Anyone else think it's funny that Unity is available for possibly free of charge yet Microsoft office is almost $140

FINALLY!!! I found a guy who actually knows what hes doing instead of annoying little fucking kids who decide to make tutorials. Thank you so much man you helped me a lot.

This is perhaps the best learning series that I have encountered, including much of Digital Tutors and elsewhere. You are a natural instructor. I'm a Thesis Animation professor in NYC and really enjoy your fluid teaching style. You not only explain the code as you create it, you give the layman's explanation as well (for instance when troubleshooting the upDownRange for the camera). Great for a new coder like me.

If you're ever in NYC, beers on me!

"maybe I'll edit this part out afterwards"
guess not

I just watched this tutorial for the first time today quill. I've used Blender for two years now, and I just starting learning how to use Unity within the past few months. I never thought about making the rooms or dungeon the way you did - seems a lot easier than I've learned in other tutorials. I'll have to follow the other tutorials for this playlist - I need to learn a little about scripting, and I'd love to learn how the fps controller works anyway.

When you're giving back to people this much you can wear whatever you want. Great tutorial. Great Fedora. Thanks for this.

For those of you with no experience with Blender etc - try just using cubes from unity itself to make your level:
1) make a cube and add a box collider. Move it off to the side somewhere.
2)Duplicate cube with Ctrl+ D and scale it wide and flat for the floor. the collider shape should adjust along with it.
3)Duplicate original cube again and again whilst stretch/scaling it to form walls.
4) To keep these all together, create an empty game object, call it 'level' or something, and parent all your cubes to it.

This should be a lot simpler than trying to learn a 3d program from scratch just for this tutorial. Hoewever *DISCLAIMER* I havent watched the rest of the video tutorials yet so this may cause issues later on when it comes to lighting and shadows etc that do require the solid blender model.

"I wanna make the best game of history. I have no idea of coding, design, modelling or composing, but I usually have good ideas B)

I'm looking for a team of 40 people with A++ skills to do everything while I sit back and have cool ideas. I will not pay you."

Wow, this takes me back. Possibly the first Unity/Blender tutorial I ever followed. I forgot the name of this channel and haven't checked it out in years, but I'm subscribed now...

Waiting around at 11;35 so thought I'd leave a comment.

[Zakru]

Weeeeird, YT just recommended this video to me. I remember watching it years ago!

[Twinji]

Man, so many people requesting for programmers and artists, to make zombie first person shooters and horror games... Well, good luck to you all. :)

[ModeratelyInsane]

I made a small fps game with Unity for a uni course and I found this tutorial extremely helpful. Very insightful stuff, good presentation, thanks a ton.

[darkking]

Its kinda hard when i am new to blender and i don't know the keys shortcuts..

[enment]

I like this tutorial but the blender part seriously makes me want to rip my head off...

[Broinabrokencountry]

This is probably the single most helpful beginner's tutorial I've encountered yet.  Thanks!

[JackInns]

Could I use Unity to create the map instead of blender?

[DanKetchum]

I've played around with 3d graphics stuff (Poser, Vue and such) for years, but never tried a game because I assumed it would be way too complicated for me. You do a nice job of explaining this and I just might give it a shot. Thanks.

quill18creates, it appears that you are either a natural teacher or spent some time learning how to teach. Kudos, sir, on superb tutorial skills! I *love* that you not only show your (educational) mistakes, but that you also explain, clearly, what happened. This earned you at least one more subscriber.
