Unity the tool of the trade, download and set up

Now we can’t actually dive full-on into this program without actually talking about Unity itself, to be brief Unity is a 2D, 3D game and Interactive development software. Developers by utilizing Unity are able to create interactive experiences that allow users to accomplish several goals, that can range from a simple platforming game to online storefronts.

As been stated before, the primary software that I will be using throughout this entire 120 day Journey will be Unity. I personally see it as one of the more versatile engines that can be learned today, not due to its popularity but because of its variety of resources to help beginners learn its system.
