This looks pretty awesome. Just fyi it's very hard to find the actual page of videos once you sign up. maybe something to improve on.

but what you actually get is a bunch of separate unity tutorials, on different topics, from different teachers, there is no full course for "lets make this exact game from scratch"..?

You should be able to find the courses on the Pluralsight website, under "Paths". Just search for "Swords and Shovels" and it should come up. Can you confirm if you can see them @D3Duck and @tonifang ?

Thank you so much! I found it! So weird, i was really searching Pluralsight a couple times but never landed on that page. Not even once. Doesnt seem to be very userfriendly. Apparently quite a couple other people had my problem too =D

I don't really want access to all of Pluralsight, I'm just worried that after 10 days or 200 min of view time I'm locked out of the money I've already spent :/ Also, I've tried downloading the exercise assets but all the materials and textures come out as just black and white. Is that happening to anyone else?

The $12 you spent on the Unity Swords and Shovels landing page is for Pluralsight. The $12 is a monthly payment. It is a discount for the normal monthly payment for pluralsight. It gives you access to all the videos and courses for the Swords and Shovels game. If you messed up your account, which I did also, go to Unity and go to your account.
