Thats difficult, i have always wanted to get into making Country Music, I have always wanted to learn Drum’s which i am learning with the help of a drum teacher, and i get better every week, I have always wanted to learn to play guitar both Acoustic, Electric and Bass, I have always wanted to learn how to edit, mix and master music, Video Editing in both Premire Pro and After Effects, technicly i have no interest in video editing per se, but I see video editing as a skill i can develop and add to a “Digital Resume/Portfolio”, I have lightly touched on 3D Modeling using Sketchup and 3D Animation using Mine-Imator, and i thought it would make sense to increase my knowledge of 3D Animation and Modeling so I could not only add that to my “Digital Resume/Portfolio” but I could further Make Animation using rigs i make, I loved Looney Tunes as a child and i thought developing some skills in Digital Graphics and 2D animation would be usefull in “potentially” making something of a Looney Tunes inspired Web Series if you will, Creating and Editing levels in UE4 I definately want to get a firm knowledge and understanding of, because one of my many favourite game company founders/ex-employees, John Romero from ID Software made the levels to Doom(1993) and i love his level design(i would quote other “levels” i love, but that will take forever) so i want to get some knowledge in how to make levels and edit them in UE4, plus who knows i may end up doing a 1:1 recreation of E1M1 but with better graphics(actual photo realistic graphics).
I forgot the programming languages which i wanted to get into doing when i was in school, but i ended up never learning any programming because school was just not getting better for me, stressful times.
C: Doom(1993) mods are written in C and i got an idea for a Doom(1993) mod.
C++: UE4 uses C++, and alot of programs are made in C++ so to me it makes alot of sense to learn C++.
C#: I have been reccomended that I skip C and C++ in favour of this programming language simply because its more up to date, while that may in fact be true, i am unaware of anything that uses C#, but i figured, i may as well learn it, who knows maybe my knowledge of C# may be useful someday, i dunno how tho.
Java: Only one reason for me wanting to learn this, To Update and Create Minecraft Mods and Plugins, that is the ONLY reason i want to learn Java.
HTML, SQL, JavaScript, CSS, I do wanna try to learn how to make websites and all these are generally helpfull in acomplishing said task, do i have interest in making websites, technicly no, but to me there things worth learning.
Being fair i don’t want to learn Maths, Chemistry or Physics, HOWEVER, Learning mathematics will not only help me in programming but all the numbers involved in day to day life, so Maths in my mind is a mandatory skill.
Chemistry and Physics is just so i can better understand them as my current understanding is almost non existent, plus in a game i desire to make physics and chemistry play a big role in the game both directly(what you can do in game)indirectly(how certain things work and dont work within Chemistry and Physics themselves, a simple example being how physical things get affected based on mass, speed, etc and how some elements and chemicals either work or don’t work based on various variables)
That was alot to type, and no doubt alot to read.
I have my reasons for wanting to learn what i want to, my issue/s is:
I don’t have the patience(Example: I start learning C, i devote to it a week, then the next week i look at my progress and think, I’m not where i want to be, I should know this like the back of my hand by now)
I lack motivation(Example: I start learning C, three days later i think to myself “I better learn some more C”, then i end up realising how much i still have to learn then i think “Maybe tomorrow”(you get the idea))
I get intimidated(Example: I look at how much i need to learn of C before i master it and think "That is so much to learn, I’ll never learn all that, let alone master it)
I got the desire and enthusiasm to learn them, but i lack everything else, also I’m not very good at multi-tasking because when i try to multi task eventually i end up focusing on the one thing, That’s why I came asking those whom have learned whatever it is to tell me how should i go about self learning, how much time to one particular subject per day should I devote, https://forums.unrealengine.com/member/11397-franktech has a really good strat which btw i agree with that strategy and i will certainly give it a try.
i would ask when will i see results but seeing results depends on the individual, some may see results in 1 month, others 1 year some may take their whole lives.
