Help my soul

I'm brand new to unity and I have game making experience from game maker, but it couldn't do what I needed it to so I am on here. I am going crazy on what to do. The tutorial doesn't help much and there are a million videos on youtube and I don't know who to follow. I feel so lost. I event looked for help from extra credit. I really don't want to be a help vampire, but I don't know what to do. My dream is to make certain game demos before I die as a bucket list. I am trying to start small, but it still feels really hard. What do I do? I'm starting with a simple 2d game with balloons and guns.

P.S. I am trying to not do any coding at all. I almost had a mental breakdown learning coding a few years back. So don't need to go through that again.

Thank you to anyone that responds

 

Hi,

I'd look at these videos first, to get some idea how to use the interface and components
https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/interface-essentials

then into 2D stuff (not necessary to do all those, but just watch at least, to see how they do it)
https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/s/2d-game-creation

then, for some visual scripting tools, unity doesn't have one builtin (yet)
this one is new and looks simple, https://forum.unity.com/threads/free-goto-studio-visual-scripting.555421/
this one is the most popular one, https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/?stay#!/content/368
and there are some others too..

alternatively would be to find someone to do the coding, either free or paid..

 

Just keep at it. Game Maker is both an excellent way to get your feet wet while simultaneously being an excellent way to make people think game development is easier than it truly is. Learning Unity is generally a process spanning a number of months of just trying to pick up as much as you can from any and every available source.

Unity's official tutorials tend to be the ones we recommend, but there are excellent unofficial resources like Brackeys on YouTube (free), Ben Tristem on Udemy (paid), etc.

You've made it clear you want to avoid writing code, but I'm still going to recommend the C# Yellow Book for two main reasons. First, it's genuinely one of the best learning resources for C# being aimed at people who have never coded before.

Second, and most importantly, the vast majority of available learning resources for game development expect you to write code. You won't have to do much of it, but if you can't do any you've just eliminated almost all of your learning resources.

Ben Tristem also has a youtube channel GameDev.tv or something like that.

Other good resources are Unity3dCollege (this is for people who already had a grasp of Unity.)

 

Thank you all for the guidance. It is greatly appreciated.
