Any Tips for Learning Unity?

I’m still not too good at Unity 5. I’ve been learning and can make simple games, but non can compete to other games in Ludum Dare. I’ve got books, “Unity in Action” being my best one, but are there any particular videos or books that would be of assistance? I’ve got 3-4 weeks, so I’m pretty sure theres time. Thanks in advance.

Good Chadivision! I would also like to add that the most important thing is to have fun during the Ludum Dare, not to “win against everyone else” – that’s only for the really good people! :) LD is also a really good learning opportunity in of itself! I feel like I come out of every Ludum Dare as slightly better game developer than what I was before!

As well as the Unity documentation, Youtube is an excellent source of learning when it comes to any subject.

I tend to learn best when I am watching videos and have subscribed to a number of tutorial channels over the years.

I prefer C# as a language over Javascript, having initially learnt Javascript for Unity and switching over when I found that C# seemed to be more commonly supported.
