Current Events > Can a man who doesn't know how to code make a full-length 3d video-game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm in the process of making a game. Right now I'm entirely focusing on the movement aspects of the player character. I will be heavily relying on stealing other people's code, hehe. Let's see how far I get before a major issue with this approach makes my game unplayable.

Yeah, make it on dreams alone

Stealing other peoples code is a big part of learning how to code tbf

Start making a small game.

Then make a bigger one.

"learning to code" is like 20 hours of yt videos.

jfc just learn to code.

you can, but you'll ultimately be restricted by the options given to you in whatever make-a-game environment you're using.

coding and scripting either give you more options (but ultimately keep you in that space) or they break it and that's really where things get interesting.

I'm actually on Unity.

I've tried in the past, but I have no intuition for coding. I've only ever made 2 pong games and 1 space shooter-type 2d game in Game Editor.

Isn't Unity pretty good with Visual Studio as the script editor for making a wide range of games? I thought even some major games are built on Unity.

it should be everything you need.

they are.

You watched the wrong 20 hours of YouTube.

It's a very specific set of videos, you see.

Realistically no, but Unity does have a lot of GUIs for creating game logic instead of manual coding. Not sure how far you can get with those convenience frameworks tho.

Don't you think it'd show?
