You would have gotten five stars if you had shown the coding and not copy/pasting. You also have edited out some vital things that required checking the resource packages for clues as to what was broken. One example is the moving of boxes was never explained and it was taken for granted.

4 estrelas são pelo conhecimento adquirido até o momento, mas gostaria muito que os vídeos possuíssem legenda pelo menos em inglês. Outra dificuldade que tive foi a incompatibilidade de alguns itens e diferenças entre diversas opções utilizadas no curso entre a versão Unity do curso (4.3) e a minha (5.6), mas consegui me virar com alguns outros vídeos na internet. Apesar desses problemas o instrutor explica muito bem, e mesmo sendo em inglês estou conseguindo acompanhar bem os ensinamentos.

Great illustration ... Covers many areas that are important for developing games. I just hoped that the coding part could be more interactive in that we code step by step, not just have the code ready for illusration

Feels appropriately segmented and articulated that I can vividly recall the procedures (can even make out most of the words pronunciation at x2 speed). Though to make the series more complete, could perhaps teach/clarify if models or even rigs can be constructed in Unity3D itself as well as triggering sound effects (such as on level complete).
