Game dev noob

<a href="https://develop.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://develop.games/</a> Check this out… I’m sure it will help you !!

First step: Make a game
Not kidding, once you start you will know what you are lacking, do you need a character? Okey what kind of art? 3D? Can you get it from the internet, and if not can you make it yourself? And so on and on and on… It’s a big area, so be patient with yourself

You can use many engines to start experimenting, I started making python text-based games, then moved on to GameMaker, which is pretty intuitive and user-friendly for newcomers in gamedev, also providing a good amount of tutorials for you to start learning. Or also Unity is very good to start developing, it may take a while specially getting used to c#, but there’s tons of tutorials and documentation (I recommend Brackeys youtube channel for starters)

I am new also. I am starting with boot.dev platform. It shows you how to program with Python in a fantasy game format. I learn better by doing.
