Excited but Overwhelmed

Getting Started
1

Greetings ,

As a new Unity user I am excited but overwhelmed by the amount of resources out there. I think by maybe explaining the project I would like to build maybe people can show me a series of Info I should tackle to get there. I am trying to produce a Mobile/Facebook Evolution RPG. I would like to mix in several elements to create a unique progression feel. As far as multiplayer function etc. I would like to use a ranking type system to place players based various ranks within various gameplay categories and a PvP type format akin to IdleHeroes with only 1 player needing to be online for the pvp to ensue.

A lot of elements will be cookie cutter rpg skills/levels/gear etc. Many elements will be Time Management as well including the building and gathering of resources to help raise levels of buildings etc and various other abilities attributed to the individual player. Any ideas of a good tutorial or set of tutorials I should work on to learn how to code in these sorts of elements?

Dont let me burst your bubble of exitement but unless you have a fairly good amount of previous experience the game you described is close enough to out of reach that it may frustrate you into never finishing.
As a new unity user myself with only a basic background in programming I found the learn section and tutorial projects helpful as a starting point. It is a good idea to start small, get a few simple projects under your belt before trying to tackle the big stuff of your dreams. You must crawl before you walk and all.

The project is probably out of scope for a single developer. Even a reasonably experienced one.

The best place to start is the learn section. Go through each tutorial one at a time.

Then build a complete clone of a very small game, like flappy bird or space invaders.

Then you can think about your own game.
