These past few months have probably not been as many tutorials as we did last year. Still, the quality is super strong with our ebook, video tutorials, and great tutorials on our forums. We are not done with the quality tutorials, as more are already being built today.
We wanted to thank everyone on the list. It’s been amazing to see the great stuff built with Cocos Creator and also see the tutorials created by the Cocos team and users of Cocos Creator. We hope this list of all the tutorials helps out other developers looking to build their own games or even join us with their own tutorials. We are always happy to have you add your tutorials to our forums for everyone to see
If you missed all of our other tutorials, we have them in order:
