Why take this course?

In this course I will be showing you how to create a dungeon level using modular game objects such as walls, floors and doorways. Modular game objects are designed so that you can arrange them in any order you like, almost like Lego bricks. They simply snap together, making it very easy to create hundreds of unique layouts.

We will be covering snapping techniques to build unique dungeon designs very quickly and easily.

We will also be covering lightmaps and prop placements.

By the end of this course you will have developed the skills to create your own levels using modular game objects from any asset packs available on the Unity asset store.

Modular level design is a key skill when creating video games and it will improve your ability to quickly create impressive levels for your own games.

All of the assets used in this course are available to download for free from the Unity asset store.

You don't need any previous experience as I will be showing you how to create everything from a blank canvas through to completed design. This course does not contain any scripting or coding and is designed with beginner learners in mind, although the techniques can be useful for people who already use Unity for their projects.

This was a great beginner dive into setting up a modular dungeon and adding components. In addition, the adding of the lightmaps adds another level and brings it together.

Primarily Review for myself having more experience using Unreal Engine, but very concise information and is helping me rapidly adjust to using Unity as well.

Fantastic course. Pete did a great job of explaining everything he did and he worked at a moderate pace that wasn't too slow or too fast.

Was not exactly whats I was expecting. Its kind a Unity INterface Tutorial with Snap and vertex snapping. But, the result is good, so as long remaisn free, its a good course

Honestly, I'm amazed at the quality here for a free course. The instructor is very clean, and goes over each step, never leaving you behind. If I had one complaint, it's that I feel that sometimes he's feeling around for the correct solution for what he's trying to do, leaving us to wonder if it's the BEST solution, or just what he may have come up with on the fly. All that said, though, I learned a lot!

This is a great course if you want to quickly learn how to design levels modularly. Clocking in at just about over an hour and a half, you will know all the ins and outs you need to quickly design levels. The instructor is very easy to follow along with and even leaves you some room after some parts for you to practice the techniques. And trust me, once you know some of the key shortcuts to use, you'll be designing a full blown level on your own in no time! I definitely needed a course like this thats short and sweet but gets me going with a solid foundation to build off of and continue gaining momentum in my game development journey. 5 stars easy!

Nice to the point class. I purchased some art assets from Unity's asset store and this helps getting better results using them.

This was an excellent short overview/intro into assembling modular pieces to create a small dungeon environment. Very easy to follow and understand.
