You will probably be the next biggest thing in Unity tutorials after Brackeys with this high-level quality content. Solid work!

@Mikelica69 3 роки тому

I'm a Unity developer since 2015 and believe me, I've seen a lot of tutorials during these years, both free and paid. I have to say yours are the best I've ever seen! Clear, concise, informative and straight to the point! I hope you'll continue this wonderful work of yours in the future because your tutorials are pure gems! Thanks a lot!

@KingRecycle69 3 роки тому

I love this. It's always good to know how something works in programming. They should place this video on the documentation page. Can't wait for the next one!

@AlecAndersonZx 3 роки тому

Fantastic quality video. I rarely see videos that explain everything super well and also give visuals that help you perfectly grasp exactly what's happening. I'm looking forward to new videos in the future!

@MJOb928 3 роки тому

Awesome tutorial. Easily, by far and away the most informative and information packed and accessible unity tute I haven seen on youtube. I love how you use the side by side visual examples to explain. Keep it up and i look forward to watching more 👍

@simoncodrington 3 роки тому

Great visual breakdown of the movement controller properties mate. Perfectly explains what they do and when you'd use them. Looking forward to more great videos like this.

@thewightone7441 3 роки тому

Yo, this video is sick. I had to learn most of this on my own over a few years and I STILL didn't know about the collision collider flags and the character controller callback method. Great work, can't wait for the next video.

Awesome video and in depth explanations. Will use this as a reference to anyone who wants to learn because you explained them so well and even had a few things in there that I didn't know. I've always made my own character controllers because I better understand them and I get what I want. This was very insightful even to me and may even help speed up my process.

@michaelwilson8461 3 роки тому

Really nice coverage. There's a million "copy what I do" videos out there. They're great for getting up and running, but having an understanding of the underlying properties goes A LONG way in actually being able to tune something to your needs. Its kind of like that whole "Give a man a fish , vs teach a man to fish " thing (paraphrased lol). Nice work man. One thought though, if at all possible it would be nice if you could slow down just a little. Ive watched on about 0.8 speed just to keep from having to scrub back a couple seconds all the time. When your brain gets old it slows down lol.
