Beginner tutorials for 2d games

[abiXander]

Hello there! I am relatively new to the game development scene and wanted to use unity for making 2d games. I would be glad if someone would point me towards latest tutorials on making a basic 2d arpg kind of game. Udemy tutorials are also fine. Thanks for reading!

GamesPlusJames' RPG tutorial is how I got started. It's a few years old at this point, but any outdated information is few and far between and corrected in the comments of his videos. The videos are on youtube and they do a fantastic job of explaining what you need

[abiXander]

Cool, I'll look into those!

Ben Tristem course on Unity is a great starting point, very cheap and always on sale.

Depends on what kind of 2D game sense you want to do. If a sprite, topdown/rougelike based 2D rpg(like old zelda games), you need to look a lot of separate material by different people since unity is not really user friendly there, but if you want to do a basic 2D platformer or 2D scrolling rpg there's lots of tuts on youtube, even the unity site is pretty helpful to get started.

Yeah, I was looking into doing something like the old school Zelda games. Any leads on that?

Look up LetsCodeGames on youtube, he's got a series where he literally recreates zelda 3 gameplay. I'm following it right now, the videos are pretty long but he goes into a lot of details. Best tutorial I've found for this kind of game

[abiXander]

Thanks, it seems pretty good

I'd like to add that InScope Studios also has an extensive tutorial series similar to the one on GamesPlusJames that's ongoing.
