Like the title says, I’m not an established developer. I am a lurker who found this place. I’d like to spend some time tinkering with the unreal engine.
Of course, I have ideas for video games – but I have no programming experience. Should I go somewhere else to learn how to program before coming back here to contribute to all the specific technical questions being asked?
Nope! Just YouTube and reading documentation. The above link is a good source of tutorials, I found it helpful when I was starting out, along with some other people. As someone who also came from a non-programming background you may find these tutorials also helpful as I go over the basics of creating game play mechanics but focus more on the logic and the reason behind what I am doing, which I would have found helpful early on in my learning.
