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.
permission to be rude, your question is meaningless.
it is a hobby, the single most important factor is if you want to do it.
everything else if secondary. go, try, enjoy it, learn, improve…
it’s it the most “efficient” use of your time? that question is irrelevant, it’s a hobby not a job.
Go make a game, make a shitty game because you have no experience, but make that game.
I recommend pico8, I think it’s the simplest engine that isn’t a kids learning platform. has a low skill floor, but (given what some people make, someone ported Doom to that 2d engine) unlimited skill ceiling.
