TIL that Adam is not a 'never nester.' As a more intermediate dev I really enjoyed this. I like the way you handle drag and friction through code rather than solely with the inhouse physics engine. It was refreshing to have more of a deep dive into base movement, rather than trying to fit as many 'features' into the video like double jumps and coyote time.

You have a gift for teaching. It comes so easy to listen and follow.

It's pretty amazing how quickly you turned this around for how high-quality of a video this is! Thank you so much - looking forward to the rest of the series. :)

[zacccore]

Thank you for doing a series like this. I actually really appreciate how you explain everything, and the pacing is very good imo.

I definitely came to your channel for your pixel art content, but I am 100 percent on board for more of these unity videos!

Finally managed to catch one of your livestreams this morning and now seeing this video, perfect timing because I wanted to start unity today! All of your stuff is incredibly inspiring, and I've been wanting to dive into things myself. And while I have experience in front-end coding, most tutorials I've encountered skip the stuff that makes you actually *understand* it. Thank you Adam!

I'VE BEEN WAITING THIS KIND OF TUTORIALS FROM YOU! THANKS!

[aritea]

Thank you so much, it took me like over an hour ust to get through the first third of it for top down but it's horribly Overwhelming rewarding. And I love you, you've brought me immense joy.

[Ilgar]

I literally was searching for this and I saw your upload. Bless you

As a casual user of Unity, this video really helps me to see good usages of Unity. It conforts me on some way I'm going things but also shows me features I'm didn't know about or used without really get the purpose of it. You show really really good practices on the fly where most of the tuto online are just g straight to the point but in a super dirty way. Without considering scalability, code refactoring or real implementations.
So thanks!

Great video! I love your dev journals, but I really truly enjoy your instructional videos for Unity and/or pixel art. Thanks!

[CharlesA.]

I was looking forward this one. Thank you so much Adam. We really appreciate you bro !

[NeatGames]

The detailed explanations are awesome :D

[stefans]

these are incredibly useful and understandable, you're really good at explaining things
Thanks!

[tombandiera]

Works great, thank you ! It's really nice to have someone covering both coding, art and game design on the same channel as i'm interested in both subjects.
In addition, your videos are of high quality and you are very pleasant to listen to in the way you explain things. Good luck with Insignia by the way, can't wait to buy it :)

Great tutorial, I wish I had these style tutorials 5 years when I first began my gamedev journey! I love that you explain each of the various Unity fields & code inputs rather than just glossing over them! Thanks Adam!

[funteav]

Adam, your coding tutorials are a game-changer! Your teaching style is spot-on, making complex concepts easy to grasp. I'm hooked and genuinely hope you keep the series going. Your gift for teaching is making a real impact, and I'm excited to learn more. Cheers!

[Ebenchadnezzar]

This was soo helpful, please continue this series!

[JimmyCeeTV]

Just the info I was looking for, and very well explained. More like this please 🙏

[ELF_Productions]

I love to see the explanations on the coded version of friction and acceleration. Awesome tutorial and well explained

[globes]

Nice, would love to hear more in the later vids
