Question by RocknWizard · Feb 15, 2016 at 04:10 PM · c#unity 5

Where do I start? So intimidating :(

Ok, so I'm COMPLETELY new to the unity engine. It looks very intimidating... I really don't know any of the basics like how to get into code view or anything, don't even know what most of the basics are... So, being a complete newbie to Unity and game creating as a whole, can someone please help me? Whether that be by refering me to a very in depth video, forums or anything. I just, dont know where to start. I think I want to make my first game in C#. Here is the kinda game I kinda wanna make.

I just, dont know where to start. I think I want to make my first game in C#. Here is the kinda game I kinda wanna make.

Ideas:

  1. Has a Fight button that if clicked takes you into turn based combat.

  2. Combat would be like old school final fantasy style (turn based, simple graphics)

  3. Enemies would have 1 attack type while you'd have a basic attack and maaaybbe an ability.

  4. At the end of the fight, if you win, you get gold, which can be built up, you then return to the fight screen.

I think its pretty basic... For graphics, all I'd need is a terrain for the sprites to rest on, maybe 3 enemy types, 1 player sprite with attack animations (very simple) and that's about it. So basically a battle game very similar to old Final Fantasy games. I'm planning on learning C# to code this game. Overall, I guess I'm asking where to start. Where is a good place to learn C#, how can I learn to navigate the unity (personal edition) interface and figure out what it has to offer? I really hope someone can help me out cause I really wanna start making games but this is all really big and intimidating. Thanks so much in advance to anyone who helps.

i stopped reading after the first sentence.

not because i don't care about your ideas or that you want to make a game, but the best advice i can offer is to follow the tutorials in the learn section on this site. it'll give you a good intro to how to do various things with unity and should enable you to feel comfortable enough to make something yourself.

walk then run...

It seems that way because it IS big and intimidating.

Dont start out by trying to make the game you want. Do the tutorials in the Learn section and it will $$anonymous$$ch you all the skills you need to undertake a harder project.

Roll a ball tutorial is where most new people start out. It teaches both the basics of the engine and the basics of scripting in C#.
