Unity 5.x Cookbook

Another great Unity book with good tutorials and projects and sample code. Learning a lot and it's a nice way to learn while not looking at a screen (youtube).

In concept it's a good book, but the execution is not good, many places where the instructions just leave you hanging and confused as to what to do next and some of the example code does not work. Author assumes the reader can read his mind at times, refers to things that are not clear in the complicated Unity interface. Somewhat informative, but looks like the author either got bored or in a hurry. Thought this book would be more useful.

A god send. Very detailed cookbook. Still learning C# and this is helping immensely.

Author is impressive, great product.

Great tricks.

Helpful Info..

This book is awesome, Unity 5 is awesome and you can build great things fast and easy, could be games in a big variety of platforms, learning tools, animations, training simulators and your imagination is your limit, but sometimes you need to spend much time searching for the specific solution for your game, this book is like a tool, cookbook model is for everyone but if you already know how to use unity, then this book can boost your development capabilities, they have made an excellent job searching the most common game needs and made it in a structured way that your job will be complete in a short time. If you don't know how to use unity, I think that you will not have difficult to follow the recipes and do what you want, but if you need more basic stuff, the official tutorials are very descriptive and in a short time you will find that you need more so this book is what you will need.They know how to teach and they wrote explaining how to do and why, so the examples makes you understand the concepts and apply the fundamentals to achieve the results required in your project. They covered a big variety of UI features, inventory GUIs, 2D and 3D animations, many actually successful project are in 2D, they show both skeleton animations and sprite sheets, using physics, maps, materials, cameras, lights have a lot of new techniques in unity, you will find great effects, lightmaps and reflection, navigation, sounds and they show how to use extra features in your game. They know what you need for your game, but they also show how to improve your workflow, showing how to use better your editor and great extensions.I am using this book almost every day, is like a tool, I search here before and normally I find what I need, or I find where to find, because they provide good references, if you are a beginner or expert unity developer, this book can help a lot, I could totally recommend!

I’ve read from a few books on developing games and the Unity 5.x Cookbook does great with explaining the basics on developing a game. Some books cover a lot of information on coding but don’t explain the necessity behind everything. This cookbook is sure to guide you while making you know the reason for each part along the way.

Contents are great, really useful. The layout of the table of contents when viewed on an iPad's kindle reader makes it really hard to work out the sections and chapters. Not sure if that's the book layout or a feature of the iPad. That aside the rest of the book is superb

sehr gut geschrieben, mit den wichtigsten Infos zu Unity. Die Beschreibung hat nicht zu viel versprochen. Schade nur, dass es auf englisch ist.

Complete guide of unity. Fast delivery.

Very helpful in game making!
