Ive always wanted to make a video game but i feel too dumb to make one. Is gamedev worth looking into still even if im not the sharpest tool in the shed?

Or are there better hobbies out there for newcomers to the hobby space? I know most of you will say do what you enjoy, the thing is im not sure what i enjoy.

Idk if this goes here but i like the linux community as they are usually kind on lemmy.

    Oh I agree. It’s lovely that you can just get started, all you need is a computer and an Internet connection.

    I just wanted to make sure OP’s expectations aren’t too high because some people get into it seeing the success of small team or even solo indie games like Minecraft (before Microsoft) or Stardew Valley and think that could be them. But those are results of a perfect storm of passionate people working on creative projects that people happen to like a lot, which also filled some sort of void in the game market. One in a million chance if you ask me.
