writing comprehension
The author likes technology very much, it can be said that he loves technology very much, so he chose the game industry that requires high technology. Since working in the industry, the author has been studying while working, constantly accumulating experience and knowledge in practice, and improving ability. In order to improve my core technology, I often study different types of mobile game projects in my spare time, which really benefits me a lot. Over time, the author has deeply realized the subtleties of various games. At the same time, there is always a common law between different types of games, and this discovery makes the author ecstatic.
In addition to joy, the author very much hopes to share the subtleties of various games and the common laws that exist between them with friends who also love technology. This is one of the origins of this book.
After researching the core technology of dozens of games, the author discovered another problem: when learning the technology of a game, there is always a lack of a book about game practice at hand - to be able to clarify according to the correct and specific route The context of a game, so as to practice a game in depth. The idea of wanting to own such books has always lingered in the bottom of my heart. For friends who want to study a game from scratch, their desire for such books must be as urgent as the author. This is the origin of this book two.
So the author came up with the idea of writing this book, studied the practical experience of dozens of games, and hoped to summarize them into a general practice law through this book, so that everyone can avoid detours and continue to grow in the process of practicing various games .
As an important way of mass entertainment, mobile games have gathered a large number of human resources in the industry. Developers using Unity account for about 42% of the mobile game development population, which fully illustrates the success of the game engine Unity. In order to become a professional Unity mobile game developer, many people will watch a lot of teaching videos, and even blindly enroll in various learning classes. They are eager to join the team of mobile game developers in various ways. The author hopes that the correct methodology provided in this book can help everyone learn the knowledge of mobile game development correctly, become a real mobile game developer, and feel the pulse of mobile game development personally!
"The road ahead is full of thorns, and the years are as quiet as before" is a sentence I like very much, and it is also the mentality that a mobile game developer should always maintain. From working on the Vega Prime military simulation project, to developing Unity mobile games at Linekong Games, to serving as the technical director of LeTV VR (virtual reality), the author has been in contact with almost all application forms based on Unity, such as VR, AR (augmented reality) ), games, and even the popular Metaverse.
The author started to contact Unity from his first job in 2013. By 2017, he was already the technical director of LeTV VR. It took the author just 4 years to complete a large cycle of technical work. Friends around me often say that the author is "open". In fact, learning is definitely not a one-off thing. During the four years of learning, from a zero-based "rookie" to a technical director of a large company, the author learned to learn slowly and practice learning. Practical learning is the learning method adopted and advocated in this book. As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect". As long as you practice a lot, I believe that everyone will be able to grow continuously and master any technology.
Since the beginning of work, the author has often taught courses related to Unity in major universities in Beijing, and also shared some learning experience in Zhihu. During this shared time, the author met many friends who love games, and also met many people who are interested in Unity development. Some friends often ask the author if there is a learning method that allows zero-based beginners to quickly master Unity, and some friends think that game development is a distant thing. It takes many years of experience to be proficient in Unity. The author has different feelings about mobile game development. The author believes that any technology can be quickly learned through practice, and mobile game development is no exception.
The starting point of this book and the pain points it solves
The author hopes that by explaining the practical process of a real game case, readers can make a real mobile game, and it is an open world mobile game that can only be handled by experienced game developers, so as to break everyone's mobile game development. fear of difficulty. The familiar game "Original God" is an open world mobile game. You can imagine that after practicing the content of this book, you will become an independent mobile game developer and be able to completely develop a game similar to "Original God". Isn't this a great thing for the open world mobile game of "God"?
Closer to home, game companies usually need a production team of dozens of people to develop an open world mobile game, and this phenomenon often gives beginners and even intermediate developers a wrong guide, making them think that open world mobile games It is difficult to develop, and even fear of learning. How many thresholds do you have to go through to become a senior game developer? When can a beginner become a main program (that is, the main technical development programmer)?
In fact, most programmers need three to five years of practical learning to become a main program before they have the opportunity to contact, develop, and build the core framework of a game. The important part, the core framework. Without the opportunity to undertake the development of the core framework of the game, how can it be possible to grow into a senior mobile game developer?
Usually, most of a programmer's career is spent on polishing ordinary functional modules, and there is not enough time to seriously polish his own hard-core capabilities. For example, if you first started working on the backpack system of the game, then in the production of several subsequent games, the company will let you be responsible for the backpack system, and your job is to make more common functional modules. Of course, part of the core main program is the technical backbone that the company focuses on training. Only this part of the main program has the opportunity to continuously polish its hard-core capabilities. This is the main reason why most programmers like to call themselves "brick movers". .
It is these difficulties that this book aims to answer and resolve. If readers and friends can earnestly follow this book step by step to complete the practice, then you will also have the same hard-core ability of game development as the core masters and even technical directors in game companies!
Speaking of this, everyone will feel that this is a book written for junior programmers, but it is definitely not the case. The author hopes that everyone related to mobile game production can gain something after reading this book, so this book uses real commercial projects as practical cases. Only real projects can establish a correct view of mobile game development for beginners, point out a way for intermediate developers to learn hard-core technology in depth, and expand the technical vision of senior game developers.
If you are not a programmer, but a game modeler, or a game planner, or a game producer, if you read this book carefully, you will walk into the world of a game developer. The world of technology, experience the real charm of technology. Even if you are just a pure game lover, if you calm down and read this book, you will have a brand-new perspective to correctly view games, the game industry and gamers, and can create a brand-new view of games.
