About This Course

Learn the power of PlayMaker and Visual Programming to create entire feature-filled games in Unity3d.

Important! To following along with this course you must own playMaker. It can be purchased on the Unity Asset Store! 


This course is for anyone who wishes to build an Idle Business Tycoon Simulation Game in Unity3D using a visual development tool called PlayMaker.  With PlayMaker, you can make entire games without writing a single line of code. In fact, in this course we build and entire working prototype of an Idle Business Tycoon Simulation game using only visual diagrams.

Learn the power of visual programming:

  • Perfect for making your very first video game ever! Requires Unity3D (Free to download) & playMaker

  • Start from the very beginning and follow step-by-step. The course is designed for complete beginners

  • This course is fast paced and focused on building your game. Although this is for beginners these are not boring lectures with fillers. Each lecture you will be learning to design games and building on your game

  • Learn to build a complete game in Unity 3D with no C# programming required for the core game.

  • Focus on incremental development skills will help you create you own games

  • You will have a basic game up and running within the first few lectures

  • Create an animated progress bar that shows the progress of your store's sales timer

  • After you have mastered the basics, we expand our game design to support multiple stores and manager upgrades. Become a PlayMaker Pro and solve increasingly more complex problems.

  • Clear, easy to understand lectures that are paced to make it fun and easy to learn Unity3d & PlayMaker

  • Created by OdooClass Videos... creator of Idle Business Simulation for C# enjoyed by over 1,000 students

  • Includes advanced lectures for students who wish to incorporate their own C# actions into PlayMaker

  • Great starting off point for those who wish to get into game development or expand their range of skills

Why would an experienced C# or Javascript programmer be interested in PlayMaker?

There are several reasons why even experienced programmers may wish to experiment with PlayMaker.

  • Building games in PlayMaker vs C# allows you to look at game development from a different perspective.

  • As a developer myself who has written code in dozens of languages, it is often refreshing to build games in a visual tool like PlayMaker.  A break from coding and still making games can be fun.

  • How you approach the design and how you build up your game has unique solutions and challenges you will not face  when writing typical C# games.

  • It is relatively easy for an experienced C# developer to write actions that work with PlayMaker. This allows you to use PlayMaker as a state machine and for managing high level functions of your game design while using C# for more complex calculations and algorithms that can be tedious to code using a visual tool.

  • Students who complete this course will learn how to create games using Unity3D & PlayMaker

  • How to break down problems into finite state machines and develop visual solutions

  • Understand the advantages and disadvantages of using a visual programming solution

Exactly what I was looking for. The course is a few years old, but I was able to follow along just fine. Please continue making playmaker tutorials. There's not a lot out there and this was amazingly helpful.

This was really an amazing course. I have been in the games industry for a while but have not made a game personally. Was always in a production capacity. Hoping to see more stuff like this.

Great course, I hope you make more 2d tutorials! A First Person Dungeon Crawler would be great!

it does not provide any extra benefit over the free tutorials available in the official playmaker youtube channel

the course clearly was not updated in a long time as well, it is based on an older version of playmaker which i guess is OK because most of it is the same but still...

A waste of time and money, the limitations of float will make you cry after trying to make a fully functional idle game. There is no easy way to double or bigdouble with Playmaker, and you can find free tutorials on YouTube to get to the big numbers.

Very easy to follow. I am fairly new to Unity and completely new to Playmaker. I also have NO coding or developer knowledge, but i was able to follow along and figure out things that have changed on Unity since this tutorial was made.
I was hoping for a little more in terms of design and a few other functionalities, but you get enough to at least experiment on your own when done.

It's really good lecture for beginners about the Playmaker and Unity. I hope this course adds more lectures for various actions of the Playmaker. Playmaker has a lot of actions for state, but the course only uses a few actions.
Thanks. This is a really useful for me to understand game development with Playmaker.
