How to create a game in unity without using programming language
It's true that most of the interactive content you can create in Unity relies on text-based programming. Unity supports the C# programming language and you need to understand two main areas: logic and syntax. The logic is "what should happen" and the syntax is the language with which we communicate these instructions. However, if you have little or no experience with Unity or writing code and just want to start understanding some basic concepts and workflows, we suggest downloading the free version of Unity Editor using the "Beginner Users" option on our page. of Introduction. During the download process, you will be able to select a ready-made microgame, which will be automatically added to the editor when you open it.
When your microgame is open, you can immediately start making some simple changes by following the interactive tutorials in the editor, which provide step-by-step guidance for your first creative tasks in Unity.
When you finish the tutorials, you will be able to further customize your microgame with our collection of mods, which will allow you to further develop your microgame with different simple and fun options.There are also many tools available in the Asset Store, which allow you to go a long way in creating games with virtually no coding. Read the description of three of the best tools in the following sections.
VISUAL SCRIPTING WITH BOLT
Included free with all Unity versions, Bolt lets you bring your ideas to life in a creative and graphic way with its visual scripting system created by award-winning game and tools developer, Lazlo Bonin. There is no integration layer between Bolt and Unity, which makes maintenance simple. Bolt will improve your ability to prototype, iterate, and bring your ideas to life faster. bolt in action
Lazlo Bonin began working on the Bolt visual scripting tool while working with his team on the narrative walking experience called Ephemera. The team was looking for visual State Machines that could help artists and animators contribute to scene structure and gameplay, without losing focus on essential systems and code writing.
With Bolt, you have immediate access to your own character classes, objects, etc., and you can call functions from them and set properties within the tool.

VISUAL SCRIPTING WITH PLAYMAKER
If you are a designer or an artist and you want to exploit your creative potential without writing code, PlayMaker is the best option for you. You can quickly create game prototypes, AI behaviors, animation graphics, and interactive objects. This visual scripting tool was also used in other games, such as Hearthstone, INSIDE, and Dreamfall Chapters.

Playmaker is a visual scripting tool that replaces the text-based paradigm with a visual metaphor. The logic is expressed through interconnected graphics to create relationships and the syntax is expressed automatically with pre-built actions that can be selected from a list.
A tool like PlayMaker, integrated with Unity, allows many creators interested in game creation, story, or the relationship between characters and objects, to get down to business without having to focus on the details of code syntax;If you'd like to learn how it works, watch the video series that explores the steps involved in creating visual scripting interactivity with PlayMaker.
VISUAL SCRIPTING WITH ADVENTURE CREATOR
Adventure Creator is the asset you need if you want to create 2D, 2.5D or 3D games in Unity without having to write code. Its visual scripting system and intuitive Editor allow beginners to create a complete game without writing a single line of code, and help programmers insert their own functions so that they are ready to use.
"It's amazing. It has all the necessary tools to create a professional looking point and click game without having to write a single line of code. Also, the creator is very helpful and has helped me solve many complex problems and ideas that I've had with this software". (Ash Denton, Capital)

Another example of a tool that makes life easier for those with no experience writing Unity code is the story of Ash Denton.
He has worked on several videos for Inside XBox and is one of the creators of the "Thank You for Playing" video series.
Thanks to the Unity community, Ash discovered Adventure Creator: an open and flexible tool that allowed him to insert 2D characters into a 3D world. One of the best aspects of this tool for a person who has no experience writing code is that you can easily create events and buttons with node-based scripts, and the scene manager organizes all the logic in a scene, including zones. active, navigation and triggers.
