(warning lots of wordy words)
I feel like i stink at everythign and im limited to what my low end pc can do it use to be an office pc but it got refurbished and whatnot (still low end). I usally just go to chatgpt to learn coding and youtube too but i guess thats the lazy way of the coder and i use chatgpt to code to becasue i stink at everything. i have no talent, skills or good hobbys and im dylexic and autistic but yet for some reason and im not sure why i want to make a game. I just feel very lost with things like wanting to make a game i even made a post asking what engine or framewrok i should use most said godot, python, love2d mostly but im not sure how to start its like some werid form of writters block with the fear and guilt of failing gamedev. i tried making a endless runner in godot but i coudent get the player to stand on the platform without falling thru so i raged quite and gave up… but i still have the urge to create or be creative.
Especially for game developers game-jams are a great way to prevent scope creep and actually push towards a deliverable at the end of the timeframe.
And by signing up in advance you have something to hold yourself accountable with.
That being said, as a game dev, or developer in general, you need to be pretty frustration resistant. Even as a senior dev you still have these situations. Most often it’s the dev that’s wrong, not the computer (or third party library/framework/engine).
I’d also advise against using chatgpt and instead go for some basic coding Tutorials first.
