Hello guys. I've been considering switching from RenPy to Unity for my next game, even though it might be counterintuitive. I still want to create a VN, but I also love branching stories, or, at least, stories when the player has a degree of freedom in deciding secondary stuff (whom to romance, what to wear, etc.). That is obviously not realistically doable in RenPy, as the needed renders would grow exponentially. So my attention came to Unity.
The problem is, I have no experience in coding games. I am not an expert in programming languages, even though I'm not a complete beginner either. I am familiar with Python and R for work reasons. But... yeah... who would even make a game in R? So... no experience in coding games.
Basically I want to make a VN with a degree of character customization, and with the possibility of making player's choices matter a bit where without having to render an unrealistic amount of pictures. Also, another interesting feature of Unity is that I could use Filament to render scenes.
So, I'm asking to those who know programming if it is worth learning to code in Unity (I guess Java or C#?) to this kind of project. I know there will be a learning curve, but not that hard hopefully.
