Thank you so much for making these videos, they have helped me so much learn to pursue my dreams of being a game developer! They're super easy to understand and the things you go over are very exciting to learn about!

So I have been following Brackeys for 18 months now and I started with no knowledge at all. I feel like I can do anything, just released my first 2D game called "Doodle Trump" to the playstore, with level design, advertising integration (minimal ads), physics, mobile controls, UI, list goes on forever. This channel is fantastic and worth going through each an every video like I did.

Its rare to find tutorials that are so clean and understandable. Keep doing what your doing because its awesome

I've been going through this and it's super helpful, but it's too fast! I can only follow along so quickly and I find myself having to rewind to copy your coding or follow your cursor over and over.

I managed to be from a noob at Unity to actual okay, which is something big, cause it takes me forever for new stuff to get inside my head! Thanks a lot man!

By Calvin Bastian on 11/1/2017

Honestly, thank you so much! Your explanation is quick enough to get the gist of it, but thorough enough for beginners to understand! Again, thank you so much!

I'm an experienced developer (business apps) learning Unity and have been very frustrated by the extremely poor quality of tutorials out there. This is very clear, simple, and very very practical. Thank you!!!

Probably the best tutorial I have seen in ages. Fast, to the point and no confusion.
