Make a copy of your project folder and put it somewhere. You can use an older version of Unity but you don't have to. I just checked with Unity 5.5 a few days ago and it is running fine. There are some annotations already in the videos to help you identify what is different from when I originally recorded the video and this applies only to a few videos such as cursor lock and scene management.

I haven't had a chance to try out Unity 5.5 yet. Most likely there will be things broken since Unity tends to make a fair few changes in every iteration :)

Yeah maybe go back to chapter 1 and complete that first. I think it will give you the foundation you need to help you help yourself.

Project folder is now included

Thank you very much for that! Coming from you it does mean a lot. On Steam positive reviews make all the difference on how people perceive a title and how well it continues to sell.

I think those videos are accurate!

What do you think is happening right now?

I've had further ideas

2 Minute Survival! might be the name of the game. As an extension to S3 after chapter eight I could make some general type of tutorial videos.

Here are some rough thoughts of what I can teach in general tutorials:
1. Make a game within your means, for example; I'm just one person and I do a day job to earn a living (engineer in my case, you might be a student, in volunteer roles, or whatever your case may be) so I can't allocate five working days a week to developing my game. So I must discipline myself and forget day dreaming about making a CoD or CS or Skyrim, I flat out can't out make one of those awesome games because I'm just one person and those were made by whole teams, and I don't have enough hobby money to hire people to make custom stuff for my game.

2. Ok so now that I've accepted my constraints what can I make that will be awesome and fun?? Well perhaps I will make something that is like other games out there but with one or two gameplay elements that make my game a bit different. Hmmm... ok so I'll make an FPS game but how about I make it an intense "survival" game where the player is placed in a very small randomly generated dungeon and they must fight their way to the exit with whatever they can find. On completing the level they'll be rewarded with some random resource reward and experience points. With resources the player can craft and upgrade weapons. With experience they can boost their abilities (such as more melee damage, more shooting damage, better shooting accuracy when running. maybe carry more inventory items).
If the player dies then they die forever but their next character can inherit one item. As they get to higher levels in the dungeon they encounter new types of enemies. After a certain number of levels the player does escape and then it's a happy game over (I just feel that a game must end, including sandbox ones, otherwise players can become bitter after they've played the game so much so that they can no longer derive any enjoyment out of it). On winning the game perhaps any new characters they make will always receive some cool starting item to begin with.

Or maybe the game can just be a randomly generated safe house that the player can setup a bit and then they have to survive two minutes of intense zombie waves crashing against their safe house!

3. I can mention asset store store items that I use and roughly how I use them to make my game.

4. I can explain a bit how to make an IndieDB page, YouTube videos, and then a Steam community group and what I've found to work and not work. Also you must have friends, real friends are the most important especially if you don't have fans on an existing channel, and next are your Steam friends.

5. When I have enough audience (or I feel confident) then I'll show how to make a greenlight page and what I've learnt for trying to present it.

6. Hopefully get greenlit and then wrap up with some lessons learnt and some tips for when to release the game on Steam (the key lesson is basically don't rush and get feedback from the players that will make the game more fun, and that's what I learnt from my Guild Commander launch). Maybe or maybe not I'll be able to show a bit about the Steamworks side of things, but probably not because I'm not very knowledgeable on integrating Steamworks features (I only went as far as achievements with Guild Commander).

7. If you make a cool looking game that's different from mine than I'll play it and make a video to help promote your game since I have at least a few fans, just enough awesome people to drag me through greenlight

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

I have already bought forge networking and bolt when they were on sale, but I haven't had the time to go into detail with them. From what I can see there is no magic bullet that just makes networking easy. A vast amount of work has to be done by the developer to make a multiplayer FPS game, and if it is competitive then even more so, because people are right and it has to be authoritative to try and stop cheaters.

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 could do something like this. I would have to step out of the detail though. Maybe I might be able to turn the S3 project into a survival game. I wouldn't be able to show every detail, because a huge amount of work goes into a proper game, but I could go over the general topics and what is being done.
