oh boy howdy howdy

i know little to nothing about game design and programming but i am a seasoned artist and am a huge gamer always have been

i recently got a very small taste of the industry if you can even call it that from the last UE4 game jam i helped with voice acting concept art writing and vector art

i absolutely loved it and am already itching to learn and do more but??? i have no idea how to go about it

the person i was working with during the game jam is years ahead of me and is already looking into getting me into some contract work and teaching me 3d modeling/painting/sculpting but at the moment hes currently busy with making a game for RTX!

while hes busy i thought id delve into some forums and get my feet wet 

any info or tips on how or where to get started would be amazing thanks!

Considering your're already an artist you can give Game Maker Studio a try. It has drag and drop, but also has its own language: GML.

Even though you've worked on a project that was made using UE4, it's not something a beginner will touch due to the C++ requirement, unless you're able to learn Blue Prints well enough.

Otherwise pick up C# and learn Unity.
