Making a monster taming game

Hi I’m new to unreal engine I have been wanting to make a monster taming game but more like Digimon World Championship a auto battler with a life sim. any help would be great

Get google docs or trello or anything online that you will not lose when you reinstall windows. Make document and store in in the cloud.

Write down full idea of your game. Split it into separate parts.
Parts/modulees Like (if its multiplayer) game:

  • server
  • webpage for logins etc
  • actual game in unreal

Leave out boring stuff (or thing you do not want to learn yet)
then pick one module and split that into smaller pieces:
Make game in unreal (example of split):

  • make player that runs jumps
  • make enemy that does something
  • make autofighting system when they get near
  • make user interface

Repeat splitting until you find either tutorial how to do it or you get idea yourself
Do that piece of code. Pick next one.

Document all in trello, when you have idea about basic tasks add card there so you do not forget.

Then forget whole thing go back to it in 6 years and wonder how it all happened.
