Well, im finishing school this year and i am leaned to begin a career as a game dev, i really like animations, modeling, cinematics, etc. but i never tried making any of these, also i have 0 experience in programming, i love playing games and thats why im choosing to start in this trade.

Please guys, advise me and give me tips to begin learning before starting university with 0 experience.

Thanks!

P.S: im bad at drawing

If you like animations, modeling and cinematics, and that's what you want to get into, then you need to get good at producing those types of work to a high degree of quality. That means you need to get good at producing art. The fact that you aren't good at *drawing* is concerning, though not a show stopping problem. Get better at it through practice!

Game programming has very little to do with the artistic side. The closest you'll get in programming to artwork is becoming a graphics programmmer, and most of that is more science related than art related (such as figuring out how light interacts with surfaces of different materials and shapes and distilling that into mathematical formulas).

My best recommendation is to pick up the book titled "Game Plan". It gives you a detailed synopsis of all of the various roles necessary to building and shipping a game. The roles aren't just limited to art and programming, there are tons of other roles and needs which need to be filled by people who know what they're doing! Check out the book and find the role which aligns most closely with your interests and skill set, then get better at that.

One thing to keep in the back of your mind: Video games are software. Game development is a subset of software development. So, getting good at various parts of the software development process will make you valuable as a game developer, and when you are tired of making games (which may happen based on industry statistics), you can move on to other sectors of the software development industry. You have a fall back plan for financial and career security!
