Can anyone recommend any Unity tutorials / classes that AREN'T basic / beginner / "my first whatever" type of stuff? Assume I've done all of my prototyping and proof of concept work, and I'm ready to begin building full scale systems that will work beyond a single Scene #unity #gamedev #solodev

Over 5,000 games released on Steam this year didn't make enough money to recover the $100 fee to put a game on Valve's store, research estimates
And over 8,000 games are estimated to have earned under $1,000
