I was curious about Unity and spent the day building a 3d game alongside his beginner's series. He is a great teacher

If you're new to Unity3D then they may be useful. Especially since they're non-technical usually. But as much as I see them pop up on the front of my YouTube page I've not seen one useful or beneficial to me.

If I would not be so lazy I probably watch all those videos and make all those games by myself and then my skill in Unity would go +100. I really recommend his videos to you no matter if you are a beginner or an advanced unity user!

I suspect this opinion will not be very popular but I do not think his tutorials are good.
His videos are more-like bite-sized, fast track info-dumps and will not teach you good concepts, but quick, usually not the best methods of achieving things.
For me, tutorials that go into considerable depth of the how and why, while really exploring the ideas they are teaching are the best for learning.

For 1 year I've been studying unity from your tutorials and a few others. I managed to create my first game and I'm very greatful that people like your are doing this awesome tutorials for noobs like us.

Please Brackeys, either update your example code files, or make a new set of tutorials. It is just way too hard to follow along on a video with very old code. I love your tutorials, but they are not really helpful when they are out of date.

I've been trying to find a decent tutorial on game development and I think I finally found it. You have a nice voice, there's a very friendly atmosphere and I like how you actually teach how things work.

Thank you. I have been trying to start figuring out how to make a game and you finally opened up my eyes to something awesome.

If you are a beginner , I would recommend Brackeys Tutorials for you. They are just great for beginners to Intermediate.

This is where I started learning Unity, back in 2013. You're vids helped me learn a lot about Unity.
By Dat Pelks on 8/25/2014
