Interesting. Any examples of what a married developer can build in Unity these days?

I'd wager significantly less, if they aim to stay married.

Your significant other needs to have a hobby too... Help her or him find something that takes some time every day (my girlfriends paints and reads -a lot-, for example).

Have him/her make sprites. It'll be way more efficient.

A single married developer, not much. But a team of married developers maybe a lot.

I always think these comments are jokes. Are people serious?

I was thinking about skipping the Global Game Jam this year, and of all people, my girlfriend is the one who keeps saying that I should take the weekend off and do it anyway.

Admittedly we aren't married yet but I hope that will not change the part where she supports my hobbies!

Is this "What a single developer can do over two years of 80-hr/week work", or is it "What a single developer can do in their spare time over a few weeks"?

Well, getting help from the Unity asset store can go a long way.

I'd also be interested in knowing how much prior experience the developer has with Unity.

Very nice! Any pointers on how you converted it from Unity application to app?

There's an export option in Unity by default to turn your game into a packaged application. Tons of indie games harness this to create platform-specific binaries. There's even an export option for HTML 5/WebGL if you're into that.
