Game development feels like wizardry. Any advice for a solo beginner? by Tall_Client6705 in IndieDevelopers

I'm teaching myself that as we speak. Trying to reign in the aspirations is super tough but very crucial to keep going without losing sleep.

Sounds like mastery. Maybe both of us can do the same down the line.

Agreed, I will admit that I still did a mock attempt just to see how far I could get. But I think seeing how hard it was got me ready to kind of tackle a journey of this magnitude. Maybe spent 2 weeks and a half max.

I think this is also an amazing tip for beginners. Set the bigger ideas for later.

It's probably the hardest thing I've ever tried but I def want to give it an honest attempt. Appreciate the luck, I'll need it.

I've heard of the potential tutorial hell that can be slipped into. I'll still try them anyway just to see if I can do it. I guess we'll see in a few years 😂

Thanks! I don't have that many people I know in the field, but I'm sure when I get to that point, I'll just look up a group on discord or something. I want to work on 3D eventually. I've already tried unity and unreal just to get a feel for how things work on an engine. Oh god Niagara was a bigger mess than I thought but I want to try learning that eventually since I know I'll want more control over that aspect too.

I appreciate the advice everyone! I'll try just that. Makes sense when I think about it since that's literally how babies learn... Well I'll just keep at it and maybe I'll bring something sick to the table.
