FINISHING UP - How to make a Video Game in Unity (E10) Video Lecture | Build a Game: Unity Tutorial (English) - Game Development

look who's turning in so here is the
last video in the how to make a video
game series today we're going to be
finishing our game by creating a credit
screen a Welcome menu and making
everything ready for the export phase
let's get started
so the first thing I want to do is to
lead our level 2 that we created in a
previous video and the reason for this
is that we need to optimize the way that
we create levels I see a lot of
beginners simply duplicating their first
level making a few changes and then
repeating that process until they have
enough levels and then of course makes
sense and it's also what we're going to
be doing but unless you think a bit
about optimizing the process it makes it
very difficult to go back and change
settings so if we wanted to change some
settings on the player we would have to
do that on all the levels that is one of
the reasons why we use prefabs so we can
just take our player along with our game
manager drag it down here our main
camera our endpoint and our canvas and
turn all of that into a prefab and I
think these are all of the objects that
we are realistically going to be
changing but you could go nuts and
change all the objects to prefabs this
way we can easily update something and
it will change on all of the levels now
this is a bit of a hacky approach it's
going to work fine for beginner games
and that's also why we're going to be
doing it here if you are creating a
larger game you would either a make some
kind of editor tool that makes it easier
for you to create levels or be have all
of your level data in a separate scene
that you then load on top of your main
scene if you want to learn more about
that stuff I'll have some links in the
description for now we can just go ahead
and create a folder for all of our
prefabs here let's select the canvas and
game manager main camera obstacle and
player and drag those in there and now
we can save the scene and duplicate it
as many times as we want I'm just going
to duplicate it a few times here and you
should of course go nuts now and create
a bunch of interesting levels I'm just
going to take the first one here and I'm
going to remove some of the obstacles
actually I'm going to remove all of
these I'm going to take these two and
move them forward a bit and space them
out so this is going to be a really easy
start level let's say that go into the
second one and here I'm just going to
remove about every second obstacle just
to also make this a lot easier let's
save that and then level three is going
to be off full level now these are all
really short but they're just for test
purposes now we can go ahead and create
a separate thing that is going to act as
our end screen this theme will be loaded
when we complete the last level in our
case level 3 let's go file new scene or
press control and let's create some UI
so let's go and right click go you
I knit select panel again the panel is
just an image that fills our entire
screen let's switch to 2d mode and hit F
to focus on it let's remove the source
image so we just get a blank color and
let's make this non transparent it's
also making a big grey we're going to
call this panel credits and on top we'll
create a UI element text again that's it
f to focus on it and that makes it more
room for this one I'm holding down alt
to scale from the center it's also
centered on the x and y let's change the
text to something like thanks for
playing and let's make the font size
something around 50 I'm going to widen
it a bit it's also going to define and
change it to Roboto thin you can see now
that if we maximize our game by hitting
shift space oh it takes place the same
size to change this we go to the canvas
and change the UI scale mode to scale
with screen size and drag it all the way
to fit the height so now it scales up we
can then take our text object and move
it up let's rename it to something like
thanks
and then duplicate it by hitting ctrl D
shift drag it down towards the center
let's change the text to made by let's
change the font size to something like
20 and change the font to Roboto medium
again we can duplicate this move it down
and you can just write your name I'm
just going to write brackets
change the font size to 50 again and
define back to Roboto thin I think that
looks pretty good let's also take these
two text elements and move them up a bit
and let's rename the first one to made
by and the second one to practice
finally we can create a button that will
allow us to exit the game so I'm going
to right click on the credits go UI and
then button let's move this down a lot
in the center let's scale it up I don't
want it to be too big and then I'm going
to show you some pretty cool button
styling that I like to do I like to take
the source image and select none' again
so we get a flat colleague I like to
leave this ad completely white then I'm
going to add a new component and the
component we want to add a shadow now
this allows us to cast a hard shadow
onto the background I'm going to select
0 on the X and negative 2 on the Y and
then going to decrease the opacity this
gives it kind of a cold simplistic
modern look I'm also going to make the
button even smaller then we can change
the text of the button let's change the
text to quit the font to Roboto
regular and the font size to something
around 20 we can maybe also make the
color a bit lighter I think
better so when you're satisfied with
this all we need to do is hook up the
button to some kind of script let's go
to our credits and add one we can just
go ahead and call it credits and let's
open it up in Visual Studio now whenever
we want to trigger some code using a
button we need to make sure that the
function we create is marked as public
normally when we make a function we just
write void then the name of the function
in our case this would be something like
quit and then some curly brackets but
you can see that if we save this and go
back into unity and then go and select
our button we add an on click event this
means that whenever our button is
clicked it's going to notify what every
object we put in here and we're going to
put the credits object because that's
where our script is sitting and that's
the function we want to call we're going
to go on your credits and then here you
can see that there's no quick method so
instead we go into visual studio and we
mark it as public now when we save we
should see that when we try and search
for a function
it appears let's select that and now
every time we click this button it's
quit button everything inside of these
two curly brackets will happen and we
only want something very simple we want
to create the application so we go
application dot quit and we're not going
to be able to see this happening because
unity won't actually quit the game when
it's inside of unity only when you
export it will it actually close down
the window so we'll just throw a debug
deadlock statement asphault let's say
something like quit now if we play the
game hover over and click our button you
can see that the message quit appears in
the console and it will do this every
time we click that button of course when
we export the game we'll only be able to
click it once awesome now if you want
you can really easily take the scene and
make it into menu to do that we save it
and this one is going to be called
credits we then duplicate the credits
scene and let's rename this to something
like menu or welcome screen let's double
click that and nothing changes but we
are now indeed viewing the menu scene we
can then change around some of these
settings up here we can say welcome to
and then remove brackets here and change
the made by to some name for the game
it's really popular to use some kind of
twist on the void cube cube tastic oh
that's cute I'm just going to go with
cubes on yeahit's marathon and cube
combined it's not good but it's the best
I've got right now let's bump up the
font size and maybe also change the
color to kind of red just to keep things
interesting
let's drag down the welcome to a little
bit let's drag up the button and we want
to change some names
so credits will be renamed to welcome
things will be renamed to welcome to
made by will be renamed to cubed on and
the text of our button will be changed
to start let's take all these objects
and move them down a little bit let's
also go to a welcome object before it
was called credits and remove the
credits script let's instead add another
script called menu and in here of course
we just want to create a single function
that will start the game let's open it
clean up and let's create again a public
void and we can't call it start because
that's a function already created by
unity let's call it start game then we
want to load the next scene so we'll be
using unity engine dot scene management
like we've done before and we want to
write scene manager dot load scene and
the scene we want to load is the next
scene so we want to get the current
scene are going scene manager get active
scene then dot build index and then +1
if you're confused about what this does
check out the last video let's save this
going to unity now let's select our
button you can see that the on click
event is currently missing an object so
let's drag in the welcome object let's
go in the function and select menu start
game now the last thing we need to do in
order to string all this together let's
go to file build settings and add all of
our scenes into the build let's start by
adding the menu and we want this to be
on top because we want this to be the
first scene that we see within the old
level 1 level 2 then level 3 and finally
the credits I'm also just going to take
the two scripts here and drag them under
the scripts folder and that should
actually be it our game should be fully
playable with the menu screen credits
and several levels and if we're able to
run this now we're actually ready for
the export phase so let's hit play it's
going to say welcome to cubes on let's
select start to start the game you can
see I'm in here on the first level that
is really easy it's going to say level
complete go to the next level that is
just a tiny bit harder again level
complete and here comes the third level
and of course you can make these levels
as challenging as you want and finally
because we completed all the levels it's
going to say thanks for playing and some
credits and then we have the button
quick here when we click that it's going
to say quit and if this was an actual
application it would
down so that's pretty much it for this
video and this series you made it all
the way through congratulations on that
and congratulations on making your first
step as a game developer I decided to
keep this video series pretty short so
that most people would be able to
complete it but I definitely want to
make more beginner-friendly videos the
new videos will just be on standard on
subjects I'm going to begin by making a
video on exporting your game to
different platforms and we're going to
use this as an example project so
definitely subscribe and stay tuned for
more so without further adieu thanks for
watching and I will see you in the next
video thanks of the awesome patreon
supporters who donated in March and a
