  • Unity installed on your system. You can download Unity Hub from the official Unity website.
  • Basic understanding of Unity interface and game development concepts.

Steps​

Step 1: Create a New Unity Project​

  • Open Unity Hub and create a new 3D project.
  • Set up your project with desired settings and save it.

Step 2: Create a Game based on tutorials​

There are plenty of tutorials on how to create games. You can look into sources like Unity tutorial, Youtube tutorial, and more.

Step 3: Build Settings​
