Hi everyone! Someone pointed out to me that Unreal Engine changed their policy in 2020, meaning that you can now use their engine for free up until you earn your first $1.000.000 (earnings doesn’t reset yearly like Unity do) After that they take the 5% cut 🙂 This still means that Unreal Engine gets much more expensive than Unity if you use it in a larger professional capacity, but for smaller indie developers it makes it a lot more appealing. 🙂 But again… pricing is just a small part of choosing between Unity and Unreal at this point, since smaller developers will essentially be able to make games for free in both engines. I recommend looking up comparison articles between the two engines if you are curious about Unreal vs Unity. 🙂 Currently, most comparisons will tell you that Unreal has an slight edge when it comes to graphics, but Unity has a big edge when it comes to “beginner friendliness” and multiple platforms support. The only “hard advice” I have for you, is to start with Unity if you are completely new to game development. Sure… Some people will tell you they started with Unreal Engine, however I can promise you that the learning curve is a lot harder than when choosing Unity. 🙂 So you essentially just “pick what suits you”. Both engines are capable of making stunning looking AAA games and both are used by professional developers today. Also, just to let you all know, I am planning on making tutorials again, but it is at my own pace which means there isn't going to be a fixed upload schedule. 🙂 I took a break from making tutorials a while back because I felt my subscribers had taken control over the channel, so now that I have taken back control 💪 I will be uploading whatever content I wish at whatever time I please. 😉 But just to clarify, I do have a dream to start on a Unity series, so that's what this video is the start to (at my own pace of course).
@@KeysOfPerfection I had it pinned originally, but it seems that it gets unpinned if you edit it. 🙂 I pinned it again just now, thanks for letting me know.
Hi Dani, I always thank you your Great tutorial for Newbies. I have a Question. Where can I find the material in this tutorial. It is not easy to find the download link. Can you give an answer?
This tutorial doesn’t have any material since it is just a “how to setup Unity” video 🙂 Once there is actually material to share, I will put it in the download link at the bottom of the description.
Self taught starting 4 years ago 🙂 I started out by taking a online course in C#, and then read the Unity documentation to learn how to get started with game dev.
I really appreciate it! just to let people know, it threw an 'installed with errors' on me after trying to install visual studio, and it was saying that VS install failed. However simply rebooting like you suggested later was all it needed to do.
Hi, I recently followed you're tutorial and I found it to be very helpful! Usually, when I follow these types of tutorials, I almost always manage to fuck something up. But this time was different, liked and subbed.
I don't understand why my computer never shows the same process as any how to install software. From beginning to end it's all different. Gives me a headache.
I would love to try this, but unfortunately after 3 hours of installing, reinstalling, looking for solutions, trying everything suggested online, in unity forums, in reddit, in other forums, I can/t seem to install the editor application, I always no matter what I do have an installation error that says install failed: validation failed. I think I will try unreal then...
hey man so i have installed the version that i wanted then i clicked install it installed and has been Editor application installing screen for days now....... do you know how to fix this?
@Dani Krossing How do you fix the "could not be opened. Please check the logs" error? I keep getting this error whenever I try to create a project, I keep getting this infuriating error. I've reinstalled Unity Hub so many times already.
If I use the free, or personal version of unity to be specific, can I publish games with it freely? Or do I have to pay for stuff to freely publish them?
You can publish games freely.🙂 There are only two major downsides to not getting the paid version. You will have a Unity splash screen at the start of your game that says “made in Unity”. And if you plan on making A LOT of money on your games, then you will have to get the paid version if you make above a certain amount during a 3 month period. The amount you are allowed to make for free is on the Unity website, and I remember it being quite a lot you are allowed to earn before having to get the paid version. So basically, you can publish as many games as you want, if they are all free and you don’t earn anything on them. 🙂
Dani Krossing tutorials are addictive and easy to follow through. A lot of People (including yours truly) have learnt and acquired new skills thanks to his simple and professional tutorial videos. Thank you @Dani.
The design of Unity Hub has changed slightly, but the buttons and tabs are the same. I checked it 2 weeks ago when one other person had trouble navigating the new design. I can understand how learning a technical skill can be frustrating, especially when things gets updated and changed, but try not to get flabbergasted when it doesn't look 100% identical. 🙂
Hey, at the timestamp 11:00, where you say link VS to Unity, the three dropdowns on your screen that say Debug, Any CPU, and Attach to Unity are different on mine. The first two dropdowns are blank, nothing there, and the third one just says "Attach" What a I doing wrong
I have an issue here guys. Whem I downloaded the Editor application after signing in, it keeps failing. It says that there's a "validation error", so I restarted the download and now the loading is taking forever. Can someone please help me?
whenever I open unity i get a message saying "Unity is running with administrator privileges, which is not supported" I get two options down below one being "restart unity as standard user". When I click that it just pops up again.. any idea how to bypass this?
I just downloaded unity and to be honest it seems a little complicated. Your video is great but it's little old n now I'm seeing completely different interface for unity!! Gdevelop was far easier than this 😔
@@Dani_Krossing no sir, unity is looking completely different right now. It does look like in your video at all. I can't even understand what to do here at all & i haven't even started a project yet
@@Artistic_Game_Developer After seeing your reply I decided to update everything on my PC. Both Unity Hub as well as Unity to the latest version, so I could compare the one in the video with the newest versions. 🙂 In Unity Hub the colors have gotten darker, the "Installs" tab has been moved up under "Projects", and when you create a "New Project" they just made everything into a horizontal list instead of big buttons. Just make sure you click "All Templates" on the left when creating a new project, if you can't see the 2D and 3D templates. 💁 But these changes aren't "completely different"..? It's just a minor UI overhaul hehe. 🙂 Everything is in the exact same place as in my video. I can definitely understand how it can feel overwhelming and throw you off when you are learning a new skill like game dev, and the guides that you watch are slightly different. But honestly, Unity hasn't really changed in any meaningful way which should make you think my video is outdated. 🤨 The minor changes I listed, shouldn't throw you off to the point where you can't figure out how to start a new project. I haven't used Gdevelop before, but I think the real issue here is that you are used to a much simpler game engine, and because you are now jumping to something slightly more complex, it overwhelms you quite a bit. My best advice is to just follow the lessons one at a time, and try to keep an open mind. Unity is considered one of the easiest game engines to get into, and really isn't that hard to learn. 🙂
Hey it’s asking me about windows command processor and if I wana allow it to make changes to my device and I’m just asking if that normal as I’m kinda paranoid with a new computer
Hello just one question, when im creating a account i click the link to confirm email but it expires even though it says that it will only expire after 15 days , how do i fix this?
for some reason i cant seem to find the preferences when i go to edit where it usually is so i cant fully install visual scripter so i dont know if i can continue btw im on mac so any suggestions will help
so i tried making a game once then i gave up then i deleted unity but when i want to dowanlod it again it sais install failled editor application keeps failing pls somone help
Hi Dani, nice tutorial and video, but I have one question regarding the IDE! Visual Studio is a nightmare on low ram users (8gb or less), so instead can I use Visual Studio Code? If yes, do I have all the functionality I need for unity?
@@Dani_Krossing It's working perfectly, VSC don't have "Attach to unity" but I don't have problems using it! Intellisense is based on "using unity.engine;" no?
@@uniquescience7047 I had no problems using it, only with the new input system, but besides that, no problems. Intellisense is the code completion tool, you write "vel" and the intellisense suggest you "velocity", the you press tab and it autocompletes PS: I'm not an expert, so maybe research what Intellisense is
Do you need to connect it to Visual Studio? What if making something very basic just to learn? What exactly is connecting to Visual Studio doing for us? Thanks
While I am thankful for this run through, has anyone seen a video which explains how Unity can be installed across a computer lab with a single Organisation license where students only have limited security clearance / permissions. Unity makes it very easy for admin s by not publishing tha much documentation on the matter.
sorry but I have a problem when I create a project unity doesn't create a folder and I end up with an error message "project name" could not be opened. Please check the logs. I checked the logs and it said that the project does not actually exist on the pc please help
i dont see the regenerate files thing, you just hover over the thing and it suddenly changed. it looks like it looked like before you make it change somehow
i used vs 2022 instead of 2019 and i cant find attach to unity did i do something or is it already done also do i need any workloads on vs for unity to work
I haven’t needed to use that button in order for it to work in the 2022 version. 🙂 just make sure you select VS as the default editor inside unitys settings, and it should work.
Unity's website probably has a more detailed explanation of it, but here is how I understand their terms... If you make money off anything you create in Unity, then it counts towards your cap on when you need to pay royalty. And with the same logic, if you make a game that you set as free, and everyone on earth downloads it, you don't need to pay royalty since you didn't make money off of it.
