I tend to dream big alot and i tend to want thing sinstantly with this age of tech and it can be annoying at times. i even reaserch thing sbut never do them i wonder if ther eis a way to dream small and what might that look like?

like i want to start a youtube channel with my low-end pc and my fmaily says it dosent hurt to try but im not sure, i want to do gaming but everyone does gaming and im very limited with my pc, etc i could go on but i wont.

my interst will probrably change to something tommorow which is annoying.

    Exactly. I’ve always wanted to build a big 3D game, and here’s what I’ve done already, and what I plan to do:

    1. learned software dev on the side
    2. built small games on a website
    3. went to school in software development and hit a job
    4. learned basic 3D modeling and modeled basic things (my house mostly)
    5. built basic 3D game to load models into - learned a bit of Unreal Engine, Unity, and Godot
    6. did nanowrimo to learn how to construct stories
    7. bought a 3D printer so I could print some of my models/motivate me to make more models

    I’m attacking my goal from multiple angles. I still suck at 3D art, but I know enough that I can build enough to get by. The main thing I lack now is time, but all the while I’m whittling away at my dream. I have some partially built games, most of which are blocked by not having enough 3D models (which I’m slowly building).

    I’ll probably never actually make a big 3D game, but I’m having a ton of fun and learning a lot on the way. If I ever get really serious about it, I’ll probably hire out the 3D modeling, but I still enjoy the challenge for now.
