Me and my partner are in the same boat, they study Game Design at University and has been for 5 years while, i've only messed around in Unity and never made anything with substance for 5 years. We took this opportunity to finally get our head down and make something.
We had a lot of fun doing but it wasn't without stress. We had a whole board full of ideas with branches coming from those ideas, but by the time it came to make it, i learned that i overestimated my ability to randomly throw stuff together in Unity and i personally think it wasnt good enough. I pushed through however and we ended up with something that we are both proud of.
