Not sure if i posted it here correctly, but i found a great simple step-by-step tutorial on creating a complete game. It teaches all the basics, very simple. They`re quite old and it was made in Unity 2.6, but it should help you a long way in to your own game

Anyway, they`re all on youtube, if you follow this link:

I am not all that familiar with Unity, but have had passing interests in making something with it before. How long ago is that version, and do you know roughly how different it is now?

Regardless, great find and it will be useful even if the engine is 100% different now, because making games is making games.

The series was recorded at november `09 and i know that somwhere in November `10 they upgraded to 3.0 so I doubt much will have changed. Even if the engine was changed, I doubt the interface has, or the script function names. I believe it will be a good resource, changes won`t be that big, and there`s a corresponding website with free resources to create an duplicate of the game.

The game itself is a simple shooter, a worm has to beat levels, but hey, a game is a game! And besides, it teaches how to create game menu`s et cetera. When I have time, i`ll start following them and update you if it works OK. But as far as i`ve seen, it`s all looking good!

I followed some of that tutorial late last year I think, and it worked. It's a pretty basic tute, so they don't do much thats terribly complicated.

I found this even shorter tutorial to make a pong variant here, that worked as well: http://rockpapershotgun.com/rpsforum/topic.php?id=1436

For someone familiar with game development, I would assume learning to work in the environment and with the engine specifics would be much more valuable than the game contents itself, anyway, regardless of the complexity of the game!

Thank you both for the links!

A 243-part (so far) tutorial on making a hack-and-slash rpg from scratch

He also has community challenges where he posts an idea for a game, lets everyone work on it, then shows how he would do it. So far he did a 7-part challenge showing how to make a Breakout-type game and is working on a Frogger-type game for the next challenge.

Plus tutorials on Blender and lots of other stuff.

Wow, that`s awesome! I`m definitely going to check that one out too. Thanks for the awesome tip, much appreciated.

Jeebus! I don't even understand how people can stick to making a tutorial series that long lol. That is awesome, though!

Unity is incredibly simple. Easiest engine out there. Lunchbox and I were talking about that today. If Unity had a good network and a few other fixes it would be unbeatable.
