Friday gamedev: good videos on how to make games

Hi, Habr!

Today's release of the Friday selection of cool technology videos more than ever will have to those who love to make games, know how to make games and make games. Even taking into account the fact that these sets do not always intersect, we will try to make it interesting for everyone.

And we begin today with a video on how to create a playable 2D character in Unity 5 - if you have not tried to do this, then now is the time. Important points about physics, colliders, sprites and character movement around the scene.



We recommend, by the way, to see this course entirely here .



Next to the Russian-language manuals in our Friday hodgepodge will be the show of the same name from the guys from overseas Microsoft - GameDev Show. From this video you can learn how to quickly create 2D and 3D animations for your games based on your own face.



It is always very interesting to listen to the developers' comments about their own games, and this is the same process, but against the background of the gameplay from these games, it becomes many times more interesting. That is why the next video was here - Microsoft evangelist Dave Voyles is talking to one of the developers of the game “Die Hard”, released on Sega Saturn 20 years ago!

There is a lot of time passed, but it is even more pleasant to recall the affairs of bygone days.



Video on how to publish a game you just made in Azure using a DreamSpark subscription. In principle, this description is enough - and you can watch.



A little more Game Dev Show. This time the series is about what UWP is, why it’s good and useful for developers of all levels - from FlappyBird clones to Quantum Break and Rise of Tomb Rider. Amanda Lange talks about universal applications and the range of platforms on which these applications can be run. Strongly recommend!



That's all for today! Have a good weekend, Habr, and remember: if you want to play good games, write them yourself.
