This video walks through my transition from a game designer without coding skills to making games on my own. I'll show you the "Three I's" method - a straightforward system I developed to help beginners learn game development fast.
Can't figure out how to make games because you lack technical skills? Been there. Through years of trial and error, I've boiled down game development to three core skills you need to learn:
1. Input - Players press buttons, you make stuff happen
2. Interactions - Game objects bump into each other and react
3. Instancing - Creating and removing objects as needed
Stay till the end for a step-by-step plan to master these three essential skills you need to start making games today.
