Ive always wanted to make a video game but i feel too dumb to make one. Is gamedev worth looking into still even if im not the sharpest tool in the shed?

Or are there better hobbies out there for newcomers to the hobby space? I know most of you will say do what you enjoy, the thing is im not sure what i enjoy.

Idk if this goes here but i like the linux community as they are usually kind on lemmy.

    The beauty of game dev, is that you can make the most cursed codebase, and as long as it works, the only person itll impact is yourself.

    Also, startup costs are basically zero, there is no need for a top end PC, whatever you have now is probably good enough to start.

      Unless your true heart’s desire is a faithful Crysis II sequel…

        Faithful Crysis sequel, really. Crysis II was already better optimized than the original game IIRC (which made the assumption that clock frequencies would keep rising and they were trying to make the game only realize its’ full potential later after launch)
