Hi everyone
Today I officially started my learning journey with Unity. I spent the whole morning exploring the basics: a bit of 3D, a bit of 2D, and even tried Godot out of curiosity.
My long term goal is to create simple 2D games (maybe even start by replicating a small stickman-style game just to learn). For now, I’m treating this as a hobby, but I don’t rule out taking it more seriously in the future.

However, there’s something that learning paths don’t usually teach you:

  • how to stay motivated

  • how to deal with frustration when things get hard

  • how to avoid losing enthusiasm or giving up

I know there may be a point where I lose motivation or feel like I'm not progressing fast enough, so I’d love to hear real experiences from people who have already gone through this.

My questions for you

  • How did you stay motivated when you were starting out?

  • What do you wish you had known at the beginning?

  • What would you recommend to someone who literally downloaded Unity today?

  • How do you avoid frustration or giving up too quickly?

I really appreciate any advice or experience you’re willing to share

Thanks for reading and for your help!
