Hello and welcome, I am your Code Monkey and here you will learn everything about Game Development in Unity 2D using C#.

I've been developing games for several years with 7 published games on Steam and now I'm sharing my knowledge to help you on your own game development journey.

Thanks for tutorial, but I cant understand some things: you used the interface, but didn't show, how to implement it's methods in this exact situation. I struggled to do it myself, but it didn't work out. So, please, can you explain how and where should I implement GetPosition, SetPosition, GetGoldAmount and SetGoldAmmount?

Who doesn't love the monkey?!? Thanks, I needed the bit checking for the saved preference key.

I was expecting a try catch block. This was so simple!

Hi, I have two questions:
- does the saving and loading work on Android games?
- How would you store a list or array in playerprefs?

Thanks

[LeeG]

Thank you Code Monkey! You helped me a lot!

[valrossenOliver]

Would you say (in the case of Unity) it would be better to save in a local file or the registry?

We used this tutorial to make our first game "Rebound Out", just released on iOS and Android!

[Abhijeet]

Hi bro, you are making very use full videos

[owengold]

Hi, just a quick question:

Still pretty new to Unity, if you repeatedly saved data such as locations and gold, could it start taking up space on a computer? Or does it overwrite the previous save with every new save? And if it does, is there a way to overwrite the previous save, or will it just keep making new saves?
Thanks!

Very nice video sir. shows good level in programming. 1 question here: does CMDebug make the text of player position move upwards or you configured that elsewere?

[ashkannasirzadeh]

a complete and perfect explanations, tnx

[stuurio]

yeah im late and using wrong account:D but does it work normally if i use ä or ö in the playerprefs name or the " " part where you put the name of the prefs?

[ThatOneRobloxDev]

Its the simplest way, but PlayerPrefs saves to the rigistry, like the BinaryFormatter, its kinda a security risk... Other than that, its great!

[Paanch_Tanmatra_Studio]

Amazing tutorial.
I also have a save system playlist series.
It covers from player-pref to Firebase.
I am currently editing the video with NodeJS as the back-end server for saving data.
Any feedback on it will be really helpful.

hi there i have a problem
when i do all the steps you did for the first 1:37 my console says that i am missing a reference to instance of an object
is it possible to fix this somehow

[Zukomazi]

What do you add the GameObject to and all that, 3:02 Your skipping a very big step? I don;t understand how you say begginers but skip major steps, not to be rude.
