    Iam 15 years old boy whose goal is to make a pure free indie horror game that actually scares people and same time got a huge story line that i have been working on for 2 years now.
    But when time has come and i have choose my engine *Unity* I found a bunch of great tutorials on steam and youtube called GTGD it teaches every thing about how to make any type of game on unity but it doesn't teach C# coding language (So at this part am lost) I tried learning but it's hard i just wanna code for gaming each time i try to look at video either it has it's own coding lines nothing shows me how those lines were actually made or what are those (//) for or how i exactly make a real script to make like main camera follows object or how to change object color in script when press a simple button, I just wanna learn C# coding from scratch but For gaming way not for programs or mathematical equations side.So any help or any thing.

    **I tried microsoft tutorials it simply doesn't relate to game it just show C# coding as common when i tried that on unity it didn't have any thing incommon of what i have learned** So show me the road to talk on guys please i really want to accomplish my goal. And if there is any videos any place around here for how to make rooms + connecting scenes + making doors how so ever i won't lose anything from another helping videos. Thank you for reading and waiting for your help.

    Unity now lets you switch to C# (even BOO) on their API
    http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/BoxCollider.html
    Just check the box in the top right that says C#.

    Never been easier to pick up C#. But take it slow and don't worry if you don't understand something. It takes many years to learn a language effectively. If there is a good quick start guide to C# for unity, I would like to know about it also, and maybe one day I can program in the top echelon of C# programmers too!

    All I see when I look for tutorials are a few tutorials followed by some request for donations so they can make more. Most tutorial series, video or written, tend to be incomplete.

    Grow up and take your time.
    No, seriously. This isn't meant as an offense.

    My honest recommendation for you would be to learn, practice and refine your skills more. You're young, you have time; Lots of it. Do small projects first, then start bigger ones. Learn the underlying skills before you tackle the big projects.

    Since game development is such a broad term, you'll need a broad set of skills to do a game. Help from others? 15 year old boys aren't taken seriously (even if you happen to be different from all the delusional kids out there).

    First thing to do:
    Learn programming. NOT(!) C# (or any other language for that matter). Learn programming. It's a different thing and let me tell you this: It takes time.

    Copy & Pasting stuff from the Internet won't get you anywhere. I know this, it's how I started too back then when I was about your age.

    Just my 2 cents...

    Both answers are really nice and helpfull but still nothing shows me where to go or where to start (Learning is not copying and pasting) Okay i got that but where are the basics where do i learn basics and where do i go after am done with it where do i go which road do i walk on so i reach my goal which is to make a pure indie horror game no one yet gave me that answer no one told me (Here is for begging then here so you learn that and here is for that and when your done test your self or when your done you will make your horror game)

    Biggest rule out of the lot, learn to google effectively.

    http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules

    This will help you out with block level design:



    Make whatever you want, time is on your side. There is a high chance you'll fail miserably, but it doesn't matter because the knowledge you get from it will be invaluable.

    Now that's really nice level design was like step 3 for me.
    now i think i can get throught this step easily. but still coding is a real problem i find people creating there own codes with words like pfft it's too easy took me one year to get it. and am here since months and month tryna know what i type in summary or what i type in update ...

    You'll need to learn how to program, which is less about the language and more about a specific way of thinking about the problems at hand.
    For that you'll want to find some programming course for beginners to teach you the concepts. Google and YouTube are your friends. (Also what ShadowK wrote)

    Read a book on programming (you can learn it with C#). =>

    Learn the basics from it, like varaibles, if/else statments, loops, methods, classes. When you can make a text based RPG with this knowledge =>

    Go on and get familiar with Unity using youtube tutorials and unity's scripting reference =>

    Now create 2-3 very simple games using Unity, without copy pasting the whole game =>

    Now you can try and create your horror game. You will probably fail at it the first 10 times you try but you will learn something each time =>

    NOW you can make your game (maybe).

    There is no shortcuts to become a good developer.
