As a guy with almost zero coding knowledge and/or experience how do I unironically into indie game development? I have a pretty solid idea for the next best indie game. I'm looking to create a linear pseudo open world rpg experience with a engine similar to Telltale where your choices kinda matter but not really, I also want to possibly incorporate multipleplayer into the campaign. Any advice is appreciated.
>>
Do you have artistic skill at least or are you a pure idea guy?
>>
if you have to ask you're never going to make it. sorry
>>

I have some artistic skill, I'm a pretty good writer, but I'm a novice at best when it comes to digital art.
>>
Indie games are usually 2d pixel art because anything more advanced is too expensive to make. You could try an isometric view.

>if you have to ask you're never going to make it. sorry
Well I kinda figured that much, but I'd rather take a shot and miss than never shoot at all

try writing some code then

except you're not shooting anything
you're cowardly putting your finger on the trigger and waiting for someone to tell you to take it off

>>106463679
2D pixels seems more feasible for My lack of skill however I don't want to sell myself short of something great. I want to implement 3D design but lack skill for 3D modeling, should I outsource this? Or grind my into figuring it out?

ok retard you posted on v also what is the source for the image?

Well how do I into game coding anon? The only experience I have with coding is a 1 day class on html I had in my computer class back in Highschool.

You can use cursor or Gemini, you will have to pay though.
You don't need retarded programmers to create your game, that's what luddites never mention.
>>
>>106463772
install unity, do a quick 101 on c# and start following some tutorials somewhat related to what you want to do or that you think you want to implement in your game (e.g. third person character view, inventory system, vehicles, spells, enemies)

Thanks anon

you're delusional if you think you can make anything more than a barely functioning flappy bird clone using AI without understanding what the code it's generating does
>>
>>106463832
Nah you sound that you don't know how to use AI. Plus you're a luddite, therefore, retarded.
>>
>>106463733
Making the art direction look good in 3D is a lot more work. You should look at Unreal Engine 5 and its premade assets.

This is a really bad question. You don't even have an outline or idea worth doing.

Are you an idea guy?
Write it down.

Are you a story guy?
Write it down.

Are you an art guy?
Start drawing.

Are you a design guy?
Start designing.

Are you a developer?
Start grinding tutorials.

Are you a gamer?
Start playing a game that resembles your ideas.

Are you a music/audio guy?
Start recording.

Are you a business guy?
Start writing a business plan and proposal.

Are you clueless?
Start defining what do you want.

Even a half assed attempt teaches a lot more than just asking around.

so basically what you're saying is that you don't have any of the skills required to actually make a video game and would rely on other people to do all of it
>but muh writing
that's completely domain-independent. it doesn't help you create specifically a video game from the idea one bit. to get ANY of the actual content done you need other people. it's also the thing that is most easily automated by AI by far
