I’ve updated the main post with episodes 15 and 16, which cover particle death effects for the enemies, as well as weapon effects like shells and muzzleflashes.

@SebastianLague , I love your tutorials.

I actually discovered your tutorials with the Blender character modelling one.

This series is great for me. Getting back to Unity after a while. The pace is perfect for me. I can always stop and digest if I need to.

It’s all so elegant (at least from my vantage point).

Thanks again. I hope to be a Patreon soon.

I’d also consider this tutorial as a teaching aid or possibly the basis for a curriculum (summer code camp, etc) . I find that subjects (coroutines/interfaces/events-delegates/etc.) are introduced in the relevant/organic context without forcing them and things gravitate towards simplicity.

I’m on lesson 8 - can’t wait for that enemy disintegration episode :slight_smile:

@SebastianLague - I just stumbled across Infection (LD #29 entry) - wow! I can see where you got to flex your TDS muscles.

Here’s the behind the scenes for those interested:

My tendency has always been to !finish many of these. I hope to see this one through (and get back and finish the new platform one :slight_smile:

and thank you! Your tut’s are a perfect fit with me.

Up to #20 now, getting close to the end :wink:
