any tip around gamedev will help even how to use time in a more effective way
Evok my Friend , That's the thing with being new
it takes you a lot of time to do simple things because you have no experience with GameDev , but i can help you with one thing i know
is to just make a simple game with the skills you have , that's it! doesn't matter how bad it is , every game developer was once at your place knowing nothing about GameDev
Skill takes time....
you should not let your expectations/scope exceed your skills , or you would just give up instead of having fun , you would end up treating your GameDev like it's your job.....
Hope i helped.
In game development, the way you think is essential and doing the same stuff over and over again isn't just time wasted, it's practice that will help you in the next project.
For example, in my 5 years of game development, I have never made a day-night cycle ( basic stuff ) but I've made camera and player control scripts from tutorials so many times that now I can make one from scratch without using the internet.
So 2 basic things, try to think like a developer and don't be afraid to do the same thing more than once, also everybody makes mistakes and everyone gets blocked at some point, don't worry and you can achieve anything.
