The Unity Game Engine, arguably the best Engine to work with for beginners basically free. With the determination of being one of the big names in Indie game dev I took on the challenge to learn and make some Indies. I was wrong :)

So I selected the Lego microgame which is like a small tutorial and it teaches you about the Unity UI and some stuffs related to building games with LEGO BLOCKS, sighs. LOL. I wanted that C# Scripts and cool looking chunks of codes which runs my game, I wanted a cool character hacking and slashing its way to the goal. Lego blocks would be the last thing that I would pick to build a game. With a little knowledge about Pygame and Python to make games I expected some programming but that first tutorial was very very beginner friendly which is very good, not gonna lie but it was not what I wanted.

So its been a week and I am in the pathway of Junior programmer from Unity Learn. My first impression when I opened the empty editor was, “What the hell is this?” in an awe. But thanks to Unity learn for their step by step process of teaching, I have successfully finished some units and more interest is building up as I progress. I have seen youtubers make great games unleashing their imagination into this tiny world that they create. I wouldn’t say I always wanted to build a game but since I came to know about Unity the months old interest just kicked in. Let’s see how far I can reach in this platform. Stay tuned and help me develop into that dream of being an Indie Game Dev. Stay safe.
