Not sure if this goes here or not? but ive dabbled a little here and there with different things but i lack like every skill to make a game. Im wondering what aspect or skill is worth getting better at, for gamedev?

I cant code, i cant draw/3d art, i cant make music, im bad with ideas, etc.

Where do i even begin or what would you advise?

    Make a card game or board game. Start with an idea, then play test it until it’s fun.

    The fundamentals of game design are:

    • there needs to be a goal or way to win
    • all elements of the game either help the player reach the goal or hinder them
    • a theme like vampires, soldiers, fishing, abstract can help drive the above.

    Something to consider is how players and the game interact. Do the players interact directly or only with the game. So they play against each other or cooperate to beat the game itself.

    1. Design a game
    2. Make it
    3. play test it
    4. add or remove elements to increase fun
    5. repeat

    I recommend starting with a card game. Take a piece of paper, scissors, and a pen.
