Hello all, I’m new to game development and I just want your personal opinion. At the moment I’m taking Udemy classes to learn C# for scripting, I want to be a VR Indie game developer and I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to go into creating VR games right away. If I went straight into developing VR games I feel like I would have a lot less struggle later since I’m learning C# and the fundamentals at the same time instead of learning to create a regular game and then later trying to learn the VR aspect, I feel as if I might just be non motivated to learn something new after I spend a lot of time learning what I already know if that makes sense. Is there a big difference between creating a regular game and creating a VR game? Like code wise and everything or are they very similar just with a few minor differences. Any feedback is very much appreciated, thank you!
You should really do tutorials and your first practice projects outside of VR to start with, as VR adds additional complexity to your project. This is the same reason you should always start with a single player project before moving on to a networked multiplayer project, for example.
You’re also unlikely to find Unity tutorials for VR aimed at the complete novice, as they undoubtedly will have a built in assumption you are already familiar with the basics of using the editor to make simple games before jumping into VR.
