This textbook tutorial was based on the Exodus Vigil PC & MAC Game and historical Christian novel, written by Kris Murray, called Exodus: God of the Slaves.
Novel: Exodus: God of the Slaves Story: A new god comes to Egypt and sends his emissary ahead of him. A declaration of war is made that shakes the Egyptian pantheon to its core. Four young Egyptian soldiers witness the wonder as disaster upon disaster befall their homeland. Follow Yalu, Nebit, Badru, and Tau as they experience the plagues on Egypt for themselves. Yalu, a natural leader tries to survive as he attempts to overcome his past. Nebit carves out her own path with her daggers, leaving deception in her wake. Apprenticed to Pharaoh’s chief magician, Badru attempts to make sense of the battle that rages on above their heads. Tau fights on to win glory and honor for himself. How will they respond as the statues of the gods they’ve known all their lives crumble to the ground all around them? Feel how the Egyptians felt as war rages across their pantheon. Relive the familiar Exodus story set in the exotic land of Egypt from a fresh new perspective. Rediscover the wonders and signs from God of the Slaves. You can purchase the book at your favorite online bookstore like Amazon.com.

What Others Are Saying About The Unity 3D C# Tutorial:
“The Exodus Adventure – Introduction to C# with Unity 3D is an excellent resource for aspiring programmers and game designers from middle-school to adult! The tutorials are very accessible (and humorous) and are enhanced by important screenshots and visuals of the Unity game engine in action. Furthermore, the material provided helps to prove the viability of fun Bible based games! I will be utilizing this for my Game Engines class this Fall and will also be adding it to my middle school daughter’s home curriculum. This is both a great primer for C# and a strong introduction to Unity and the principles of game development in general!” – Rich Tanner, Clinical Professor of Digital Entertainment Technology, Abilene Christian University, Abilene, TX
“The BibleByte Books team have created an excellent learning tool that was not previously available anywhere in the world until now. They have combined a Unity 3D learning game development environment along with the Bible as you create a game! As a Bible-based ministry that works with youth, we found the Exodus Adventure Unity 3D C# tutorial to be the perfect combination we were looking for! Each lesson is well thought out, challenging, but not too difficult. The visuals are really great as well. We are super excited to incorporate it into our regular youth training program! “– Ben Myers – Inner-City Movement, Upper Darby, PA

The pictures and instructions in this tutorial are extremely helpful and clear compared to other tutorials and textbooks. it combines educational and instructive information while keeping it lighthearted with the characters within the tutorial. The opportunity to build a visually appealing role playing game with code that you write is a great experience. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about coding and wants to see immediate visual results through game building.” – Zachary Gong, Systems Support Analyst, Elk Grove, CA
“My name is Scott Adams and I was honored to write the Foreword to this incredible 3D game programming tutorial. I am one of the earliest founders of the home computer gaming industry. My experience with computer Adventure type games dates back to 1978 when I created the first commercially available adventure for home computers. Today’s game studios spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on artists and designers to create modern games. So how does one go about creating such a game on their own or learn the tools that the studios use? That is where this Unity 3D C# tutorial textbook comes in. It opens up the world of Unity 3D and provides all the game assets of art and scripting to create a real masterpiece of a game. As a nascent game creator you will be shown how to take full advantage of the Unity 3D system to build the game, then you will also have all the assets of that game to use in your own creations later. You are starting an incredible journey where you are going be learn the tools you need to make games. Once you have that foundation, you will be limited only by your own imagination! You have a great deal of fun waiting for you in the pages of this textbook. Happy Adventuring!” – Scott Adams, www.msadams.com, www.clopas.net
