Hi guys if anybody here has played this game before (Cookie Clicker) I would like to know, is it too hard to make it in unity?
My plan is making one for android, but i don’t want any unnecessary complexity in the development. my first plan was to make it web-based then port it with phonegap. But i always wanted to make a game in unity and this seems like a good start.
Greetings!
It’s definitely a great start for a beginner project. It’s a good way to learn the new or old GUI since the game has so many menus and things to click on.
All I suggest is that you first lay out your game screens before making them so things don’t get cluttered or too complicated later on.
My idea for a clicker game: make it a very simple interface and also add a high score list. Then add a twist: for every friend someone invites, they get a bonus multiplier to their clicker rate. I’m curious how well this would do …
I think gigi did a cookie clicker game that didnt do too well so i guess not too well but the asset store is something of a crapshot anyway.
I made it in about 45 minutes, it’s really easy.
Any good tutorials to start making one?
I’ve never seen one, but it is pretty easy, just do it and you will learn a ton. If you get stuck on a specific thing, just ask on the forums. Best way to learn is to just try doing something.
Look for a demo project that has a lot of menus. Since your game will be 100% mouse clicks and buttons, a menu tutorial is what you’re after. Maybe you can try the 4.6 tutorials for the new GUI system.
I’d also recommend everyone interested in this thread also check out clicker heroes. It’s cookie clicker with RPG visuals.

+1 for this, an awesome game.
Also for tablets, there is Galaxy Clicker.
