Where Do I Start?
Sometimes it can be difficult to get started. Is this for me?
The important thing is to set small goals and stick with it. Here you'll get a brief overview of how you can start with game development. Choose a tutorial and/or game engine or framework of your choice and get started. You don't need to know everything. You don't necessarily have to watch the video for it. You can do it!

Excited to watch your journey!
Excellent video quality. You deserve more subs! A small remark, we can see that you're reading the script when you stop looking at the camera. Try to learn one or two lines of your script by heart and then record, and don't stop looking at the camera. Since you're already doing cuts, that shouldn't be a big deal ;) I'm curious to see your progress :)

Thank you! :)
I am more of an artist type of person and for me to start coding is difficult and not exactly know what to do. I have game ideas and I could possible do some simple things but I don't know the basics.

for me its the reverse. i suck at art but coding just feels right to me

When learning programming I think ChatGPT could be very useful to learn things asking it questions you don’t know or don’t understand :)

However ai does a lot of mistakes so keep that in mind when using it. Should be enough for basic things though :)

@@foxidgamedev I am aware of that because I testing it time to time. However I only have the freebie version of it and beyond 2022 there is no info so may I need to get the premium version.
Would it be beneficial to learn GDscript before i start learning how to use the actual godot engine?

No, I think it is possible to learn along the way using the engine. Programming basics can be learned before though, but I would start in the engine and learn the things needed instead of spending time about what the language is capable of. Something like variables, statements and functions are enough to start creating your game and learn more and more :)
People be listening to that Jonathan Blow whinging where he gets off on making the process artificially difficult for little to no productivity gains.
Making your own engine is the most interesting thing. You know exactly how your game works and how to expand it. Games made with engines look and feel so similat to each other these days. Specially the "lower levels" games. Everyone making the same game too. Its fine to learn things, I guess, but back in days games had so clever things going and they look like their own thing. Of course there is exceptions, as always.

if you consider yourself beeing more of a game engineer thats absolutely fine I think. I tried building engines in the past, wasn’t for me. I need more visual stuff going on :)

@@foxidgamedev Yup. I think it might also be generation thing. At least for me. I just cant get my head around ready made engine/editor. I just had to know everything that going on and all of the order things are happening. I'm planning to try out Godot at some point, but might take me a while to figure it out. And for now, I really like the idea that I can make something "out of nothing". Line by line. And knowing it works and that I made it by my self. But what ever works for who ever, I guess.

The problem could be that it could take years or even decades to make an own game engine. Why wasting so much time if all already exists in Unreal or Unity ?

@@paluxyl.8682 Why wasting time to do something that is fun and exiting? As I said, for me, the fun part is to figure it out how to make a system work. System that I created. And I talk about pretty simple 2d things here. Something you can put together in few days or few months. Its fun for me to do and learn new things while doing. If someone else enjoy Unity, or Unreal, or what ever, thats fine too. What ever works.
