Next week I want to learn C++ for making games in Unreal, but I don’t know what games should I make, so that I can make game by myself and can sell it for playing on PC.
If someone had recommendation, please let me know.
Hi there, fellow Indonesian. I’ll give you some advice from my 3 years experience of using Unreal Engine:
Don’t think much about C++ code if you’re just starting out. Unless you already master C++, making games with Blueprint only is not a bad option. It’s a good way to get yourself used to the engine, and how games works in general. Craft something in Blueprint and let the engine do the rest of the coding.
Start out by learning and analysing other video games you liked. Learn how other developers do their thing in their games by messing around in the game. Take note of what you’re learning.
Try to put what you’ve learned from other game into your project. Imitating other games is good for learning. But don’t sell your practice projects, otherwise the internet will bully you.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with the engine. Go wild, explore the engine as you like. The more you explore, the better. Don’t afraid of wrecking the engine. If you wrecked your project, you can always take note of what went wrong, and create new project files.
If you want to sell your game, consult other developers to help you out along the way. It’s a tough world in the video game market, so get to know other developers older and more experienced than you, and seek for their guidance and assistance. Developing video game isn’t about ego, it’s about creative teamwork.
Good luck on your endeavours, and happy developing! Hone your skills, and hopefully one day, you can make a breakthrough in the industry.
