DUDE YOUR AWESOME!!! your helping to create more indie devs with each video you create and inspiring them to do there best, allowing other devs or people wanting to learn how to make games talk and help each other out. Dont stop this bad ass game dev train man great work :)

One of the best Unity guides out there. Usually people don't show their workflows and you're left to figure things out. I appreciate the tutorials. Cheers

Thanks for the video. I just started my very first game ever a few weeks ago with unity. And such up to date tutorials like yours really help me, feel good about, what i do. And dude, its no shame telling us 10 times a vid, that we have to keep everything clean.
I still struggle with doing so ! ^^

Can you make a tutorial on how to make a 2D character? Like your workflow, how you do it etc.

Your tutorials are quite literally the ONLY ones that make sense to someone just diving into the world of game development with no background in it. Thank you so much.

I've been following you since I first played Coma years ago. I love anyone who goes and does it for themselves and therefore creates something amazing because they have total control. I love what you're doing with these tutorials! Such a great help. And your presentation is clear and well paced. Well done and thanks!

Thank you, Thomas! How about a course on Udemy about creating a 2d games with all your skills? Create something cool with art from zero to complete small project, with all steps with refactoring and other hacks? I think this would be really cool for all game lovers! Thank you for all you doing! Hello from Siberia Russia! :)

Thomas, as someone who is totally new to Unity 2D, this tutorial is AMAZING MAN!

Thank you so much for doing this. It's made me feel like I can ACTUALLY make a game, which is something I've wanted to do for so long. So thank you. This means a lot to me.

Keep doing great stuff!

One of the best and most honest Unity tutorials I've seen. Great job Thomas! I subscribed... keep up the awesome work. I'd love to see a video on all the "tricks of the trade" you've learned to make things easier in Unity and PS. Thanks a lot my friend :)

[visualdosage]

Damn dude, most 2D unity tutorials showcase games that look like they were made in flash, in comes this guy with a game that looks on par with Limbo, great job man!

[bryanbarajas]

It would be awesome if you show us how you handle scene switching 🔥

Thanks a lot man!

[blackheartgaming]

7:20 Spent 60min trying to find out how to get the script imported to apply it. Read replies for solution.

[yusrighouse]

Great tutorial man. I've been learning Unity via a coursera specialization over the last 4 months. Still not even half done, but got a lot of the basics down. Your video here is really great because I want to make a super simple 1 level platformer in 60 min as practice and what your video really helps with is with figuring out a workflow and how NOT to reinvent the wheel. Thanks and subbed!
