    If you really want to make a game then gamedev is for you.

    There really isn’t any way to start and be good. Your taste will exceed your skills at first. This is a painful period where you will find out if you enjoy the process or the idea of the finished product.

    If you can’t code or do art, maybe Godot or Unity might be a bit too much. Start out with something like löve some indie classics have been made in it and it’s a great way to start learning to code and create simple assets.

    Start out recreating simple arcade games. These are so full of teachable moments it’s like a cheat code for getting good.

    If you can make something with a start screen, a game loop and a game over screen, you’ve got a game. You’re a game dev. Everything else, if you haven’t lost your mind yet, will go well.

    PS. Please, for the love of god, if you are still in school, pay attention to geometry. If there is anything I could go back in time and do pay attention in math class.
