Pere, about how long had you been learning javascript before you made the transition to unity? How long did it take you to make your games in unity (both in days/weeks and hours per day/week)?

Hi Stebssbet, 

It's difficult for me to say, because I can only spend some night hours to learn, I have a full job and two daughters. But I've been learning WEB development (javascript)  more or lees for 12 month, and I spend 7 -10 hours per week, some weeks less, some weeks more. But I have 0 knowledge about Internet development, i had good C++ Background, but nothing about HTML, or javascript. And I did a website, that is fully functional, and responsive, and in the google cloud http://www.uadla.com. (It's in spanish). 

With Unity, at the beginning was a shock, but after the first hours everything is more simple. I started maybe in november 2017, and spend some more hours per week, maybe between 10-15 per week. 

My games are very simple!!!!, You can check: https://www.kongregate.com/games/oopere/giskard-in-the-dark

The main problem with Unity isn't the script language, the problem is that all is new: You need to work with the characters, and learn how to create some. I use piskelapp https://www.piskelapp.com/ for 2d characters, and now I'm starting with Blender for the 3d characters. 

Don't be afraid, just keep the first projects simple ;-) 

Very cool! That makes it sound much more do-able. Thanks for the info!
