Naked C#
A Beginner's Guide to Coding

Hi, welcome to game development. I would recommend you buy and follow this course (it's only €11 on sale) : https://www.udemy.com/course/naked_cs/. I'm not affiliated with udemy or the instructor BTW. After that you can select another course that gets more into building games. There are other ways to build games without coding by using visual development tools such as "Playmaker" and the latest plugin "Ludiq Bolt". There's plenty of tutorials, discord channels and forums. After that, I would recommend you clone an existing game and see it through to the end from title, options, game, sound, music, etc. Do that before creating your own game, finish it even if bored or have a million other ideas as you're developing it. The biggest problem of game development is never finishing projects. It'll be tough the first month but then you'll start making progress and everything will get familiar. Good luck!

It’s best to put unity (or any other engine) aside for a while, at least to learn the basics. It will be much easier and faster.
I understand the excitement and desire to create a game, but if you really want to understand and learn how to code try to put the excitement of making a game in pausing for at least two weeks and channel it to learn the language.
you can keep thinking and having ideas for your game, but stay focused on learning the basics of the language without an engine interference

mMy recommendations:

Read this book like a novel, it is free http://www.csharpcourse.com/

After that, having a base and feeling more comfortable you can start to learning the unity API

Her Unity/coding courses seems pretty good, she seems to actually explain stuff and not just show, although I haven't taken any of her courses yet: https://www.udemy.com/user/holistic3d/

If you plan in learning 3D, this is a great start: https://stylizedstation.com/article/blender-tutorial-bible/

​

For Game Design, read The Art of Game Design, there are some others out there too, like Game Feel: A Game Designer's Guide to Virtual Sensation or Game Design Workshop.

I would also check out the GDC videos in their channels, they've got playlists for all the categories, including Game Design, lots of stuff to learn there.

​

You will also have to learn Marketing, Music composition and SFX, Web Development, and a bunch of other stuff if you plan on making all by your own. I'm doing the same thing as a you, good luck!
