Additional info:
I use a Canon Lumix GH5 camera to record my videos with the Olympus 17mm F1.2 lens as well as the Laowa F2.0 7.5mm compact dreamer lens. Sometimes I also use a GoPro Hero 8, a Insta360 One X and a Sony rx100 mark vii. For audio I use a Rode NTG shotgun microphone connected to a RME Fireface UFX II sound card.
Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)

I saw part 1 when I was 20. Now I am 40 and still waiting for part 2 :D......Huge fan! Please make time and share part 2.

The runner got a car accident. So there is no part 2. Sorry. LOL.

One of the best tutorials I've seen on KZbin. Can't wait to see upcoming episodes.

[@killthesleeper]

I discovered your channel yesterday, and I've been binging it ever since! You're great at teaching, and I love your low poly animations! Can't wait for part 2 of this video

[@gameginger5529]

I watched it 2 years ago , it was my first ever game , and now i am quite comfortable in making actual good looking mobile games on my own, thanks for the initial boost

[@rodmileski]

Thumbs up since 1st second. "E" to Excellent, "S" to Superior, and "R" to Remarkable. Well done mate, as always!

[@hellangel28]

Im pretty sure E stands for Extrude and S for Scale. Ill show myself out.

[@otukenn79]

[@mrkatlet]

You read my mind, I was going to make an endless runner today This is amazing & I'm participating in a jam I'm just really amazed how you uploaded a video about it

[@d11men1234]

100% should release the modelling and animation process for this in a separate video :)

[@qanda3246]

Very True My5ticTurk

[@tt128556]

Looking forward to part 2, you're the best Blender teacher for us rookies.

[@rapeig]

Can`t wait to see the next part! I`ve always looked for a video like this. Keep it up

[@alexg31416]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I have learned so much and so quickly. Please keep making videos like these! You're awesome!

[@TommyReady]

This was good. It convinced me to support you on Patreon, keep up the good work!

[@kenion149]

Amazing job again. Expecting part 2 so much.

[@samuelriggs4873]

Very excited to learn a lot in this series - great topic!

[@ErikNonIdle]

Happy to see some more Unity content! I absolutely love your Blender stuff, but I'd personally like to see a bit more Unity stuff. Either way, love your videos!

[@archmagesalamar1377]

Thanks Imphenzia! Always learn something new from your videos.

[@Gredran]

You're great man! I love your 10 minute videos and your, "Can I do this?" video! Thanks for these videos! I know some Unity, so idk if I am gonna do it, but you already helped me with your opening. I still use the default project, but I guess it's no longer needed if you can run URP :) And these will help so many others! The barrier of entry for game dev is so low these days if you put in the time :)

[@TheNei]

Very cool!! Im wait anxious to part 2!! Thanks!!

[@aneeketdeo6633]

We are waiting for the part 2... Cannot wait anymore!!

[@oilbaggcomedy1058]

Your videos are always good I learnt so much from you in such a short time your explanations are good for beginners like myself

[@TigressKM]

I follow your work well... for a loong time, getting inspired by it and thinking how cool it would be if I could do some game design with that art stile, learning a little low poly with your videos. And I can say that I am really happy to see you working on it too! I wish you the best of luck on your learnings and teaching and I hope you can keep the unity games and helps as well with your low poly content

[@CommentBanana]

I hope you can make a part 2! this videos was very helpful :)

[@hellangel28]

awesome video once again! one little feedback, when you start your timestamps with 00:00 youtube automatically parses them and shows the timestamps on the video progress bar :) Like: 00:00 Starting 01:50 Something else

[@yersonsolano2087]

Thanks for this tutorial, I love the way you teach us to create games

You should also make tutorials about making music... Those retro vibes at the end are awesome. I'm also a big fan of "Nostalgia"

[@wormszone_play]

Now I am still waiting for part 2. Sir Huge fan

[@harshjain4256]

You can also use rigid body and character controller together on the hero so that you dont need to add gravity from c# script and you can lock the z and x axis movements as well

[@maXcelmishra]

pls make part 2 we need this

I loved your Learn Unity video and I was pretty disappointed when I looked at your channel and didn't see more Unity stuff. (That's what I'm learning and you are my favorite teacher) I'm so happy you are doing a Unity tutorial. Thank you!!

SECOND PART PLEASE ❤️

[@jhovala]

you are great!

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Stephan (?), your videos are mind blowingly good. And your timing on this one must be divine intervention. Your long video on low poly modeling is the best, most concentrated, least wordy, most bang for the buck Blender education I’ve ever seen on KZbin. I swear some Blender gurus are out to discourage talented people by burying their aspirations in incomprehensible jargon (at least for noobs).You, on the other hand, are a teacher. Thanks, and I owe you a beer! ✌️🍺🍺🎩🎩🎩

[@andreascarlsson744]

It would be awesome if you made an animation video of how to make a character "jump", "crawl" and "duck". I love you videos, they are so inspiring! :D

[@LeonardoLoor]

Lo voy a ver y lo hare 👍😎

Nice video, curious to see the Endless Runner part, I just did a tutorial on it as well, want to see what approach you took.

[@aakarshkaushal3433]

Please release the part 2 as well Thanks.

[@ivypogee]

thank you for this.. love your videos.. when will part 2 be uploaded?

[@KL13923j]

Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mrPurplexedYT]

No part 2 a year later, but this is a solid base to continue with another tutorial if you have a basic understanding of Unity

[@gabbrissimo]

Thank you so much for this as always. i just wondering why not raycast for ground check? i usually cast a ray in front of the character (like at 30 deg), one straight down and one to the back. Is mine a bad approach? maybe for performance or something else?

[@jroc6745]

Excellent video. Well explained and you make it look so easy. I have a question. What do I write in the code at 4:58 if I want to manually move the player with a button press instead moving automatic like you set?

[@DeZiio]

Great can't wait for the second part, I'm having trouble instantiating platforms in Unity it's leaving behind a tiny 'gap' in spacing that shouldn't exist

[@DeZiio]

Mind you for my runner platforms are coming at you while the player remains in the same space to give the effect of running forwards

[@user-ft7uc7nl8m]

Thank you for the Great Video. I followed you video and made my own Endless Runner. But I found the this ground check method may cause a little problem. The vetical speed of the character will be set to 0 when character is very close to the ground( before landing on the ground). This creates a small gap between the ground and the bottom of the character. I wonder if there is a better way to do ground check or character movement?

[@herbiefirst9574]

Thanks a lot for this excellent tutorial! Please show the modelling of this nice guy in a separate tutorial!

Hello, excellent video, for when part 2?

love your channel. i wanted to ask you if you plan to make an character face rigging and animation tutorial. couldnt find really good ones yet

[@scratchy996]

Great video ! I'm working at a 2.5D platformer, but I would like to add corners into the game, make the player change the axis by a fixed degree , do you know how to best approach this ?

[@mArv2091]

Lord Imphenzia, it has been a solid 4 months Sir, When Will You Bless Us With Part 2
