Im trying linux, now im thinking of trying gamedev next. ive watched a ton of devlogs over the years, ive always wanted to make a game but im not sure i have what it takes?
Also is there a free engine i should study if someday i want to make a steam game or join some jam?
I’d try the Godot Engine if I were you, given you know how to program. If not, I recommend learning the basics of programing first.
I don’t want to sound discouraging, but for many it’s a lengthy process to make any decent game. That’s specially true if you want to learn about creating assets. As long as you do it for fun that doesn’t matter though. Point being: don’t expect to spend a month and create a hit. Just have fun doing it.
