I'm pretty okay with lkingnight.
Tutorial on unity learn are really great.
If you want to create 2d game, I specially recommend you download, try and watch the code of "Unity Projects: 2D Platformer".
With Unity, you only have to understand some concepts (like components, gameobject, prefab, ...) and you can do anything you want.
Hello,
I recently tried gamemaker studio and I was able to make a 2d game on it. I was a complete novice to game making meaning no coding experience, no art experience, no nothing. It is rather easy to use if i was able to figure out and make a casual game. Thus, I support the suggestion to try gamemaker studio, you can get a free version off steam that will allow only 5 objects but can give you a sneak peak.
I am currently attempting to learn Unity now . . . the best tutorials for unity are the ones that are made for your brain. How do you know which ones are made for your brain? Keep googling them till you find one that works, the official unity website is excellent though.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Cryomatrix
But for programmers working alone who want to learn to program, Unity almost does too much for you.
Very true and nicely said frob. If you're goal is to learn to program, I too recommend messing directly with C# before jumping into Unity because it will spoil you. :) It reminds me of learning the fundamental theorem of calculus before learning about the Power Rule.
