I’m expirienced java programmer, and I took an interest for game development so I’m wondering how long would it take me to learn how to use unity to develop a 2D trading card game.
I already watched few tutorials for C# and wrote some code to get familiar with it. It’s pretty similar to java so I won’t have any problems using it.
Hi there,
Welcome!
It shouldn’t take you too long at all. There are a lot of tutorials you could go through and it has great docs so you should be able to figure it out fairly well. It may only take you a day or two to get something going such as a 2D trading card game since it should be fairly simple and I would imagine there are probably some tutorials or even assets available for that kind of thing to give you a better idea of how to do it.
If you ever need help you can always post on the Forums or the Answers site and I’m sure someone will try to help.
Good luck!
It takes literally forever. You’ll always discover something new you can do 
Just finish the editor and script areas of the Learn section, then do the game tutorials. Time will fly and you’ll learn everything you need to get started on your own ideas. The rest you’ll pick up as needed.
Thank you for yor replies.
I am an amateur java programmer (android app on play store with about 30k downloads and good reviews)
I have so far followed the first two tutorials (took about 3 days as i have limited free time) from what i can see c# which is the main language for scripting is very comparable to java, and the ability to simply hit play and test your app with out having to compile it > send it to a phone is very nice. i reckon it will take me 6 to 7 months to be fully comfortable in unity if i push my self. (but then i am old and it took me a while to jump from BASIC to java lol)
