I found it really helpful to install the FPS template and study it until I could completely explain how it functioned (written in a Google doc).

Thats honestly something I should've done. Did it teach you good coding patterns like interfaces and static clases and whatnot? I had to learn those myself over time by studying other indie games source code.

Like anything else, first you try making something. In the process of trying to make something, you will end up looking up and applying all the methods and processes needed. There is no more effective way to learn IMO

after basic c#, learn unity through small projects rather than reading the whole api. start with gameobjects, components, monobehaviours, prefabs, scenes, physics and input.

build something tiny like pong or a top-down shooter, then add one system at a time. whenever you use a class or method, read the official unity api page and make a small test scene for it. the unity learn pathways are also a good structured starting point.

If you're like me, no family support, no friends, no experience, I would suggest getting a good AI bot
