This game tutorial series will teach you how to build a small vertical space shooter in top down perspective. The tutorials will focus on creating schematics and setting up machine components.

You can learn more about schematics in this how-to and about machines in this how-to. Setting up the level and prefabs isn’t explained (they’re provided ready to use in the project).

This game tutorial series is based on Unity’s space shooter tutorial. To learn more about setting up the level and prefabs, please see the original tutorial here.
