    My wife and I have begun developing games (I was in game design in school but remember very little from nearly 2 decades ago), and a problem we both have is we're artist, thus very visual learners. While working on a piece of her game, she was getting frustrated with the fact she might have to learn a little bit of C# in order to move a character with isometric movement that she would wind up crying having to look at the code at all. I woke her up at 4 AM this morning, asking her if she wanted to learn C# in 9 lines of code with your video, and she broke down crying again, but because she understood absolutely everything. She's currently exercising and is ready to LUNGE into working with C#. I cannot explain to how how much this helped us, and we are now permanent subscribers and are binging everything on your channel. So thank you SO much.

    Great starter for beginners! I have a little bit of time with C# and I'll say I would steer away from teaching people to just use public because it shows up in the Unity Editor and start using private and [Serialize Field]. That way you still get the usefulness of seeing your variables inside of the Editor but keeping them safe from mistakes by using public.

    You made this very simple and approachable with clearly displayed (and colour co-ordinated!) code and examples.
