Welcome to GTGD S2 LEARN UNITY 2D, a brand new tutorial series relaunched for Unity 2021! In this series I'll be showing my approach to using the Unity 2D tilemap dynamically so that in game the player can place and remove tiles, and for the navmesh to update dynamically, and of course saving and loading that data to file and managing multiple save files. You will develop a day and night system and write AI that will respond to the time of day! What you learn in this series will be beneficial in many different projects especially for understanding how to save and load data to file and manage multiple save files.

Topics that will be covered:

1. Setting up a new 2D project, understanding the interface and switching to Universal rendering.
   
2. Setting up tilemaps and bringing in tilemap extras. Drawing simple pixel art (mostly because I'm no artist!).
   
3. Understand how to use the tilemap tools and create animated tilemap tiles.
   
4. Integrate Navmesh Plus and setup the player to use a navmesh.
   
5. Integrate Cinemachine so the camera follows the player without me having to write any code.
   
6. Understand sorting orders and how to effectively set it up without code.
   
7. Create a day night system and change the light colour of the world as time progresses.
   
8. Develop a construction system so you can place tiles and delete tiles.
   
9. Save and load all your game information. You'll use PlayerPrefs for simple data, and Json for writing and reading more complex data to file.
   
10. AI that responds to the time of day.
    
11. Universal render pipeline post processing.
