I’ve been thinking of starting a Unity tutorial website to help people learn Unity, and maybe get some money from advertising. The tutorials would be high quality written tutorials.
But I was thinking maybe there is already enough tutorials on the web, and I’m just not sure.
Also I keep thinking about how Unity themselves is making lots of “official” video tutorials.
Do you think there is still a need for good Unity tutorials?
I’d say yes.
Though I would like to say that I think the tutorials we need are ones that teach more advanced ideas. I’ve seen plenty of tutorial series that go through the basics and teach basic concepts, and you can find help for lots of this stuff. But I haven’t seen much for more advanced techniques. When people need help with something advanced quite often others will point them to some script you can find online that has the basic concept of what they need and say, “Here, mod this until it works the way you want.” And while fiddling around with others scripts can be quite beneficial and a good experience I think it would be more beneficial if there were tutorials that taught you how to grasp those advanced concepts, instead of fiddling around with something that someone else made and that you only slightly understand.
I haven’t looked at any of Unity’s official tutorials so I can’t say how advanced those are. But I would say that if not more advanced teachings, then we always need more tutorials on how to create basic game mechanics. A lot of tutorials focus on one specific game type and making a complete game. It would be nice to have some well made videos that show you things like “Here are some simple ways to make fighting mechanics” and show simple examples of hitboxes, raycasts, and other methods of “fighting” enemies. Instead of making it for one specific game type, just show many common elements that you can use for a wide variety of games.
Do a tutorial on implementing the facebook sdk with unity.
@Gale Yes, I certainly think there is a great need for advanced tutorials, which is what I would focus on (if I decided to do these tutorials).
yes, if you are thinking about easy to understand advanced tutorials.
no, if you mean beginner tutorials. there is already plenty of them.
