What Assets Should I Download to Start With?

Hey, guys.

I was just wondering what assets and such you would recommend to someone who is a total and complete noob to game development like me. I was reading up on the Unity wiki and I find that I am what I think they called a ‘visualizer.’ I can visualize my game perfectly, but I can’t put it in code or anything. So, I was wondering what things I should download to make my time with Unity… easier, so to say? I am, like I said, very visual so an asset that takes away some, or a lot, of scripting and changes it into visual logic bricks or automatic scripting would be amazingly helpful and really just any step in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! If you’re wondering what I plan to make, in case you would have a game-specific add-on in mind, I am planning to build an online-only FPS and my ULTIMATE plan is to build a single-player, story/cutscene driven TPS. Thanks again and I hope to join the game-building community very soon! :slight_smile:

Complete projects in your genre of interest(FPS?)

YOu can’t hide forever!

:stuck_out_tongue:

without knowing the basic workings of code and unity you are gonna hit a wall and not know how to manipulate things for your purposes.

That said,…UNity comes with some decent prefabs,… look up the Third person controller

Assets/import package/ character controller in the top menus.

you can get a pre-animated construction dude and camera.

drag and drop,…and feel your way around.

good luck!

Playmaker is amazing and highly recommended.

It seems really easy compared to scripting! But, unfortunately I don’t have $45 to spend on a mod to the UI of Unity… :confused: Is there any kind of less expensive or free alternative to PlayMaker?

ProBuilder and ProGrids are two must have purchases IMHO.
Past that, buy a starter project or the new Learn area of the Unity website has some projects ready to go.
