If you are new to Unity for game development, you may have tried looking up tutorials online or on YouTube. Chances are, those tutorials are out of date with Unity 5.
I am going to develop a 2D Platformer in the style of great games like Super Mario Bros. 3, Shovel Knight, Super Meat Boy or even Little Big Planet.
I will be building a 2D Platformer in Unity 5 and I’ll be showing how to do the steps in both Unity scripting languages (both C# and UnityScript/JavaScript). So, regardless of which language you choose, this tutorial will help you in either one.
GitHub Source for Unity 5 2D Platformer Demo
The source project will be uploaded to GitHub with each tutorial tagged. See this post about the GitHub source and 2 Platformer tutorial tags.
