Brackeys: "but don't worry unity rarely changes things dramatically"

Unity: And I took that personally

[namrata]

This is a reminder for me once i become a game designer:
"Look at me now, i wanna make a game but i cant code, or think of any ideas or anything but hopefully 1 year from now, i will have my first ever game ready to go!"
~ Don't give up please ~

I'm learning how to do this so I can make my little sister's dream game.

Update: she turned 1 year old.

The scene saving is different if your doing this in 2021:

The scenes are in a folder in assets. You can save it there. You can save your project in the "file" section but you cant save the scenes in there. so to save a scene or create a new scene go to
assets>scenes>{right click} create>scene
Hope this helps!

This is such a good tutorial! It's not just teaching me how to make a simple game. It's teaching me the basics. Exactly what I wanted. 10/10 Will watch again. Much pog

[teefkiller]

[rep-vile]

Me: *Learns how to make a cube and color it on Unity*


My Brain: HOLY SHIT I'M A GOD! LET'S MAKE MINECRAFT 2

[Shadrake]

This was one of the best tutorials for anything I've ever seen. Short, clear, succint explanations for everything, going over foundational information, showing it in action, and explaining not just how to do it, but how it works.
Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to continue watching through this whole series!

[whitehawkjulie]

So dense with information - the only video on Youtube that I listen to on 1x speed, and then replay it over and over. It took me about 3 hours to get through this one ... Thanks Brackeys!!! Amazing work.

[irtizashayer]

really glad that there is a free version for us normies

[blenderguru]

Phenomenal tutorial mate. Love your style of teaching :) I've never used Unity, but I feel I at least know the basics now.

It was the summer of 2017. I was still in middle school. It was a summer morning as I was gonna go someplace later, but I had about 2 hours of the morning to myself. I had just learned about unity and c# coding, and this video was the one I was about to watch. I remember the peaceful morning and how great it was, as I was watching this video for the first time, with no knowledge of the adventure I was gonna have later in life with my game development journey. Last September, he said his goodbyes and that shook a lot of the game dev community. This is his most popular video, and the video that got me started making games. Man, I remember a recent time where I just sat and reminisced about the good times I had with my game dev journey, and what a privilege it was to grow into one of the best game-making versions of myself it was. Thank you, Asbjorn, for all the great times you gave your community. And to all the beginners out there, hang on, its gonna be one heck of a ride.

The lighting looks completely different (and crap) in the newer versions of unity! edit: found a fix, you have to go to Window > Rendering > Lighting settings, then tick the "auto generate lighting" box.


Edit: Brackeys shows later in the series to turn auto off, because it caused problems in older versions of unity, but for the first 7 or 8 episodes, he has auto on.
