Hello everyone, this is a very important question to me and I sincerely hope that someone here can guide me to the light. You see, I am an English major who has spent the last several years wondering what i want to do with my life. I have finally decided that i most defiantly want to make video games, but here is the problem: I have none of the technical skills I require. I have dabbled in 3D modeling and I like it though I am a rank ameture, and as I said I am an English major so thinking up plots and such is somewhat my forte. However in order for me to be able to make my own games I am going to need to learn to program. Here is the problem. The way I learn is through the application of things I like. Give me a textbook filled with numbers and I will literally never get past the first page. However give me those same numbers and teach me to make something I love with them and I will never forget them.
So here is my question: How did you learn to program and use Unity? I don’t want to dump truckloads of money into classes that will only serve to frustrate me, so trial and error is not possible.
Also I work full time just to get by so an efficient method of learning is all the more imperative. I am certain that this is said all the time, but I have great ideas for games, I just don’t know how to translate them into a computer. So please friends, what are the best, most right-brained methods of learning technical minded concepts?
TLDR: I am Right brained and will only remember things in a “hands-on” fashion. Where can I find the best resources to compliment my less than intellectual learning habits?
