Hey Guys,
I’m having many good ideas of what kind of tutorials you could do!
1.) I think many of the guys in your forums would like to develop for mobile devices, and in my opinion the most good Games in the Appstore are 2D-Games. You do the most money out of doing Multiplayer-Games, and theres no real reference on how you can really do a good multiplayer, because it’s much complicated. It would be so nice, if there was ONE place you could take all your infos, code and experience from. The next thing is: Touch Controls for mobile devices. And I dont mean the standart Touch-Input, I mean things like gestures, pinch to zoom, swipe etc., how you can use Gyroscopes/Accelerators of different devices like iPhones and Android-Phones, to have ONE code, and to really do a Multi-Platform-Game.
2.) I would like to learn how I can link a Database into my Unity Game. I would love to be able to program a game interface, where people can login into my game with username and password, in which they have their own Gaming-Profile, where you can store things like different world-rankings, but also items or skins, currency in the game, achievements, a message-system to chat with other people and so on, these little things are those things good Games really need to have!!! I would love to learn how I can do Item-Shop for different skins or weapons. You could do so much more when you had a Database instead of PlayerPrefs. You could achieve this with SQL-Databases and you would also need to learn a bit PHP, but I mean whats the Problem, PHP isn’t more complicated then C#.
3.) I would like to have a tutorial on a bit more complicated 2D Games, there is especially one Game I would like to know how to program it: Kami 2. Maybe it would be possible to put a tutorial for that game on the website. There is tons of standart “how to program a space invaders clone” or things like this, where you hit enemies with projectiles and so on, u can find those low-level tutorials everywhere on the internet. What I would want to have are some Game-Tutorials that u CAN’T find on any site.
If you had books on these three Chapters I would really pay good money for that, because this is what you need to really go pro and what you can’t find anywhere, or you can but u really need a big time effort.
I hope you release something really good in the future, because Unity has so much potential because it is multi platform. I love the way you do your tutorials and they are so much better then anything I’ve seen so far. But I think you could go a step further with Unity.
Many greetings from Germany,
Dario
