I'm at the cusp of a new creative endeavor in my life.
In my head is a story that I'd like to produce and I haven't even chosen the medium.
It could just be a book, but I'm been wondering, if it could be an interactive story instead.
Both books and games take a long time to write. I'm expecting this to be many years in the making, no matter what I choose to use to express my vision.
I have over two decades of programming and multimedia experience. I know Objective-C and iOS dev. I know about basic 3D. I did one of the Unity demo game tutorials in about 3 hours. Other than that, I have no experience with Unity, and therefore I haven't spent the money to try out all the additional tech.
How long do you think it would take one person to produce a simple game? 2 years? 5 years?
Can I acquire most of the assets I need through 3rd party resources or should I expect to have to design every scene and character?
Do many people try this and fail? How crazy of an idea is this?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Peace
Grig
