Heyo, all.
I am looking to create a 3rd person shooter akin to Saints Row the Third. I have little experience with Unity, and I just want to know from an experienced user: where do I start? Any tutorials/advice for a noob appreciated. Thanks!
Take it easy.

Linked in my signature is a thread with a PDF tutorial by AnomalusUndrdog that is about creating a really simplistic 3rd person zombie shooter. It’s probably a good place to start.
You may also want to look at the “Create Any FPS Game” package on Asset Store. It’s free and will give you both some tools to work with and some code to tear apart and understand. (Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making)
I also found the series of tutorial videos from 3D Buzz on creating a third person controller very helpful. I don’t have a current link, so you’ll have to poke around the 3D Buzz site.
I’ve seen the Walker Boys series (which you can find a thread for on this forum) recommended by a lot of people. I don’t have personal experience with that one though.
The walker boys tutorials are good but very slow paced. So if you feel like you are impatient the Walker Boys tutorials might not be for you.
@LoAHS This idea is a big deal, so don’t rush yourself, I’m not saying, don’t do it, I’m saying go slowly, you are new to unity, get the basics of Javascript or C# ready and when you feel you are ready, start your project, if you don’t know somethign you need, Great! Go look for the awnser. The MOST Important part is to be organized, write your GDD(Game Design Document) and stick to it! you may add whatever you wish, but make sure to make a very detailed GDD and then try to maintain it’s road. But as I say’d, DON’T RUSH! It will get done sometime ! Wish you luck man!
