Most of my tutorials I focus on assuming people already know some basics and I take opportunities to discuss some topics that come up a little later. Part of that is because the internet is already crawling with some really good tutorials for game development. I tend to focus on Unity at the moment and that is likely what the bulk of these tutorials I list here will focus on. If I stumble across tutorials for another engine or that are engine agnostic that are worthy I will try to include them.

Tutorials Floating in the Outside of Steemit

There are a tremendous amount of tutorials that can be found on the internet for game development. This is especially true if you are using Unity as your engine. Unity has an absolutely huge a prolific community. In the past I have mostly written tutorials. Now I will share with you some of the places you can look for other worthy tutorials and if the ones I have written have been skipping steps you need then you are welcome to try these on for size.

Official Unity Tutorials

Unity Technologies has quite a number of tutorials of its own. They are high quality and you can learn a lot. If you have not had a look at them here are some links to the current tutorials. (They will deprecate older tutorials as technology improves).

Roll-a-ball tutorial

Unity tutorial list simply says "New? Start here." with this one.

Space Shooter Tutorial

"Blast some asteroids!" - Unity short description of this tutorial says, "Expand your knowledge and experience of working with Unity by creating a simple top down arcade style shooter."

The goal of this tutorial is to create a 2 player tank game that players play using a shared keyboard.
"2-players, 1 keyboard, Tank vs Tank"

2D Roguelike tutorial

"Procedural level Survive-em-up! - Unity technologies says, "Learn how to make a 2D Roguelike game with this project."

Let's Try Assignments

"Learn to create single game mechanics" - Unity Technologies says, "In our Let's Try series of tutorials we explore popular game mechanics in standalone assignments. Instead of creating an entire game, we will focus on a single mechanic and the techniques needed to implement it."
Here are some of the listed sub-sections of this tutorial:

Shooting with Raycasts
"Angry Birds" style game
2D Catch Game
Couch Wars: Local Multiplayer Basics
Basic Platformer Game
Breakout style Game
Casual Jewel Mining Game

Let's Try Assignments

C# Scripting

This is a large sub-section to help you learn how to code in C#.
C# Scripting

Interface & Essentials

This is another large section that basically goes all over the interface. It takes what I did in one of my tutorials and takes it much further and in-depth.
Interface & Essentials

Best Practices

This a collection of quite a few different tips on best practices, and optimization.
Best Practices

2D Game Creation

Unity Technologies says, "Everything you need to start making 2D games in Unity."
2D Game Creation

Graphics

Unity technologies describes this section as "Everything for Lighting and Rendering in Unity." It has some pretty important information in it.
Graphics

Audio

This is similar to the graphics section but focuses on details on game audio, and also focuses on sound design.
Audio

User Interface (UI)

This section is quite important to likely every game. If you use Unity's UI system them this is what you will use to build menus, create buttons, put text on the screen and more.
User Interface(UI)

Animation

Unity Technologies describes this section as "Get things moving! All you need to start animating in Unity."
Animation

Multiplayer Networking

Unity Technologies says, "Learn to create Multiplayer Networked games with these Lessons and Assignments."
Multiplayer Networking

Physics

For this lesson the sub-title that Unity Technologies supplied is "Create some mechanical mayhem as you learn about Unity's physics options."
Physics

There are still more tutorials on the official site but, I thought the above were some of the better ones.

My Tutorials

I have made quite a few different Unity related tutorials. I know it can be difficult tracking them down sometimes on Steemit so I am going to link to them now. Some tutorials are simply informative and tips. Others involve code. I do not consider them on par with the Catlike Game tutorials above. Those are some truly wonderful tutorials.

@JG02 Tutorials

@JG02 has some great tutorials too. I edited my post to add links to his tutorials. If this is a topic you are interested in he appears to be someone you will likely want to follow. You can also up vote these too if you like them and did not see them before.

Some other Game Developer Tutorial Authors on Steemit

@quantumanomaly - Is using Game Maker Studio, which is a nice cool twist. :)

@funnyman - making a 2D game
@raymonjohnstone - makes dice and other gaming related posts and apps
@thegame - I believe still trying to turn steemit itself into a game. ;)

Some of my older related posts

I was writing the occasional gamedev related post prior to the ones I listed above. I have a few older posts I will reference here.

Conclusion

This post was written hopefully to provide access to materials to help people learn anything they might want that I skipped when writing tutorial posts here on Steemit. As you can see I took it a lot further than that and your learning opportunities should be far broader than they were before. I hope that a lot of game developers are born from these seeds. I want to play some of your games. I also want to increase the number of people out there in Steemit land that I can have technical conversations with on these subjects.

Steem On!
