New User - Tutorials Question

[xIPhobiaIx]

Hello All,

I am just downloaded Playmaker and I see the introduction tutorials on the "Tutorials" section of the site are from 2012. Are they still a good start?

My end goal is to make either a 2D or 2.5D platformer but need to know the basics first.

Any opinions on this would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

The YouTube tutorials (also from 2012) are where I started out about 2 years ago, there were parts that were a bit dated (just simple things in Unity that are a bit more streamlined now), and you'll need to find your own assets (there are plenty of free ones on the Unity Asset store), but overall the concepts of PlayMaker and coding haven't changed, so they're very helpful and they take you through everything at a great pace.

I found it helpful to go through the tutorials and my own personal project simultaneously, constantly applying what I had just learned to a "real" problem. Good luck!

Hi.
Most are still viable, but itween is not included by default anymore.

But you can still get itween from the asset store and you get the actions from the welcome screen (i believe in addons)
