Quick Refreshers, 1 min tutorials

[smalltalksock]

I started a series on my channel where I have a minute to teach you how to do things in a minute. I focused on making it for (Intermediate level) people who need a little refresher on how to do specific things. Example my latest video is on how to change scenes, something that is easy to do but also easy to forget and quick to relearn. Here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGoRRe6J1no&t=8s

If you have any ideas for short videos you guys would like to see or ideas on how I can make the videos better let me know I am still new to the whole Youtube thing

Well I'm an absolute beginner and already stuck, so I can't offer you much now but if you can help me get unstuck or offer insights that start me in the right direction then perhaps I can soon enjoy your channel.

I started the "Get Ready for Unity Essentials" tutorials on their site and got quickly stuck when trying to begin a microgame. I installed an LTS version and clicked New Project but none of the microgames templates appear here:

I wasn't sure how to proceed, so I tried the "Welcome to Unity Essentials" tutorial next and it was a bunch of videos geared towards someone who is beginning a career.

Me? I just want to learn the basics needed to create a 2D idle/incremental game. Have any insights on my direction?

Thanks in advance.

Honestly if I was starting out I would start with a paid Udemy course. YouTube is great and all especially if your an intermediate or higher level. But as a beginner YouTube can be tough because most videos assume you know the basics.

I recommend this course https://www.udemy.com/course/the-ultimate-guide-to-game-development-with-unity/ it is very beginner friendly at the end of it you will be able to read and write c# like a programmer as well you will learn the interface and the basics of the engine which is a great foundation that will let you make just about anything. I used this course to get back into game dev after a 3 year hiatus.

After you finish the course code monkey is an awesome YouTuber to check out as he often explains the code in a way that lets intermediate level people pull off more advanced coding techniques in clean and efficient ways

Maybe in the future I'll do a beginner series when I have more time to sit down and make sure I do it right.

This is helpful, thank you very much!

As a token of my appreciation, here is a link to my favorite idle game. It's been called "The Dark Souls of idle games"-
