GOL Game Jam Is Now Live, Development Can Begin!

Bear with me if I'm stupid...

I start Unity. I get loged in automatically. Did a logout and a login again, to no avail.
The I open or start a new project. Go to assets, want to drag in something. Say a Santa hat. Need to import package.
Then a window opens asking me for my login:

It doesn't work, neither with my login name, nor with the mail address, nor if I login with firefox at the asset web page beforehand.

... I got it!
If I don't do Import Package, but Open Asset Store, it looks way better!

Thanks for bearing with me. :)

Anything you would recomment to watch or read for a starter?

Tactical FPS 'Insurgency' Now Available on Linux In Beta Form, Woohoo
22 Oct 2015 at 1:35 pm UTC

Quoting: mulletdeathI'm actually the opposite-- I don't like "realistic" or "tactical" shooters at all, so I'm guessing this wouldn't be right for me. I would rather play intense twitch shooters where you're a bullet sponge unless you get snipe headshots or dead-on shotgun or rocket launcher hits. I hate dying from one bullet, health that doesn't recover, and similar stupid crap. I've never found any kind of replacement for Gears of War on Linux. I wait patiently for such a thing to exist.
Yeah, I'm still waiting for my Call of Duty experience on Linux. :)

They shouldn't complain about low sellings on Mac and Linux in the end.

Wow.
I played some Mario Kart on the Wii this weekend, but this looks way more responsive.
I didn't even know until recently the Steam Controller had such a feature...

Quoting: KurremkarmerrukI can't recall if there has been any questions about Big Picture Mode in the past.
Nice.
"Not using Steam at all" should be added then (not for me, though).

Quoting: wojtek88I guess there is yet another problem, with the Valve policy of sales.
They often did sales with the release of the Linux version.

Same here: Autumn/fall holidays.
Unfortunately, I never used any game engine yet (and I don't have fixed/school holidays anymore)...
