Hello!

I've been thinking about starting game dev as a hobby/side project since I was in high school but never really had the time. I'm finishing uni in a few months and wanted to finally start learning the ropes but here's the problem - I don't know how.

I can do both 2D and 3D assets but can't really code. I never even had anything more complex than HTML in school lol. I can read simple code and generally feel like I understand what's going on with simple stuff that's already written but I can't write it from my head at all. I tried learning Unity for a short bit but it was a tutorial that relied on copying and pasting code without much explanation.

Back then Unity was the main choice for starters but nowadays I'm hearing Godot is better if I plan on staying indie, is that true?

What resources would you recommend for an absolute newbie? Any books, courses, tutorials, anything?

Hello,

I've started working on my fishing skill and got to the Bayou but it's going a bit rough. I don't seem to be dropping any junk (currently at level 11 or 12 fishing and managed to get just two single rusty coins) and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or just very unlucky lol

I have the regular fishing rod with the junk sinker, some enchants + the full angler set

Also, pretty much all the Bayou sea creatures are waaaay too strong for me so I just keep dying over and over. Should I just pause the fishing to work on my other skills in the meantime or are there any tips you would suggest to make things a bit easier for a newbie?
