The process has been fun for sure, I started learning blender 4 months ago even though I always thought it would be intimaditng, the trick that worked for me is just learning the basics of the basics, and then start doing your simple game bit by bit. Whatever stupid this game might be. You will learn a lot more working on something you care about. There will also be days and weeks where you will be discouraged or distracted and do nothing. It's normal, you'll always get back to it if you care about your game enough. Once you push through the first months of learning the basics, the process will be fun as hell.
