Welcome to the final video of this course.
0:00
There's one small thing I'd to add
before we build the game out,
0:03
and that's background music.
0:06
Playing a silent game is pretty awkward,
so let's fix that.
0:08
Inside of this audio folder
that came with the downloadable files,
0:11
we have this audio track.
0:14
I got this from one of my favorite
websites for game assets, opengameart.org.
0:16
It has a CC0 license,
so it's completely free
0:22
to use and edit, and it was created
by a user named MintoDog.
0:24
So thank you, MintoDog. You're awesome!
0:28
I placed some links in the teacher's notes
to a few of my favorite sites
0:31
to get assets to play with.
0:34
Just be aware that not everything is free,
and not all free
0:36
assets can be used without giving
some kind of credit to the creator.
0:39
So always check the license type
before downloading assets
0:43
to save yourself
from any kind of backlash.
0:46
Unity also has an amazing asset store
with free
0:49
and paid assets that you can download
and import straight into your game.
0:52
You can find it by going to Window >
0:56
Asset Store, and it'll open up a new
tab in your default browser.
0:58
So just like when we dragged an image
into our hierarchy
1:02
and Unity knew exactly what to do with it,
the same goes for audio.
1:05
For adding sound effects
in specific moments of your game,
1:09
that'll of course take a little more work,
1:12
and that's outside
the scope of this course.
1:14
But for our background music,
1:16
we can simply drag this audio file
right into the hierarchy.
1:18
It creates a game object for us with an
audio source component already attached.
1:21
This is one of the tools used to work
audio into your games with Unity.
1:26
Let's rename it to Background Music.
1:31
To hear audio in your games,
you need an audio listener component
1:37
attached to something, and by default,
our main camera already has one.
1:40
This will essentially act
as if the speakers were right next
1:44
to the camera, front and center,
so we're all good to go.
1:47
You'll see this audio resource property
has a play on awake checked by default.
1:50
This is great for our case
because we want the music
1:55
to automatically start
when the scene starts.
1:57
Let's also check this loop
option to be enabled.
2:00
This will cause the music
to immediately start over once it finished.
2:03
The only other
2:07
option we need to worry about
is the volume. I'm going to turn mine
2:08
halfway down to 0.5 and test it out,
2:11
but feel free to adjust yours accordingly.
2:14
And just like that, we have background music.
2:22
Okay, before you build a game out,
2:32
it's very important to go through
all of your game objects and scenes,
2:33
if you have more than one,
to make sure everything is set up.
2:37
Once we start building, it's going
to take the game in the state it's in,
2:40
and it can take a while to build
2:44
depending on the size of the game
and your machine's capabilities.
2:45
The only thing we need to worry about
2:49
is our game over menu
being disabled initially.
2:50
There is nothing worse than building out
an entire game to realize
2:53
you forgot something like
this as soon as you play it afterwards.
2:57
Trust me.
3:00
So to avoid this issue,
let's add a line of code
3:01
to make sure this menu is always disabled
when the scene starts.
3:03
That way,
3:07
we don't need to worry about remembering
to disable it before we create our build.
3:08
Let's open up the GameManager script.
3:12
In here, we already
3:17
have a reference to this menu object
since we're enabling it below,
3:18
So all we have to do
is the opposite of what we did earlier.
3:22
In the Start function,
after we set our time back to 1,
3:25
let's write gameOverMenu.SetActive
3:29
and this time, we'll provide it false.
3:33
Cool, let's save this.
3:35
I'm going to keep this game over menu
3:39
enabled now and enter play mode.
3:41
Cool, it's not there.
3:47
we lost it appears and it's gone again
when we start.
3:50
Perfect!
3:53
Remember,
if you're working in the scene window
3:55
and this menu is getting in your way,
you can always toggle its visibility
3:57
with this eyeball icon in the hierarchy.
Alright we're looking good!
4:00
Let's learn how to build our game!
4:05
Let's make sure to save our project
4:09
and head to Edit >
Project Settings and click on Player.
4:10
This is where you can adjust more
of your settings for your project
4:16
once it's built,
the file name, icons, etc. I'm
4:19
not going to worry about too much here,
but just for fun, I'll change the icon.
4:23
Let's expand Icon
and check this Override button.
4:27
and let's just drop an image of Mike
4:31
in here.
4:33
The resolution isn't perfect, but oh well.
4:38
You would get an icon with a Unity logo
if you don't overwrite it here,
4:41
so you don't need to do this.
4:44
It just makes it a bit more fun
and personal.
4:46
Also, I need to point out,
my computer setup
4:49
is using a 1920x1080 monitor,
so when I build this out and play it,
4:52
it'll go full screen and look perfect,
as that's our canvas and camera sizes.
4:57
If you're using a larger monitor,
especially one of those ultra-wide
5:01
ones, or something
that's not a 16x9 aspect
5:05
ratio, you'll want to
make another adjustment here.
5:08
Open up this Resolution and Presentation
option and unselect this Default is Native
5:11
Resolution here, and ensure
that 1920x1080 are in these fields.
5:16
Awesome.
5:22
Now let's head to File, Build Profiles.
5:25
Your scene should be listed here still
unless you've removed it by accident.
5:28
If so, just click this Add Open
Scenes button and it should reappear.
5:32
Next, make sure that the operating system
5:37
that you're using is active,
which it should be by default.
5:39
I'm on Windows, so I'm good to go.
5:42
Now, don't follow me quite yet.
5:44
I wanted to show you
that it'll give you a warning
5:46
if you try to save it
directly to your desktop.
5:48
And in general, it's
better to save your builds outside
5:51
of your actual project folders.
5:54
So I'm going to create
5:58
a new folder named Builds
inside of my Unity Projects folder,
5:59
but feel free to place yours
to your liking.
6:03
I'll head back to the Build Profiles
window and I'm going to click
6:12
Build here and tell it
to save it to my new Builds folder.
6:15
This is going to take some time,
so you can pause me here and return
6:19
once yours is completed too.
6:22
Okay, I hope yours went successful.
6:27
If there were any errors,
you can do what I do and copy
6:29
and paste them into a Google search,
6:31
but with this small game,
you should have been just fine.
6:33
Here on my desktop, in the builds folder,
I've got our flying
6:37
Mike game with the icon. Awesome!
6:40
Let's test it out.
6:42
Here's our default Unity splash screen.
6:48
The game over
menu is disabled at the start.
6:53
We've got our music in the background.
6:56
The score is increasing.
6:58
There's the game over menu.
7:02
Restarting is working,
7:05
and we can actually test our quit button
now too.
7:07
Yep, that closes off the application
perfectly.
7:13
Way to go.
7:16
If your game is looking
wonky when playing it,
7:18
you may need to go and adjust
that native screen size option
7:20
I mentioned earlier
in the player settings.
7:23
If you've
7:27
stuck with me this far,
I congratulate you.
7:27
Whether it feels this way or not,
you're a game dev!
7:30
We had a game
plan, started from complete scratch,
7:33
created and built out a playable game.
7:36
You should be extremely proud of yourself.
7:39
Now we've barely scratched the surface
on all these topics in this course,
7:42
so if you enjoyed this
and would to see more, please let us know.
7:46
I know for a fact the next time you play
any of your favorite video games,
7:50
you'll be realizing
how much work went into creating them.
7:54
You'll probably also start playing games
and seeing things
7:58
that make you think, hey, I
wonder how I can get that into my game.
8:01
Anyways,
8:06
I hope you had as much fun with this as
I did, and I hope to hear your feedback.
8:07
Until next time, take care,
everyone, and happy gamedeving!
