Hi gamers, well, I’m new here on the forum and I’m now just becoming acquainted with the UE4 engine. I’ve been watching a multitude of tutorials, and I’m hoping to gain a lot of friends in the game dev world. Any advice would be greatly appreciated to get me started around here; I’m particularly needing to know - where do I find project groups - or is there anyone here whom also has just started out, with a keen interest in game development, and yields a great game idea?
In terms of my programming background, I have some knowledge of both C# and C++, with only a little JAVA knowledge. I understand and appreciate UE4 is solely C++ based, and this I like a lot! My favourite game type is ‘Third-Person’ as I prefer to appreciate the character in view whilst still playing in a greatly developed game - such as Tomb Raider (my favourite Third-person game).
So to summarise for this brief opening, if anyone could point me in the direction of where to find current project groups (albeit however small), I’ll gladly appreciate the advice 
**The thing is, I want to begin alongside other newbies, as opposed to jumping into the deep end with those more advanced developers!
