I'm an indie developer looking to start coding in Unity, and I have some basic experience with Python and Lua. I'm wondering if I should learn Java before I focus on C#. I haven't learned much in C#, just the basics, but I know I'm interested in it. Since both languages are similar, I'm curious whether learning Java is necessary or if I can dive straight into C#. I have plenty of free time, so I'm open to learning both, but I'm not sure how switching between the two would work out.

You really don't need to learn Java if your focus is on C#. Both languages are pretty similar, but since you're into Unity, C# is where you should concentrate your efforts. You'll find that learning the core programming concepts is more important than jumping back and forth between languages.
But isn't Java still a good language to know for the future?
