How to get better at scripting

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello,

I want to get better at scripting, but I can only self-learn and look for advice on here. My goal is to become a great developer.

I know making games is a great way to learn, but a lot of the time, I don’t know what to make.

Questions:

  • What are some effective learning resources for self-taught developers?
  • How can I come up with game ideas or projects to work on?
  • Any tips or best practices for improving my scripting skills?

I have some articles and videos that you can look into, regarding game development as a whole:

I would recommend starting with really small and simple projects. It helps you build a habit of finishing things, it lets you practice and experience every stage of game development, and it builds up your portfolio. You can always look on the forums, or elsewhere online, to learn better ways of optimizing or otherwise better methods for whatever you’re looking at. There are so many tutorials online for everything you can imagine. Just make sure to learn and not just copy things. Lastly, due it for fun. Don’t turn a fun hobby into a job, even if you want to do it for a living. That’ll come naturally in time, but worrying about that early will kill your motivation.

I will try this, thank you very much. I’ve had a habit of starting big game projects and then stopping because they feel overwhelming or I just couldn’t script it.
