I followed some video tutorials and made one or two game prototypes, but I’m not a professional programmer.
For this jam, I worked together with my programmer partner. I was mainly responsible for the design side.
After working at a game company for two years, I’ve learned that making a game usually requires many people working together. One person’s abilities are always limited.
If learning programming through YouTube still feels very difficult, then maybe programming isn’t necessarily the right path for you. You might become a great game designer instead of a programmer.
