Does Unity 3D require programming experience?

There are many articles published on the internet that describe how easy Unity 3D is and that it does not require a lot of technical skills to develop a game using this software. This is very close to the truth. The fact is that Unity 3D is a software that has a low learning curve. However, in order to create a game one does require a lot of creativity and a dash of technical knowledge too.

It is possible to develop an entry level game based on the JavaScript modules, examples and API available. But this will not get you very far.

Unity 3D uses C# and JavaScirpt to develop a good and interactive game. Hence when developing a slightly high level and custom game, it does require some level of programming in one of these languages.
