TL;DR: If you can’t find any game that seems worth playing, make your own. Enroll in the Make a Portals Clone in Unity 3D and Blender From Scratch course for $25, an 87% savings as of May 13.

Once you’ve exhausted all of the usual self solation activities — cleaning, sleeping, binge-watching Netflix, exercising, crying, ect. — it may be time to try your hand at something new and exciting. Perhaps something like building your own video game from scratch will cure your boredom. Or, at the very least, it’ll distract you from the news for awhile.

This Make a Portals Clone in Unity 3D and Blender From Scratch course delivers over 10 hours and 83 lectures that’ll teach you the fundamentals of designing, coding, and modeling a 3D game of your very own. You’ll code and create the art for the game from scratch using Unity and Blender and you’ll actually be able to test your new skills by playing said game when you’re done.

Before getting down to the nitty-gritty, you’ll work through foundational lessons in navigating the Unity and Blender interfaces. So, even if you’re a beginner, the idea is that you’ll hopefully feel comfortable with the creation process. You’ll also learn to code in C#, build 3D models in Blender, UV map and unwrap models, build video game levels, learn the basics of animation, and integrate the art you made in Blender into Unity to ultimately launch your 3D first-person shooter game.

Ready to venture into the world of game creation? It’ll only cost you $25 for this course (regularly $200), so there’s no better time than the present.
