Getting Started with Unity 3d

I have been playing with Unity 3d for the last few days, and well am just loving it. Currently am following a couple of examples provided by http://www.packtpub.com/unity-3d-game-development-by-example-beginners-guide/book, and well it seems i am making quite a progress, both using the 3d environment and the GUI  environment (i call them both environment but they´re more like tools or something like it) to create sample games.

This next week i should be trying to set up a quick tutorial to getting started into game dev with unity 3d, something really basic! Heck lets start right away!

The first thing you´ll want to do, is download unity 3d if you havent already, you can find it here!

Once you´ve downloaded and installed unity 3d (just follow their website´s instructions, they´re really simple), lets start the sucker!! Most likely you will start with an empty project, but just so you can get used to  the process, we´ll just create a new.

Creating a project
1. Click on File --> New Project ...

2 . Input the name and location for your new project

3. If you want to mess around with some of the included assets, select them from this screen, unity comes PACKED with a lot of cool stuff, i haven't even gotten around half of all of it

4. Click on create or just hit Enter

XD see it was that easy creating the project, now play... errr... yeah... we havent created anything yet. But hey at least its something! I'll try to get the second part as soon as possible!

If youre reading this, i'd love some feedback!! i mean how can i improve???
Thanks in advance!
