Here are a couple of recent Unity examples by our students

Star Mabeland & Friends - https://www.therookies.co/entries/2131

This is a nice thing but it's drawing a lot of spam reports so perhaps speak a few words more to indicate you're not a bot

Are there any Unity specific elements the course, and are you a tutor or marketeer? More information would be nice (might be able to move the thread etc).

 

Hello Hippocoder

I am human

I am a lecturer on the course, Neil Gallagher, I have been running the BA & MA Games Art courses for about 10 years. I worked in the games industry for 10 years previously at Rare & Kuju and I did a little stint for a year in the VFX industry.

I did my Masters project in the Unity engine and its a great engine.

I apologies if I posted in the wrong thread, feel free to move it. I just thought it would be nice to share some of the Unity projects we have going on at the UH.

 

Yeah I think so too! I just needed you to have a bit of a chat so people passing didn't keep reporting it! silly lot. Anyway you must be very proud of the awesome students you have (please do keep posting).

Is Unity taught there as well or a means to an end? There's a lot of movement in Unity now with HDRP / Timeline / film stuff... (raytracing!)

 

The giant lists of random companies is what looks like spam, since that is often how search keywords are added to the end of spam posts.

 

UH Alumni Liviu Antoni is making this game, little plug for him.
