Overwhelmed with unity. Hardcore noob here.

To start things off i have some experience making games and running them. Mainly RPG PHP browser based games But i have 0 experience with 3d games and making them.

When i first got enough motivation to invest in some time i decided to go with unity. I heard nothing but good things. When i first launched it it was overwhelming me. I had no idea what to do and it was at a scene tab.

I suspect that im going to have to take this slow.

So my question is this. Are they any great walkthroughs or video tutorials that anyone can suggest?

I have 2 ideas currently looking into. a Card game something like (hearthstone/magic the gathering) and a basic RPG game for now(who saw that comin eh?)

I accept the fact that i will be using base models for now graphically.

Super-starter (for the really beginning before advanced topics): Learn

In Unity’s Learn section you will find a ton of helpful stuff about how the editor works and some tutorials and sample projects.

Considering your prior experience and goals, you might want to pay special attention to working with Unity’s in-game UI, as you can use that to present images and text to the player. It comes with a simple event system which you can use to have the UI respond to the player pressing UI buttons.

Even with very little Unity experience, you could make a UI that responds to mouse clicks, and thus a primitive PC game which you can create assets for, build, have friends test, and so on.

It’s best to try to keep each step simple as you go, so you don’t get bogged down in all the complexity. There’s a whole lot of details you can encounter when making a game, so keep your scope narrow. :slight_smile:
