Is it possible to create a high-quality game for free?

Hey, I am really wanting to get started in making my own game. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate currently, but I have a few questions.

  1. Is it possible to make a high-quality game without paying out tons for textures/models/actors and other stuff?
  2. Where is the best place to start?
  3. Is all of the programming done inside the engine? For example, pathfinding, “quests activating” etc

Thanks!

  1. Yes it’s possible but quite tasking. If you’re not going to pay for models/textures etc. you’re going to have to make yours by yourself.

  2. That depends on you and the game you’re trying to make.

  3. I believe all programming is done inside the engine, you could also use unreal’s blueprint.
