I used this tutorial from a beginner's point of view. I have a moderate understand of C# and wanted to use it in Unity. So far the course has focused on developing the texture atlas generator plugin which, while useful and insightful, has felt like a very niche topic of game development, rather than a introductory to the basics of making a 2D game in Unity.

The course did not quite live up to my expectation. The beginning was very slow and focussed completely on the creation of the atlases. Then when it came to the actual creation of the game, the explanations were very rushed. In fact I lost track in the last phase and did not feel guided any more.

75% of this course is not relevant anymore because of 2d support in the newer version of Unity.

I think think course was too much on creating the Atlas Texture and too little on making the actual game. And I don't know why the project even started in 3D (could be that 2D in Unity came after the course was made)
