Why Using Unity Is Making You a Worse Game Dev
In this video, I discuss the importance of not using Unity and instead focusing on learning the fundamentals of object-oriented programming. I share my experiences and struggles with using Unity as a beginner and falling into the trap of tutorial hell, where my progress stagnated. I didn't improve for a long time.

However, everything changed when I began reading programming and game development books. This transformation led me to realize that I didn't need tutorials anymore and that I could think of a gameplay mechanic or feature and start coding. I urge beginners in game development to take away from my story, not to make the same mistakes as I did, and to buy a book on any object-oriented programming language, clean coding principles, software architecture, and design patterns to become serious about making your dreams come true.
