In addition to AstonJ’s said, there’s some websites such like “Codewars” where you can improve in any language you want to develop games. I suggest C# on Unity, but Python (despite I hate due a bad person self-proclaimed professor) I need to learn it and with a few days I improved it a lot and I am starting hating it less.
When you feel comfortable, start doing mini games (I did a Simon Says for Android, Star Wars inspired). And then keep doing more complex games I am doing Visual Novel with puzzles and investigations like Ace Attorney but there is a lot to learn for me so it’s unfinished.
Good Luck and hope we said you helps!

I would say that the most important thing to have is a strong intuition. I for example am terrible learning natural languages. While of course I’m doing my best for the work, everyday life outside country I’ve borned and so on, still I’m not trying to push myself too far.

I’ve heard that many people have a switcher making even their dreams being in different one than the first language. It may sound completely useless in daily life, but I don’t have such a switcher and I can see it’s consequences. I need to think in my primary language and translate everything in background - that’s why I often forgot about using a, an and the before words as in my primary language those have simply no equivalents. I may speak English, I may pass interview or not, I may live in other country, but I would somehow never feel comfortable and my talk would not be the smoothest one.

That’s why I think that intuition is the most important one. Secondly you have to do things that you like as things like experience would came anyway in future. As it was already said you need to practice a lot, but again it’s not a problem if you have intuition and you like thing you work on.

Start by learning the basics of game development through online courses or tutorials. Familiarize yourself with game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine, and explore fundamental concepts in programming and game design. Practice by creating small projects to build your skills gradually.
