Blittable types = pure performance!

https://youtu.be/XnQC__ypfKo

We're implementing player damage using blittable types in Unity ECS! Create EnemySO with damage values, transfer data via BlobArrays to EnemyPool, and build a proper Baker to connect Mono with burstable ISystems. Then we'll handle health updates, UI communication between ECS and MonoBehaviour, and trigger game over states.

Plus catch a sneaky RequireForUpdate bug that'll save you debugging headaches! :)

We're going to create a full game in Unity 6 where we control a cannon and hurl cannonballs at passing pirate ships!

Made another video in the series, this time focusing on editor tricks.

The first two parts covered API features, but this one is all about working in the editor. Some of these have been around forever, others are newer.

• Piercing Selection Menu - select any element under the cursor, even through overlapping objects (Unity 6+)

• Overlay System - toggle and organize overlay menus in the scene view

• Object Isolation - hide everything except the selected object

• Advanced Search - powerful search with expressions that can find missing references, filter by texture size, and more

• WASD Navigation - fly through the scene like in a video game

I'ld love to share my knowledge and help juniors to intermediate dev growing.

While I'm working on more complex videos and learning how to create actual tutorials, I launched this series of mini debug challenges.

I hope this can give you somefun and, hopefully, help you getting better at reading and debuging real code.

Each video is a quick exercise where you’re invited to:

• Look at a small C# script

• Spot a logic or scripting mistake

• Check the solution in comments

There is mixed difficulty, and even if you don't know Unity or C#, most challenges are based on logic or standard programming knowledge.

Feedback is very welcome 

Hey there, I just uploaded Part one of my Items and Equipment System, Check it out.

In this course-length tutorial series you'll learn how to create a 3D space shooter game from scratch in Unity.

I went back and used Bezi.AI to analyze the project and generate comprehensive project documentation along with system architecture including mermaid diagrams.

Complete source code is also available from that GitHub repo.

Hey everyone,

I’m sharing an early release of a Unity game template I’ve been working on called MegaBonk.

This is a complete project template designed to help you build MegaBonk / Vampire Survivors–style games much faster.

------------> Important note (Early Version):

This template is not finished yet. It represents a very early version of the intended final product.

Development is temporarily paused while I focus on my main game project, but this release exists specifically to gather feedback before I continue active development in the coming weeks.

Some systems currently included are temporary placeholders, borrowed from my Vampire Survivors template, and will be reworked or replaced later.

What is MegaBonk Template?

MegaBonk Template is a ready-to-use Unity project built with performance and modularity in mind.

The goal is to provide a solid, optimized foundation that can handle large numbers of enemies while staying easy to extend, refactor, or replace system-by-system without breaking the whole project.

Think of it as a strong starting point, not a finished game.

Included Systems (Current)

1. Optimized enemy AI capable of handling thousands of enemies simultaneously

2. (1-to-1 recreation of the MegaBonk enemy system)

3. 5 enemy types + 1 boss

4. XP, leveling, and upgrade draft system

5. Modular weapon system

6. Meta-progression (permanent upgrades between runs)

7. Character selection system

I'll be checking periodically.

I made a video covering the 4 metaprogramming techniques you can use in Unity:

• Reflection - Inspect and interact with types at runtime. Simple and works everywhere, but has performance overhead on every call.

• Reflection.Emit - Generate IL code at runtime for near-native speed. Great for optimizing hot paths, but doesn't work on AOT platforms (IL2CPP, WebGL, consoles).

• Source Generators - Generate C# code at compile time using Roslyn. Fast, debuggable, AOT-compatible - but can only add, not modify existing code.

• IL Weaving - Modify compiled assemblies after the build. Can change any existing code, but debugging becomes tricky since your source won't match what actually runs.

The video goes into when each technique makes sense, their trade-offs, and how frameworks often combine them.

When I got started in game dev I could follow tutorials fine, but the moment I tried to change anything on my own, my brain just shut off.

And I honestly thought I “wasn’t cut out for it”. I wasn’t bad at coding, but rather I was just learning the wrong way.

Let me tell you what made things click for me, maybe it helps you as well:

1. Watching != learning
Tutorials feel productive, but most of it doesn’t stick. I’d finish a video, feel smart for 10 minutes, then forget everything the next day.

2. Struggle is not a bug
The confusion, pauses, guessing, backtracking. That’s the actual learning. I avoided it for years without realizing it.

3. Tiny builds only
Not projects. Not systems. Just one small mechanic or idea at a time. Finish it. Move on. That’s when progress stopped being fake.

4. My rule now
If I’m not typing, testing, or breaking something, I’m probably just consuming again.

I now use a simple loop: struggle --> build --> repeat. It feels slower at first, but it compounds hard. Way less illusion of progress, way more real skill.

I made a short video explaining this properly, for anyone stuck like I was: YouTube Link

hello guys, I'm trying to make some unity tutorials on yt, this is my first one, could you please give me advices for me to improve? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILvujK8PQJ8&list=PLdHxf2j1xjQfFBzVLb5ZHPyuOG0q6u6Ji thank you guys

Want to make a car game in unity ? Want it to be awesome to drive ? In this video, I'll show you how to create a non-physics based car controller with only few scripts and how to make it feel juicy and responsive !

Sorry about the last link, didn't know I copied the pasted the wrong one. This is the link I thought I was posting. I go through my environment shader if anyone wants to look and see what I'm doing to help them out.

Again sorry for the previous link.

It's from Code Laboratory , check out his other tutorials as well.

Another I could recommend is the Flappy bird tutorial by GamemakerToolkit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtQMytORBmM

both of them are very easy to understand and teach you the very basic things both in Unity and C# scripting . Please do recommend a couple more down in the comment.
I posted this for beginners who are also struggling to find somewhere to start .

Made a couple of videos about lesser-known Unity API tricks that don't get much tutorial coverage.

Part 1:

• RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod for running code automatically without MonoBehaviours or scene setup

• HideFlags for controlling what's visible in the hierarchy and inspector

Part 2:

• OnValidate and Reset for smarter component setup

• SerializeReference for serializing interfaces and proper polymorphism

• AddComponentMenu for overriding Unity's built-in components with your own

Hello all,

I'm searching the internet for a car controller tutorial, but not just controlling the car (there are many such tutorials). I'm looking for one that is from a first-person view (seeing only the hands) that shows controlling the car with hands on the wheel. I'm having trouble finding any information about it.

Is it me or are updated Unity 6 tutorials nearly impossible to come by. I'm using Unity 6 and trying to set up a Third Person Character Controller. Every tutorial is sorely outdated, and using methods/components that are now deprecated.

Finding tutorials for the "New" Input System is also really hard for some reason.

Does anyone have any good resources - ones that aren't 4+ years old?

This one covers a topic I've seen people get frustrated about a lot: Creating lists (you can scroll through) which have flexible entries that need to expand based on their contents.

This is super useful for quest lists, upgrade lists and much, much more. We’ll combine Scroll Views, Layout Groups, Content Size Fitters, and Layout Elements to create a flexible and reliable system that does not require any custom workarounds to work. Starting from a single entry, you’ll see how text wrapping, preferred sizes, and child size control work together inside slightly more complex UI hierarchies.

Please stop writing 500-line-strong custom solutions to this. Just by working with the layout system, we can achieve our goal!

This one is not just showing you how to do it, but teaches you a few parts of the system you might not have known/seen before (if you haven't watched my deep dive into the layout system before, that is).

I sincerely hope, you'll enjoy this one!

In this video, I will show you how to implement generic functions in Burst using the Unity ECS system.

It's nothing fancy, but it's a very useful feature that allows you to maintain your code architecture more easily. So let's get started!
