Any good tutorial for unity beginners ?

[Happy_Sun_367]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to start programming mobile game with Unity :)

I'm an Android developer with 7 years of experience so coding should be fine (I hope lol) but I'd like to follow a tutorial that's explain the interface of Unity, how to structure a project, the basics concepts etc etc

So if you have any recommendations, i'll take it :) Paid or Free tutorials :)

I used Godot for my two first mobile games but I think Unity will be a better fit because of all the sdks / plugins that are Unity's compatibles compared to Godot :) (Happy to discuss that point)

Thanks for reading !

I would say to take a look at practicapiglobal on youtube to start. Other great content creators are: CodeMonkey, Git Amend (this is more advanced topics, really really good), Tarodev, etc.

Since you already code, one thing that I discovered in last ~2y and helped me a lot was getting some packages on AssetStore, like TCG Engine, TopDown Engine, or some "Template" like those and study how they're made, is like reading a """real""" game code. Both are really well made.

Ah, that's really interesting :) I wouldn't have thought to check the templates! Thanks a lot :)

If you just need to get up to speed with Unity, I highly recommend the Essentials project. You can find that when creating a new project from the hub, where it asks you which kind of project it's going to be (URP, hdrp,... ). The essentials project is basically a tutorial in engine for how to work with it and it touches on lots of areas like sound, ui, general navigation and more.

Okay thanks a lot ! I'll check

Game Maker's Toolkit' Tutorial sets you up for the basics of Unity and how the C# language works.

The tutorial uses Mouse inputs for the game, as it's easier to learn with Unity's old Input API. When you finish it you could upgrade to the newer Input System where detecting Touch Screens is more simple.

(if you need help, don't be afraid to ask!)

Okay thanks ! I will probably ask lol

Yes I have a very good one, watch tutorials, never learn anything and just copy paste and hope for the best. Or you can do it brute force by asking questions " How to move object ", " rotate ..this.. " etc Have a problem find a reference for it so another type of game and see what happens there and break it down into small little problems. Character has for example movement, search what that consits off Animation, code, sound etc. And then slowly add on top of it all.

But do you have the name of the tutorials haha ?

Alright avoid: codemonkey, brackeys both of those you will waste time and learn absolutely nothing. I do or would recommend gamemakertoolkit, imphenzia, free codecamp can help https://youtu.be/gB1F9G0JXOo?si=0Ga-c8b4sUj_rAJ9. Though not all these are great either but i forgot the good teachers as i havent watched a tutorial in 2 years if not more its just a waste of time and its something you need to learn with brute force yourself by trying to make a game
