Looking for a (simple) top-down character movement tutorial

Unity Engine
1

I’m making a 2.5D top-down game and would like to know if anyone has a tutorial on simple character movement (WSAD + Mouse to aim character in a direction). Most tutorials are for 2D mode, but I’m in 3D mode and I feel like they wouldn’t work.

The character controller that comes with Unity is a little to complicated and includes a whole bunch of features I don’t need… I’m trying to keep it (bare-bones) minimalist. Can anyone point me to a good site or tutorial that I can use? I’ve never coded #C before so I don’t want some kind of plugin from the asset store because I want to learn.

Thanks,
Craig

The only difference between 2D and 3D is that you need to account for the Z, nothing else; if you are serious about learning you can read the 2D tutorials and apply what you need form there.

On a side note, unless you have hills and such, which you don’t seem to in your screenshot you can use a 2D movement solution while your camera displays a 3D view, there is no problem with that at all
