I've been following S3 on youtube and coding along and just came on to steam to purchase it to add a little support really. I did a review also I think that is a good way to help.

I'm glad you think so, seeing as you've been "through the mill" I am thinking I should do a Minimum Viable Product just for the experience.

This is just awesome and I think taking the tutorial videos all the way will be incredibly valuable for "would-be" game developers.

The reason I am so passionate about GTGD S3 is because I intend to use it as the basis of my first game.

The advice I hear most frequently is "Make a small game and go though the full development process because you will learn so much"

I follow Extra Credits and last year the did some videos which explain it much better than I could.

So GTGD will finish the tutorial series release it on Steam etc. etc. Then what?

Why not take the tutorial series to the absolute End

Show us how to get a game on to Steam!

The Greenlight system, making a simple website, promoting the game, making a youtube trailer, screenshots Tips on promoting our games Indie DB etc.

Then GTGD will take you from creating the first cube in Unity to Selling the game on Steam

No one has done that before !

That would be Awesome !

IMHO

I am of the opinion it is quite possible to develop a game with a small budget these days.

I am also of the opinion it is Impossible to develop a game without a budget.

The budget for developing any game must be thousands of dollars even if you are a "hobbyist developer", Hobbies cost thousands of dollars these days. Golf, Fishing, Cycling etc.

So I don't think GTGD should be restricting the tutorial to only the "Free" network assets.

I have been researching the Unity Network assets and Forge Networking is looking like the best I've found. https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/38344

Every review I have read is 5 star and extolling the asset, they have a large number of professional youtube tutorials.

I know its not cheap but I also know "Nothing is Ever Truly Free"

Go back 5 years and you would have been remortgaging your house for such a networking solution.

GTGD can probably get a free version if he contacts them and explains he's making videos.
Heck he might even get a discount code for GTGD members

just my 2 coppers worth

OMG I think I am going quite Mad... You are right I was missing video 54.

I went through numerous times checking I had all the videos in the right sequence and all the time 54 was missing and I didn't notice.

That is so weird - I look but I don't see.
I saw what I wanted to see and not what was actually there.

OMG

Thankyou for taking the time to find the video with the test blocks
I can crack on now.

I'm stuck with your videos and am wondering if you have missed one out?

4mins 51 seconds in to video [56] Item Master you say: "There were those 2 test items I had"
I don't have those items, which video did you introduce those?

Also My inventory just says "Button" it doesn't have the items in it
Also in video [45] Intro To Chapter 3 there is a Player_Inventory Script I don't have one of those.

Now I'm getting errors and am unable to continue:
NullReferenceException: Tag: tag name is null. S3.Item_RidgedBodies.CheckifStartsInInventory () (at Assets/R_Scripts/Item_Scripts/Item_RidgedBodies.cs:35)
S3.Item_RidgedBodies.OnEnable () (at Assets/R_Scripts/Item_Scripts/Item_RidgedBodies.cs:15


This is the code in question
void CheckifStartsInInventory()
{
if(transform.root.CompareTag(GameManager_References._playerTag))
{
SetIsKinematicToTrue();
}
}

the script is on the player and the Player has a tag of "Player"
I am wondering if the script GameManager_References.cs was changed in the missing video (if there is a missing video)

There is the possibility that I am going Mad

Health Regen over time when you have food in your stomach.
And the opposite (loosing health over time) because of Bleeding.

These are core gameplay mechanics for the survival genre which could increase your viewers / customers because there are tons of FPS tutorials and not so many Survival tutorials on Youtube.

I guess it could be an optional bolt set of scripts that just calls the Increase and Decrease Health Events.

There is some information here ( the video gives an overview )
http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Mod:Survival

and more detailed info here
http://guides.gamepressure.com/dayz/guide.asp?ID=15665

Attracting the survival guys to your channel could make a big difference.

Do Steam take 30%? if so the price should be divisible by 3
I would make it at least 9 USD
The most important thing for me is that you keep making these videos.

I have no interest in Single Player whatsoever, if S3 is going to be Single player then its not for me.
