How much programming knowledge is necessary to get into Game Dev

Jevon · 2021-11-15T08:26:24

I'm currently stuck in the infinite loop of “I'll learn this, then I'll get started on my own game”. No matter what it is, I always end up thinking it isn't enough, and that I need to study a topic more before I'm ready to make my own game. How much programming knowledge do you need to know before you are capable of attempting to make a game? Or rather, what topics are the most pertinent to have a basic understanding of before taking on game development?

Don't worry about what you need, just do it.

If you have a C++ foundation, take a week to simply read the UE4 tutorial and video, and then spend a few days to determine what the game you want to make is like, and then Let's just start, if you encounter a problem, then look for a solution to the specific problem.

At least I did that, haha.
