Level Up Unity Game Dev

Wildeax•podcasters.spotify.com

This podcast is a hobby project created with NotebookML as I explore and learn about various Unity game development topics. Each episode is essentially a set of published notes covering subjects I'm interested in—whether it's understanding the fundamentals of the Unity engine, navigating its interface, or experimenting with shaders and captivating visuals inspired by professional resources. I'm sharing these insights publicly as a podcast in case they might be helpful to anyone else out there. (Voices in this podcast are AI-generated.)
