That breakdown idea could be AMAZING! Please make it!

if your Player is moving faster diagonally, write:

rb.MovePosition(rb.position + movement.normalized * moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

in Fixed Update :)

Out of all the videos i've watched for top down animation, this is the simplest and most easiest to understand. Seriosly, it was apain releiver, thank you so much.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GAMES BEING BROKEN DOWN, EXPLAINED, AND COMPARED!

Thanks to you, my life took a direction. I had no idea which profession to choose, totally unmotivated with my college. I want to graduate, but I don't see myself working in the area (Electrical engineering). After watching your videos, I found myself in game development and that's what I've been doing as a hobby for some time. I've never been so happy and ambitious. Thank you so much for teaching us for free.

A simple way to flip the animation (For walking left):
In animation window, click add property -> sprite renderer -> flip x

I have to confess. I have watched hundreds of Brackeys videos. SO, I kept the video to play and tried to do it myself before this video finishes. And I DID!! Thank you so much for all this help. Yes you stopped YouTube, never means you don't exist. THANK YOU for everything!

[titaniawallace]

Thanks for uploading this, I was actually looking at some other YouTube videos and obscure articles trying to figure out this exact topic, this definitely made it easier

[MikeArcuri]

This was great! First time using blend trees and spritesheet animations in Unity, and I got it the first time with this lesson.

[ForciblySquished]

This was SO, SO HELPFUL! As someone with literally no coding knowledge, I thank you very much for making this so easy!

[dillonahchay]

Thank you so much for this guide, this is my first time using unity and c# programing and this guide made it easy to do, even with small inconviences with the newer software. keep making these as it helps more than you think, great work

[TheMaitreC]

Of course we would like to hear about how a specific feature of a game is made! Please do it Brackeys!

[matthewsterling]

I'm only 9 minutes in, and I've already managed to make the kind of movement type I was looking for! I was so sure that it was going to be more difficult then it was, I guess I have been using an outdated method because this was much simpler! I wanted the player to be able to move slowly too, (using an xbox controller for input) and all I had to change was it to GetAxis from GetAxisRaw! THANK YOU SO MUCH BRACKEYS!!!

[MalteJonasson]

I watched so many videos and spent so much time but this was the only video that actually helped me. Thank you very much

[evarofficial]

Ive been searchig this for a long time, watching different vídeos and then you come and find a easier way. How the hell you do it? I admire youuu!!!

[DannyMakesStuff]

Ive done a video about Forager like movement a while ago.
This video is a nice addition and as always I love your video!
Good work brackeys!

[luigi]

This channel inspires me to follow my dream to become a game developer. Thank you for your hard work!

[matiaspascual]

Great video. Thank you for making it so easy to see. Explains perfectly, straight to the point, and with humor. Well done!

[AI_Jones]

Thanks for the video Brackeys. I have a couple decently successful games which used your methods as a starting point and then expanded upon them. Your tutorials are legit.
