5 Easy and Mostly Free Resources to get Started with Unity

When you’re thinking about building experiences for AR, VR, or video game development for 2D and 3D games, your building platform choices can be overwhelming. However, they don’t have to be.

Why? Because, if you are interested in gaining the skills that will help you long-term, and you want to be able to develop complex and customizable content for almost any platform (AR/VR/mobile/desktop, etc.), the right choice is fairly obvious; it’s Unity.

There are several other reasons to choose Unity:

1. It’s free (for small teams).
2. It has a huge network of users.
3. Its documentation is excellent
4. There is a ton of up-to-date tutorial content out there for it!

Side Note: Before you jump into a tutorial, I recommend putting Unity in context. Be sure to, at least, read about Unity on Wikipedia. Understanding its history, relation to other game engines, and the diversity of uses for the engine certainly helped me gain a new respect for the platform!
