So i may or may not get into game dev but im thinking of using a fantasy console becasue of lua or maybe godot becasue everyone says to use godot i guess. ive treid running unreal, unity on my low en dpc but they just dont work also there not really open source and open source is cool. i havent really made a game before i usally just copy and paste code from the internet or chatgpt… also id ther eanything else you want to share like what are beginner ideas, how didi you learn, or whatever thing you think of.
im not even sure if i want to get into game dev or not but it seems interesting.
Starting a project that’s going to hold your interest is one of the best ways to learn. Start with a manageable project. I knew one guy that started with a 3d spaceship design game. Something like Space Engineer. He burned out super quick. Start with like pong or something that you could feasibily have working in a few weeks. Little successes keep you focused.
I’m also going to say that game dev jobs often aren’t great. Games are a great way to learn coding skills, but instead of trying to pick the very best have engine try making a game in a language that’s easily portable to other job skills.
But like I said, I’m not a game dev so take anything I say with a grain of salt.
