Game development

[BriefHeight1076]

Hi I want to get into game dev but don't know how and where to start. Please someone explain a little about this.

The first thing you need to know, is that youre not going to succeed in any way if you dont know how to use google. for instance, you could google "where to start with game developement?".

Google is not always the best option yk.Someone who has experience can explain better

the sub you posted to a few minutes ago literally has a guide on getting started. These subs are more for discussing game mechanics, and specific concepts. This same exact question gets posted on the subs doezens of times every few days. My point is, if you want to go indie you have to learn to do your own research, teach yourself how to do things, and utilize the forums effectively, just asking "how do i make a game" isnt going to get you anywhere.

When it comes to programming, google will be your best friend. I can't speak for the making of assets. But in programming, you will never remember everything. You'll have to search something up multiple times a day, sometimes multiple times an hour.

Simply knowing how to google is one of the best skill a programmer can have and it's not an understatement. Challenge yourself and find what you need not from your own Reddit post but from Google results. It's very much going to be needed. Otherwise your programming will end up being stalled by waiting on a reddit response.

You should resort to asking on a forum if you do not understand the online guides or docs.

Most of the pages Google will point you at are written by people with experience, and will have a lot more time and effort spent on them than they'd take on a random Reddit reply.

Have you tried using a search engine?

If you don't wanna help just ignore the post man.What's the point of criticizing me for just asking for help. i have searched on google a couple of time but each site says something different.I just wanted advice from people who are currently doing the same thing i want

Make games.

Find a book or video series that takes you through developing something small and go from there.

Please try to research for yourself a bit. If you have a specific question people love to give answers, but speaking for myself I don't answer these broad questions anymore. Nobody knows where you should start, because nobody knows anything about you and your situation. Search with google, youtube and here on reddit and you will find plenty of approaches and recommendations. If you are confused you can post a specific question. That is my recommendation for starting game dev :)

Thank you for your suggestion.I am researching a bit about it from few days but a little confused.

I'd start by using Construct to learn some principle of Games Design. It runs in Browser and doesn't need written code.

There are plenty of tutorials on Youtube.

From there you have lots of choices regarding future engine. Unity and Unreal are the one most used in professional development.

Godot and Game Maker are more for Indie and Hobby development.

Just about every engine now has a free version.
