As Neoku said, Unity Learn is a great place to start place to start learning. When I was just starting out I also used this tutorial series, parts of them guide you through creating a 2D Mario style platformer and also a 3D one. If you aren’t familiar with Unity at all I’d recommend not jumping straight to that part though, first either work on the earlier parts of that tutorial series or go through the Unity Learn videos (or both, better yet). Good luck with your game.

  • This is the central hub for all documentation/archives available on the unity website.
  • This is where all the tutorials are available ranging from scripting to animations to etc.
  • I’m assuming you’ve never used Unity before, so you should get familiar with the work space and editor before doing anything!
  • I’m also assuming you’ve never scripted or coded before? Maybe? Whatever. Go here anyways. This will teach you basic syntax, functions, scripting in unity.

  • Now that you have basic editor and scripting knowledge, you should watch this video series by Extra Credits, they are simple and quick videos, now choose your scope for your first game. Don’t do a platformer, or anything HUGE PLEASE.
  • I would recommend learning from this tutorial first, but if you have some experience already you can do your own thing.

@Heu I misread your name as Hue, which seemed more appropriate for that newbie pwn.
