By ‘expert networking skills’ you mean what?
Because some 3 months ago I was told I also needed expert C++ skills to make a singleplayer game on Unreal4 (I knew C well). They said a game was “an immense project”, that I just couldn’t do it, that the world was going to end yada yada yada.
Then I studied a lot of C++ and it’s been easier than most people said it would be.
Just out of curiosity 
did you actually do a game then with your new found C++ knowledge ? I mean a complete and polished one , not “follow the epic tutorial” kind of game.
