Building games with Unity is hard enough without having to stand up and go and make a coffee each time you want to just build your project or find out days/weeks down the line that some change you made while building your dream has incurred a debt that means your project cannot be built for one of your target platforms without a lot of rework.

Through automation, many of these hardships can be detected early and free up time and stress by monitoring your project as it is being created, identify risks and issues as you write the code, and free up your machine while lengthy build processes are running. The change might be hard, but once setup, it will give you peace of mind that everything you create will run, updates will be automatically managed, and your players are less likely to be drafting one-star reviews on your next publication.

What You Will Learn
