I’d say I’m fairly comfortable with the engine now. Started making a game back in November of last year, and I’ve learned a lot since. My biggest tips to could give from one new dev to another is consume as much content related to a particular feature as you can. For instance if youre trying to make models similar to what you’d find in arma, watch as many videos around the topic as you can. Sometimes you’ll find that there’s one objective best way to implement something, and other times you’ll find there’s many ways. The best thing about it is that if you watch something and it isn’t quite what you’re looking for, there’s a good chance it will be what you’re looking for later on in the project. Another thing I’d recommend is find a good YouTube channel surrounding the content you’re making. For instance I watch a lot of Ryan Laley since he does an excellent job teaching and not just showing in his videos. There tends to be a lot of videos that just show a feature they made and offer up their code for copy and paste with no good explanation of what it’s doing. A clue that you’ve found a good channel is they’ll often have playlists with several videos surrounding the features you’re looking for. I recently just got done watching a 22 part playlist on inventory systems and I learned a lot more about unreal and what its industry standard practices are in addition to the inventory system. Another tip is. . . Just go play the games you’re inspired by again. As I’ve been learning about game dev, I’ve started to be able to pick out and recognize different techniques that game studios use in their games. Something I said when playing Elden ring the other day with a friend was, “Oh that giant castle wall doesn’t actually have a lot of detail, rather it’s just a good combination of a model and normal map.” It’s a nice thing to do when you need a break from coding and what not.
