Advice on getting started please.
I'm trying to get into game development with no starting skills and little knowledge, what all do I need? Also flat broke so can't buy any programs.
If anyone could help point me in the direction of what all I need to make games from the ground up, because I dont really like the idea of using free assets other people make if I dont have to. I'd rather try and learn how to do it myself.
I know the road ahead will be very difficult but I don't even know where to start and if I can at least get started with the tools I need, I can start making progress and get better.
I already learning to use Godot for my first couple games as my game engine.
I was thinking of trying to follow a tutorial to build aseprite so I have a way to make my sprites and all that.
I know I need something for the sounds/music of the game of course, but I dont have an idea or clue where to go for that.
Is there anything else really other than game engine, art program, sounds and/or music program?
Thank you so much for any help and time people give me in will greatly appreciate it. I'll be happy to respond to anymore questions anyone needs to be able to help me.
