Yeah – i never intended to suggest the sample video was something WE were developing.

i’m somewhere around chapter 4 of the book. So far, so good.

I don’t believe that was Untold’s game development. Just a link to someone else’s stuff.

Ryan, how far have you gotten through the book? Brennon, what do you think?

Hey Ryan,

I ordered the book, and it arrived yesterday. So far I’m ~130 pages through, and it’s not bad. Congrats to Will for making the first Unity book!
I saw that video a few days ago on youtube, that was you guys?! You really need to make an UntoldEnt spash screen in the video to spread the word.
I’ve started my 1st Unity game, and so far I’m loving Unity.
Looking forward to seeing more development and tuts.

Same problem with both the 2D and 3d platformers. The 3d platformer is 150+ pages and doesnt work until you go through the tutorial, coupled with the fact of not knowing the basics… its really bad.

Evac city, its 2d but its written for noobs and you will at least get the basics.

Book Burner – care to list the tutorials that helped you the most? (i, for one, had no use for the 3D Platformer tutorial as a first step)

Well I found the tutorials where enough to get going. I suppose a book could be a good idea…
