## coherence 1.1.4

**coherence** is a network engine, platform and a series of tools to help anyone create a multiplayer game. Our mission is to give any game developer, regardless of how technical they are, the power to make a connected game.

### Get started

If you would like to get started right away, you can check the [Installation](https://docs.coherence.io/1.1/get-started/install-coherence) page to learn how to install **coherence in Unity**, set up your Scene, Prefabs, interactions, as well as deploy your project to be shared with your friends.

### Learn coherence

We have an entire section of content to get you up to speed with **coherence**: [Learn](https://docs.coherence.io/1.1/learning-coherence).

If you're new to all of this, you can start with the [Beginner's guide to networking](https://docs.coherence.io/1.1/learning-coherence/beginners-guide-to-networking) which is a written intro to high-level networking.

If you prefer to be hands-on, you can explore the [package Samples](https://docs.coherence.io/1.1/learning-coherence/package-samples) included directly within the Unity SDK. Or, download one of our pre-made Unity projects [First Steps](https://docs.coherence.io/1.1/learning-coherence/first-steps-tutorial) or [Campfire](https://docs.coherence.io/1.1/learning-coherence/campfire-project), which come with great documentation explaining the thinking behind them.

If you enjoy videos as a learning tool, we have a [playlist of video tutorials](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnHFD0m6ywmNY4CEE99U7vkaq2Vrk9FvS) dedicated to getting started with the Unity SDK.

### Update an existing project

If you are an existing user and looking to update, check out the latest [Release Notes](https://docs.coherence.io/1.1/overview/release-notes). And maybe the [SDK update guide](https://docs.coherence.io/1.1/coherence-sdk-for-unity/upgrading-unity-sdk) as well!
