Learn programming?
ive have been wanting to make games but im not sure what language or engine to learn, also it seems very daunting.
Just learn how to use unity (older c#). Once you start getting into that, you will probably know where to go from there.
Hehe. Just start with something that a lot of other people also begin with. Like Python. And get a nice book that takes you along the journey.
If you want to make games, there are lots of free engines out there. Like Godot for example. But I don't know if this is a good choice for a beginner.
Just try some. See what you like and what feels good. Watch some YouTube tutorials and find out what other people use to get an overview. Maybe have a look at free software / open source projects.
just learn chat gpt and github
I feel like that would just just increase my depression
Oh why? It needs quite some attention to detail... You can focus 100% and forget the world around you and forget all your problems. (I'm not sure if that is a good thing in the long run.)
But it is rewarding. You'll get a sense of achievement quite fast. And after some time you'll be able to do useful stuff. And it's usually a very creative thing to do.
