Ready to build 2D & 3D games in Unity with no coding? Welcome to the wonderful world of Visual Scripting!

If you feel intimidated by coding, or don’t know where to start with game development, this is the course for you!

You’ll make 2D & 3D games from scratch, without writing a single line of code using Unity’s built in visual scripting tool, a visual alternative to C#. Create graphs, using drag-and-drop nodes to visualise and implement game logic.

Learn the fundamentals of game development, while learning to navigate the Unity interface, to build a solid foundation for future projects .

You’ll learn all about Basic Player Movement and Game Physics, as well as Asset and Graph Management, Player Input and UI. And we’ll take you through Game Design.

This course is beginner friendly, no previous Unity or coding experience is needed. It’s perfect if you want to break into Unity game development but are intimidated by coding, or you want to explore an alternate way of scripting games in Unity.

It’s also ideal if you prefer a more visual way of representing game logic, or you’re looking for a broad introduction to the fundamentals of 2D and 3D game development using the Unity engine.

You’ll get full lifetime access for a single one-off fee. The creators are qualified and experienced coders, so are able to explain complex concepts clearly, as well as entertain along the way.

Benefit from our world-class support from both other students, and the instructors who are on the forums regularly.

You’ll gain access to a course forum where you can discuss topics on a course-wide basis, or down to the individual video. Get plugged into our communities of amazing developers on Facebook (nearly 20k), in our own TA-curated Community (17k views/day), and our student chat group (10k live at any one time).

So dive in now and create games in Unity with no programming!

Hi! I’m Taryn. It’s a pleasure to meet you.


I started learning game development with GameDev.tv in 2020 and haven’t looked back! 


Before learning Unity and C# I studied Early Modern History as a doctoral student and I was a freelance writer. I’d always dreamed of learning how to code, but I never thought it was in the cards for me since I didn’t have a formal background in STEM. I occasionally dabbled in HTML and CSS but never pursued coding seriously until I happened to stumble upon the Complete Unity 2D Developer course from GameDev.tv in 2020. That course was my first introduction to Unity and it started me on a whole new career path as a developer.


I’ve always loved teaching and was a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate Humanities students for many years. As a GameDev.tv instructor, I enjoy seeing students achieve what they thought was too difficult or even impossible for them in the past.
