I always love how simple and flexible your tutorials are. I just integrated the principles of this tutorial into an existing, moderately complex scene/spawn point management system pretty much seamlessly.

[ChristianRuppelt]

I was looking for exactly that. After a quick google search I thought to myself. Maybe Brackeys has done this. Aaaand of course he has.

Man, I love you.

This video and the whole channel is simply incredible. Thank you so much! I'm having trouble seeing the fade-out animation with this method though. At the animation tab I can see that the fade-out animation is running, but it's just not happening on screen. Fade-in works like a charm. Thank you again, great stuff!

I love how brackeys can always read our minds about what tutorials we want.

[shang_psycho]

We still miss you! Good luck with whatever you're doing!

[AlexKDev]

You just blew my mind with those animation events... it simplifies things so much

[roger]

Finally! That's useful...now i'm ready to release my game...thank you for your tutorials <3

There's no need to have 2 Animations for Screen Fader, you can create only one Animation with alpha going down to 0 and in the Animator set the Animation speed to -1 for fading in effect.
Well, that's what I did in Easy Main Menu :P

hey so I have a question. What would you suggest is the best option for an artist who doesn't know anything about coding and would like to use blueprints for the making of a game. A game in a style somewhat similar to let's just say "Legend of zelda breath of the wild". What would you suggest is the best to approach this goal. Unity with playmaker or Unreal engine?

I always search brackeys and see if there are any new videos and get so happy when i see one Keep it up

[renemota]

Thanks, Brackey for your help with this tutorial because I'm new to Unity and I needed this fade for a title transition from the menu to the game

[echogames]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was looking for this for long, finally something that works perfectly!!

[GreySkies_OfTheDead]

okay that's just a lifesaver right here. And it gives so many possibilities !

[fyisic]

Very very nice tutorial. Straight to the point yet clear information on what and why. Always seem to learn something new about the software by your videos. Not just a new snippit of code.

[sirstroopwafel]

omg i just learned today that there's an "add event" feature in animations. I've been doing Unity for 4 years now and there are just still so much stuff to learn and discover

[djyork]

As always fantastic tutorials, maybe there are other tweaks as approaches to do this but no one explains this stuff as clearly and quickly, plus it ALWAYS works unlike most tutorials! Brilliant stuff thank you so much

[lilBernier]

Its great to see this video come out a few days AFTER I FOUND OUT HOW TO DO THIS

[AKSenor]

That is very helpful, thank you, good job! (in my case scenes will start with buttonclick from my scene-menu so I made little script modifikations; a few lines were commented out)

[whyhanlr]

It is really good to see your channel becoming huge
