Abstract

Endless runner games are among the most engaging and dynamic genres in game development. In this course, you'll learn how to create a fully functional 3D endless runner using Unity. Starting with player animation, you'll bring your character to life with smooth movements and spell-casting mechanics. You'll then construct an endless world using procedural platform generation, ensuring the game environment dynamically evolves as the player progresses. Next, you'll introduce essential gameplay mechanics such as scrolling environments, spawning obstacles, and adding interactive elements like collectible coins and power-ups. You'll tackle common development challenges like physics interactions, platform pooling, and seamless level transitions to create a fluid and immersive gaming experience. The course also covers UI implementation, including menus, popups, and scoring systems, along with adding audio effects, and dynamic animations to enhance player engagement. By the end of the course, you'll have a polished and fully playable endless runner, complete with animated characters, challenging obstacles, and a rewarding progression system. Whether you're an aspiring game developer or looking to expand your Unity expertise, this course will equip you with the skills to build, optimize, and publish your own 3D endless runner game.
