Getting Started

Hi,

I am very, VERY noob about unity and I am not sure if this is a proper quesiton…

I want to make a very simple game, I havent used unity and seems too good to be true…

Is basically a city building game, but very very basic, with some functions at the buildings (like pay rent from time to time and so on).

Ive found this package and I was wondering if this is what I am looking for?

or if that kind of games are possible to be made with unity3d?

I am not looking to create a game like Zeus, or Cesar, just something very simple and basic.

Any idea? Thanks.

You can make any kind of game. Unity’s not a gamemaker, it’s an engine. You program it to do what you want.

Hi, thanks, but … what are the advantages to make it with unity than with native? I still dont understand many things… (documentation seems to be very descriptive) but the product itself, its not so clear for me…

Because you don’t have to learn OpenGL/Direct3D/Metal/etc. and make everything from scratch. Also porting to other platforms is (mostly) a matter of switching to the platform and hitting “publish”, rather than re-coding stuff manually.

Start here, work your way through the tutorials then go back & use what you learnt to start modifying the games. Then decide, if you start trying to make your dream game first with no experience it won’t be a good experience.

Yes. It’s listed in the Unity Showcase under Simulation along with a couple other similar games.
