    Just wanted to say a big Thank you to Unity staff and to the forum people on this "Unity University". I can now create the games I wanted to do for so long. Ever since I heard about the Kinect sensor, before it even came out many years ago, I was so eager to try it. Then with the release of xbox 360 a few years ago, I wanted to create games of my own. I mailed microsoft to ask how to. The answer was like "...contacting.. third party developers... " and it all sounded like greek to me, I didn't know anything about game programming. Then I ran into Unity, and through the forum members and the great Unity tutorials I got my game production and programming education. I must mention aldonaletto, whose answers has helped me a lot of times being stuck on a problem for hours late at night, I always knew that the solutions from this member was rock solid. And a lot more members have contributed to this ocean of great knowledge on the forum.
    I now have my first Kinect game done and it's on the Windows Store. And hopefully soon I'm going to have the games I first dreamed about creating, jungle adventure and an astronaut game. If you have a Kinect V2 sensor lying around, try out the free demo of the game. This particular game however is not an "action" game. It's developed to be possible to play even for people not so used to computer gaming and also for people with mobility impairments or elderly, but everyone who wants to take a walk could try it out. (Here's a link to the tuts video:

    This has been some journey for me, I've learned so much!
    I hope to be able to contribute to the forum answers and help others myself now, especially on Kinect issues, since I now have gathered some experience. So, feel free to PM me about Kinect related stuff, if I can answer, I will.

    Congrats on making a game. Most people don't reach this stage they usually stop at the dreaming stage. Good job and good luck on future projects!
