IEEE CIC x GMU Indie Game Jam: Player & Bullet

#Game #dev

This series of 5 beginner friendly workshops will teach students how to create their own indie game in Unity.

We will teach the building blocks and best practices to create a shooter including creating the player, creating enemies, collectibles, effects, and more!

All who attend all five sessions will get a certificate from IEEE WIE and can submit their 2D game into a showcase with small prizes at the end of the workshop series.
