Single not noticed mistake could cost thousands and thousands of dollars and lost players. On the other hand, another interesting bug could bring overwhelming popularity among the players and interest new gamers. This thesis work represents the full process of game development with the usage of one of the most famous game engines – Unity Game Engine. The thesis work illustrates Unity 3D game development.
