Not OP, but I have spent the last two years getting into Gamedev using unity (the engine he mentions starting out on)

It’s such a cliche, but just start! Find a tutorial for any type of game you want to make and follow it. At the start it’s going to be frustrating and you won’t really understand anything that’s going on.

But eventually programming just clicks, genuinely you go from not having a clue to feeling like you can make anything out of nowhere!

There are loads of good tutorials online both series and individual lessons. I particularly like a guy called Brackeys

Take it from someone who has never been talented at anything and now has confidence to build anything. You can do it!

Troubleshooting is a part of programming and it’s all googling errors and knowing what to look for.

If you were to walk into the Facebook offices and look at the engineers they will all be googling a lot of the issues they have even though they’re some of the most talented engineers in the world.

It’s a irritating part of the process but it’s so satisfying when you finally fix that bug that has been plaguing you for so long haha.

I think if you get to the point where you are concerned with how you will continue supporting a game, it means you have already accomplished so much and with that in mind it shouldn’t hold you back
