My first 2 MONTHS of GameDev | What did I LEARN? #GameDev #IndieGames #Csharp

Posted on by Patrick Fluke


I began my journey into indie game development two months ago with no prior experience in the field. Over this time, I have made significant progress in my programming knowledge. I have learned the basics of C# and Unity, and have created several small projects to demonstrate my understanding of these tools. Additionally, I have consulted with more experienced game developers to better understand the development process and to make sure I am on the right track. I am now confident that I have a good foundation to continue to build upon and am eager to see what the future holds.
