This was strangely more useful and engaging than most tutorials. I am amazed

Brackeys, your videos are excellent. I've learned so much over the last year and a half and I can't thank you enough. It's because of you I regained confidence and I'm content with where I stand today as a Unity Developer. Please continue these, I REALLY appreciate your efforts!

Thanks for the awesome tutorial Brackeys.
 I've had my whole development team watch this one in order to prep for the switch to Unity 5. 

You're always a huge help!

I think you should be given the award for best tutorials on the web (if such an award exists).  I learn more here than I did in college, thanks man!

Thanks, I was wondering what is new about the new unity. I was surprised to see the new get component for the rigidbody being added back. This 1 hour video was totally worth my time.

[eweeparker]

great to see that you're still making videos man! You really helped me get going with Unity a while back.You have a great style of teaching and thanks for everything.

Thank you for this tutorial, which i find so thorough, clear and easy to follow. I am brand new to Unity3D but not to 3D software. I am so inspired by your demonstrations.

Fast paced. Great Content. Awesome for a Beginner and Intermediate! Keep up the great work Brackeys!

[brandonblitz]

This video alone has helped me out so much with Unity 5, so sincerely, thank you! :D

[rowenhenderson]

watched from start to finish - loved it all!

*_Super effective!_*
Mad props for you, man. Really nailed the basics.
:D

[shayaltshue]

Awesome man! I was getting lost with all the new features and changes. This really helps!

[phaesantodd]

Very useful information, but i'm convinced it would have been better for both you and your viewers if this was split up in 4 distinct videos. Anyway thanks for your videos, you're awesome!

I wish Brackey's could make a unity 5.1 tutorial like this. The FPS is amazing on it and there is so many added features but not much documentation on how to use it, especially videos.

[TheBallzackz]

Awesome Unity 5 tutorial! Keep it up, man!

gamerpaddy Y up/down, X left/right and Z depth is how it's usually done in math, that's why. 

[Mixthelightintogray]

Thank you. I was looking for something like this. Very interesting, thank you again!

Hi everyone,  
i'm 51 years old. 
It is just amazing how technology has progressed in the last few decades. 
My first computer was a commodore VIC-20 with 5KB of ram (expandable to 32KB).
The community and their 'tinkering' gave you the possibility to solder on an unheard of 1MB of RAM. 
So I had 2 wires coming out of my VIC-20 with a little 1MB chip dangling off the end. 

A couple (3.5) of decades later:

My computer today:
32 GIGAbytes of RAM compared to 1MB.
SSDs compared to audio tapes which were used to store your bits and bytes, taking note of the tape counter to find the beginning of your programm. 
Photo realistic world's compared to 'pong', one of the first home games with 3 sprites (a ball and 2 paddles). 
Engines today are really mind blowing considering the short amount of time it has taken to go from two paddles and a ball to flowers that blow and sway in the wind while the sun is shining emmisively through the leaves. 

Upps, lost track,  
What I wanted to say is that i have watched many inciteful videos on all subjects pertaining to 2D/3D graphic arts.
 
You Brackeys!  have done a fantastic job and I enjoyed every second. 
Extremely helpful, very clear and one cannot but notice the passion that you guys(gals) have. 


Just think about it, everyone on this planet that has a 'smartphone' in their pocket has access to all of mankinds knowledge, except for the little tidbits that we are not privy to!
