Hi. Can anyone recommend a tutor to help a beginner build their first ever game? Thanks!
Hello,

Someone who can work on a one-to-one basis with a 16 yo who wants to work in game design when he leaves school. Thanks (ps - I’m his mum!)

If you need help with concrete game building, then I can recommend https://www.gamedev.tv/, https://game.courses/ or https://holistic3d.com/ they have excellent courses where he can go through the course and can talk to other students and the instructors about the subjects and solutions. It’s not 1:1 tutoring, but it’s more affordable.
If you’re looking for concrete game design tutor, I probably can’t help you with recommendation because I never tried anyone. But I would try to contact https://holistic3d.com/ (Penny) or https://game.courses/ (Jason) and ask, maybe one of them accept 1:1 teaching opportunities or they can recommend someone.

OK, and more exactly what he/she needs? a person via zoom hrs a week? general guide in the house?
Look: Learn
I’m an indie game developer. A Unity user. I try several game engines before: RAD, Unreal, Cry, etc. But Unity was simple to learn. Especially the coding side.
In my experience:

There are what they call Unity evangelists but not shore what they are for.
They are all good. Is nice to start coding making games. Is challenging and exciting. You learn a lot. My feelings are that it more or less take you 3 years.
I strongly recommend also learning to code in C#.
