Hey guys! I’m a teenager in high school. I’ve wanted to make video games for my entire life, and for a while I wanted to be a professional game designer. While I am looking more at being an engineer, I still enjoy video games. I’ve made a few projects before and trashed them all. I recently had dream about a game and I started working on it today. The idea is basically Minecraft if it did everything that people wished it would, like make life like villages and improve combat, but with realistic graphics. I’m making this project with my friend. I’ll add to this with new updates and screenshots. I’m hoping to finish making a small vertical slice in a couple of months. Leave a comment if you’re interested and feel free to give plenty of tips.

Hey there @Spec_Ops_Radar! Welcome to the community! One of the main reasons you haven’t seen another game with the scale and design of Minecraft is that it’s one of the most difficult genres to work with, especially for a beginner. This is incredibly ambitious, and I’d recommend starting with the tiniest pieces to get a handle on it to begin with.
To that end the first thing I’d say to look into is how you’d handle the procedural generation aspect. Voxel plugin has a free lite version that lets you create a voxel based world. You could take a look at using that or it’s paid version if you don’t want to handle the voxel generation yourself.
