Beginner C++ Programmer Looking for a Project to Hone Their Skills

Hello everyone,
I’m a beginner C++ programmer and Unreal Engine user looking for a project I could believe in and in which to hone our skills together.

To put this in perspective, I’ve tried this as an hobby in the past but it never panned out, so that little skills I might have acquired then is now long gone and forgotten.

To avoid giving you any Unreal-istic (:D) expectations, below I’ll list my expectations vs yours:

  • to me this would be an hobby, a way to try and move myself into putting my time to better use and improve myself rather than just playing video-games all day.
  • therefore the time and effort I would dedicate to it would be that of an hobby. Accordingly, I would expect a relaxed environment with no pressure.
  • that said, the time I put into it might also change depending on how much I would end up believing in the team and the project itself.
  • Most importantly, I would expect to be amongst serious and honest people. Other Adults, so to speak ( if you allow me to categorize myself as one, given I just play all day… xD )
    Nothing of the kind “I have this idea for a game, you go and make it”, or more generally any individual just trying to exploit someone else.
    If the project pans-out, fair Rev Share is a given!

Next, this is what you should expect:

  • you should expect to be working with an honest individual, with basic knowledge of the C++ language, which translates to: I’ve read through “Principles and Practice Using c++ 2nd Edition”.
  • Attention though - knowing the language syntax and how it works doesn’t necessarily mean “know how to program”!​
  • therefore, for all intents and purposes you should expect someone that knows nothing.
    Every new thing requiring implementing or solving, I would have to go and look up online tutorials or documentation, without prior knowledge.
    I would be learning as I do.
  • As an aside, I’m fluent in Italian and English, decent in Japanese and 3D Graphics.
  • And also shy - I won’t ever do video calls or similar, only text.

Hope I haven’t forgot anything.
But essentially, if you where a gardener, I’m just offering you a seed, you decide if you want to plant it in your garden and let it grow into a tree.

And even if it ends up not working out, we respectfully part ways and friends as before.

There is nothing to lose, so if that’s the same for you, I’m available.
Thank you.
