Am I allowed to make a tutorial on Unity3D?

I have a Youtube channel and would like to offer tutorials on how to program in C#. I am unsure, however, if I’m allowed?

it is legal but the tutorial mafia won’t take kindly

I bet there’s a license or something I have to mention, though.

Of course you’re allowed. Just don’t have Unity trademarks as part of your branding. For example, don’t call the channel/business “Unity Tutorials”. Try “Game Dev Tutorials” instead.

Can I title a Playlist as such? I have a Godot tutorial series going on as well and don’t want viewers to get confused.

just put your name on the tutorials and you’ll be fine. e.g. “jimbobs unity tutorials” “leetgamerz c# mastercourse” etc.

there is no tutorial mafia, i was making jokes.

…Or was I?

Why wouldn’t it be allowed? There’s a billion Unity tutorials out there.

Thnx. I felt there was a way, but I am trying to keep things legal. Ie if I needed some special license on the tuts, or whatever.

Again, why would you assume that there is a license required for that?

Godot has one. You have to at least offer a link to it.

There is no Unity3d.
Is just Unity. So please don’t make noob mistake doing tutorials, with Unity3d text, or commentary in them.

This is required ONLY if you distribute Godot, either by forking the project (which will automatically comply since it’ll also fork the license text) or by compiling it and publishing it as an executable, in that case you need to include a link to their license page or include the entire MIT License text.

This requirement however does not apply to making videos or tutorials. If you upload the tutorial project for the public, in this case it will include or reference Godot in source form, therefore you don’t need to do anything specific in that case either.

PS: don’t freak out on licenses. Nobody cares if you’re not making at least 5-digit numbers from your channel. :wink:
