Tips for an absolute beginner

The following tips may seem a little snarky, but are meant quite seriously:

  1. Learn to use the learn section. Learn
  2. Learn to use the search function for the forums. I’m pretty sure there have already been threads with tips.
  3. Learn to be specific. Don’t ask for general help, ask for specific help. Right now I know you are a Unity beginner, but I have no idea if you know how to code, model or anything. I don’t even know what you want to achieve, how am I supposed to help you?
  4. Learn to help yourself. There is no shame in asking for help and there are many helpful people on the forums. But if you ever want to get anything done try to solve problems yourself before asking.
  5. If you still have a coding problem you can get help in the scripting section. But remember to use code tags: https://forum.unity.com/threads/using-code-tags-properly.143875/
  6. (Game)development takes time. If you want to get anywhere, you are in for the long run.
  7. You won’t get rich. You probably won’t even make any money.

If you follow these general guidelines you will have a great time.
