Ok I am not sure where to begin. First I am not looking for handouts or sympathy for what I have gone through. I am looking for encouragement to keep going and maybe find some people that know the same things to talk to. I know that where I am there are few and those that are here are not that welcoming to me trying to talk to them about tech of any kind. I am disabled and I am teaching myself how to do this so that I can make more to help support my family. With no one to talk to about things dealing with this they have no idea what I am saying. I have been questioning that this is even possible. I am extremely introverted and doing this is so far out of my comfort zone but I know that I need to do this. I had a dentist mess up my jaw and so I have never been able to get a job in fount of people in an office setting. I am small and with the two most thought I was a drug adduct and would never even think of hiring me. I have had 20 years to get over how I look physically but it does not change the fact that it has affected my life. Now with me loosing my ability to walk, working behind the screen seems like a great idea. I also want the ability to go to different doctors that might be willing to fix my leg but again that takes making more than I currently do. I want to chase after my youngest child who from birth has never experienced playing tag with me like her older sibling did. I miss out on so many things since my legs do not work right. Like I said I am not looking for sympathy but to find people that will help me stay focused on meeting my goals to maybe one day make my dream game. I have what support my family can give me but there are days where I just want to have someone to talk to about what I am learning that understands more. I am not expecting anyone to reply to this but if you do than thanks for just reading through. Hope your day is a good one and your night restful.
If things are as you say then there can be other solutions.
Maybe VR is an option ? It might help (virtually) with your mobility problems and give you some relief?
I noticed you mentioned a “dream game”
Are you using Unity or another engine to do this with?
But even if you are interested in just a hobby then Unity can be wonderful for filling in those hours and being creative at the same time.
You do need to be disciplined to a learning curve but it’s not that bad and who knows…you might become addicted to it’s creativity.
Just where are you with Unity…How long using it?
Keep that chin up.
Cheers!

Right now I am working on the MiniGame one under the learn options. I have completed one of the paths. To be honest I am trying to learn everything I can so that I can one day do something to make money with it. I know that seems far fetched but I hate not being able to work. I am learning Unity and using it right now since it has the lessons on how to get going. I also have Godot Engine as well. I am getting somewhere but I am not sure if I need to learn other things. I have experience with JS, C#, Java, Python, HTML, CSS. I have been working with freeCodeCamp as well as Code Combat to learn the scripting. I also have a few certificates though some other tablet based programs for learning the languages. I know that it is not professional experience but I have had to teach myself all of it on my own. I hate being on disability and want a way out and I don’t have to walk to use a computer. I am not losing my mind or my upper body so I need to find a way to utilize them. I then might be able to afford better mobility aids that would allow me to get around easier. My dream game is one that at one point though a good person and playing it with me more than likely saved my life at one point and I want to introduce others to it as well in a bit of an updated way. I want better for my family and myself in the end and I have not been able to play much like I use to once I started to learn to build them. I would also like the ability to replace a hot water heater when it breaks. I know that there are way more things that I need to learn before I can even think of getting a job and that is if that is even a possibility. Also I only found Unity about 2 months ago. I can’t even tell you how I found it either. Also I cant even afford a computer that could run VR much less the VR sets that are out there, though one day I plan to have that ability.
