Question about programming for a beginner in unity

Hi everyone
I am trying to get in the game industry i heard so many good things about unity the types of games i want to create is like small action rpgs and indie games but in 3d not hyper realistic but more like casual 3d graphics also i use maya for modeling and animation and rigging but i have no programming backround

My question is: is it hard to learn programming in unity with no programming backround does it take long time to learn should i consider unity as my first game engine?
Plz let me know

 

It's very viable to learn to program using Unity. It hides away many of the advanced technical concepts that would get in your way as a beginner. The C# you use in Unity is the same C# you would use anywhere else, and learning it helps you transition into C/C++ much more easily later if you need to.

Unity also presents some concepts in ways that make them easier to understand (at least that's what I found to be true). For example, I had a hard time wrapping my head around object oriented programming and classes. But when I understood a class as a 'script' in Unity, and understood its behavior in that context, it made a lot more sense to me. Of course, it's not really as simple as being a 'script' in Unity. But seeing it that way helped me a lot.

It's just one example, but there are many others that may apply to other people.

Your knowledge will carry well to other realms if you later want to move away from Unity. I now do low level game engine programming, and I'm very thankful for all I learned using Unity. It makes the transition a lot easier than if I had just started out with the game engine programming.

Of course, I'm comparing 'engine vs no engine' here. If you're comparing Unity with other engines, then I still would recommend Unity. Unreal is a lot more complicated than Unity and probably not the way to go as a beginner unless you really want to use visual scripting (I don't necessarily recommend it). Game Maker I haven't used personally, but I don't think the skills you pick up from it are [as] applicable outside of the engine as skills from Unity would be.

Thank you all for fast replys guess i give unity a try and hope for the best

 

All you must hope for is a lot of personal work; knowledge won't come to you, you'll have to earn it.
