So I just installed unity and picked my way through some of the tutorials…but I have no real idea of what to do next? Do I download assets?
Any help would be appreciated
A confused new guy
Depending on how quickly you pick things up or how familiarized you are with the interface you should probably start at the very, very beginning of the tutorials. They’re really good, really helpful for beginners and definitely worth your time to go through.
After you understand the interface you can probably go through the basic roll-a-ball tutorial which covers a variety of things in Unity and proceed depending on your comfort level. You can use the Asset Store for downloading any assets you might want, but you want to keep this to a minimum until, otherwise you’ll be just more overwhelmed trying to figure out the project organization and stuff. Just try to keep it simple and organized and it’ll all make sense.
The community around the forum is also always here to help out. Just make sure you post code with code tags and try to keep your questions concise.

Chose something that you’re curious about experimenting with. Will it be a small puzzle game? an atmospheric 3D scene? something 2D even…? point is… .let your curiosity guide you.

Having settled on wanting to make something small to start, that interests you, find the closest matching tutorial or ask here. But first you need to be clear what you want to do.
The reason it has to be done in that order of objective-first, learn-second is because the field of game development is so big, no single person can learn it all in their lifetime. That doesn’t make it hard, just a broad subject with so many possibilities (endless).
edit: LaneFox put it better, I would do that!

No. Assets are for later when you are confident you know what you are doing. For now they will just get in the way.
