors).

• Building and Placement Mechanics: Develop a placement and building system with visual feedback for available spots. The builder unit will gather resources like wood and gold to construct towers, keeps, and train units.

• Resource Collection and Economy: Design a resource system where builders can mine gold and chop wood, keeping your economy flowing as you defend against waves of enemies.

• Pathfinding with A* Algorithm: Implement your own A* pathfinding to enable smooth, obstacle-free navigation across the map.

• Enemy Waves and Combat System: Develop enemy types like goblins and demolishers, and create a spawn manager for enemy waves, making each battle more challenging.

• Audio and Visual Effects: Build an Audio Manager to add immersive sound effects, including footsteps, attacks, and resource gathering. Use floating text to display damage, resource gains, and attack announcements.

• Announcements and Events: Implement custom announcements to alert players to incoming waves or critical events in the game.

• Victory and Defeat Conditions: Define game-winning and losing scenarios, challenging players to defend their King unit against all enemy waves.

• Cross-Platform Building and Testing: Learn how to build and test your game on both iOS and Android devices to ensure smooth performance and a great player experience.

• Publishing on the App Store and Google Play: We’ll cover all the steps needed to publish your game, including filling in required information, setting up a store page, creating preview videos, and adding a terms and policy page.

This course is highly practical and code-focused. Each feature is built from scratch—no third-party libraries—using only free, open-licensed assets. It’s designed for all skill levels, from beginners eager to learn Unity to experienced developers aiming to master mobile RTS game development.
