Make a Flatgame in Unity
Led by Lee Tusman
April 19, 2020
What is a flatgame? It's a 2d game where you very simply can explore a space or tell a story. Flatgames usually feature hand drawn elements. It's a simple way to tell a story like a mini-autobiography or a dream for example.
In this workshop I'll walk you through the process of creating a flatgame in Unity. No prior experience with Unity or coding is needed. We'll do this one mostly code- free. Even if you've never made a game before, you can do this! I recommend downloading Unity prior to the workshop. Join in on the stream, ask questions, and offer your own suggestions.
This workshop is taught by Lee Tusman. Lee is a new media artist and curator interested in the application of the radical ethos of collectives and DIY culture to the creation of, aesthetics, and open-source distribution methods of digital culture. His artistic output includes interactive media, video art, net art, experimental videogames, sound art, websites, twitter bots and micro-power radio stations. Lee teaches in New Media and Math/Computer Science at Purchase College.
