For the First Time in Bulgaria - Presentation on Unity Game Engine with Brian Lagunas and Infragistics

For the first time in Sofia an event dedicated only  to Unity Game Engine ( Creating Cross Platform Games with Unity ) will be held on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, 7:00 PM. This presentation is supported from Infragistics Inc, Microsoft Bulgaria and Infragistics Friends User Group (BI & .Net Geeks). Initially the event is arranged to be held at Microsoft Bulgaria office, but because of the  great interest from developers in Bulgaria we considering to move the event in a larger space outside of Microsoft Bulgaria venue.

 

There are over 120 people registered for the event now next wishing to register need to add themselves in a waiting list here before they will receive tickets. The number of the tickets depends of the venue space.

 

What is Unity Game Engine?

Unity is a cross-platform game creation system developed by Unity Technologies, including a game engine and integrated development environment (IDE). It is used to develop video games for web sites, desktop platforms, consoles, and mobile devices.

With an emphasis on portability, the graphics engine targets the following APIs: Direct3D on Windows and Xbox 360; OpenGL on Mac, Windows, and Linux; OpenGL ES on Android and iOS; and proprietary APIs on video game consoles.

If you're looking for fun and exciting apps to start writing, you should consider games. Not a game developer? No problem! In this session I'll cover all the basics of using the Unity game engine, along with your current C# or JavaScript skills, to get started writing cross-platform games. We'll look at how to navigate the Unity IDE, as well as how to create scenes, add objects to scenes, and add animations to game characters. Join me for this fun and interactive session where your cross-platform games are limited only by your imagination.

 

For now the event venue is Microsoft Bulgaria office (below) :

 

  

Obviously one of the reasons for the great interest is the name of the speaker - Brian Lagunas .
