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.

    Even if you dont like it, no harm in trying it. Worst case you find you dont wanna do it and move on to something else.

    You can start with something like pico-8 or a free engine of which there are a ton: https://lexaloffle.itch.io/pico-8

    Me personally, ive been trying Godot and its kinda hard to get into, but I may try something else like RPG maker or what not just to get my ideas on paper so to speak.
