안녕하세요, 이재현입니다.

1인 게임 개발자를 꿈꾸며 유니티를 독학으로 시작했고, 2009년부터 2012년 까지 1인 개발로 모바일 게임 10여종을 출시했습니다. 개발 도중 우연한 기회에 유니티 서적 집필과 오프라인 강의를 진행했습니다. 강의를 진행하면서, 잘 아는 것과 잘 가르치는 것은 다르다는 사실을 매번 깨닫고 있습니다. 이러한 경험을 바탕으로, 제가 가진 지식을 여러분들께 더 효과적으로 전달하기 위해 늘 노력하고 있습니다.

이번 강의가 여러분께 좋은 출발점이 되어, 즐거운 게임 개발자의 세계로 나아가는 데 작은 보탬이 되기를 기원합니다. ~
