Newbie too stupid to code. What is the best extension for me?

[terrybishop]

I want to make a minimalistic, point and click, narrative and art driven, story book adventure game with a simple inventory system that is controlled with only a mouse.

I tried to learn coding but my brain is about to explode, and nothing makes sense.

Any plug in out there that can help me achieve what I want to do for less than $100? Without the need of touching any coding whatsoever of course.

Unity Engine

You’ll still need to understand somewhat how Unity is architected as well as some terminology, otherwise it will be nearly impossible to search for stuff:

Unity’s component architecture

Custom GameObject

Unity scenes are made of GameObjects. They are all identical to each other. They are just empty vessels essentially. What sets them apart from each other is Components plugged into them, such as Transform and Monobehaviors. In addition to two above classes of “Unity things,” there is also the notion of an Asset. References to Assets may be slotted into other Assets or into Components that are slotted into GameObjects. Assets may or may not exist on disk, or may be created in code and slotted…

Terminology primer for assets:

Convert sliced sprites into materials for quads

Generally nothing above can be “converted” between each other. They are all distinct things. To put an area of a Texture2D on a quad, generally you need to manipulate the UVs of the quad. Otherwise, just use a Sprite and render it with a SpriteRenderer Just to help you keep your terminology straight: a Texture2D is an image (think JPG or PNG) a Sprite is a set of coordinates (box or otherwise) outlining something interesting on a Texture2D SpriteRenderers render Sprites UI Image components …

I like this guy’s approach for a learning course / path:

Well if you dont want to code youll just need someone to code for you, 1 plugin cant save you

However, its normal for coding to take time to learn

I dont know what the consensus is right now on the topic if “all people are able to learn to code”, but the idealist thing to say is “keep trying you can do it!”

There must be tools around that work without coding. Probably (for a coder) a bit limited but people use them apparently. I noticed this one (have no idea about it) but it is on sale and they have a Discord server so you can see what people who use it have to say. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/game-creator-89443
