1 Learn the basics

Before you dive into the latest and greatest game engines, you need to have a solid foundation of the basic concepts and principles of game development. This includes programming languages, data structures, algorithms, design patterns, math, logic, and problem-solving. These skills will help you understand how game engines work, how to use them effectively, and how to troubleshoot and debug issues. You can learn the basics through online courses, books, tutorials, and practice projects.

There are two core concepts that you need to get familiar with and that will lay the foundation for any kind of game engine you end up working with/building: - C/C++, is the standard for the industry. It will help you grasp a lot of important questions (such as memory management and code performance) that are crucial for games. Even though we have engines coded in other languages, proficiency in C++ will probably enable you to learn pretty much anything else easier; - The second thing is to learn about a graphic library. It could either be OpenGL, Vulkan, or DirectX, but whatever it is, dive deep. Understand fundamentally how they work and what they do. Just pick one that you find interesting and go with it.

In game development, no one is solely "the idea person". They need some kind of technical or artistic skills to elaborate on those ideas. Preferably technical since that is the best way to demonstrate game concepts. Doing is better than showing afterall. The learning process for these kinds of technical skills is hard and intimidating. There are so many wonderful AND FREE resources on the Internet, it can be overwhelming. But with patients, you will eventually find a source that clicks with you. I have also found that people are eager to help out newcomers. So reach out within your network for help, if they are willing and able to of course.

2 Experiment with different game engines

There are many game engines available in the market, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, features, and limitations. Some of the most popular ones are Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, GameMaker Studio, and CryEngine. You don't have to master them all, but you should try to experiment with different game engines and see what they can offer. This will help you expand your knowledge, skills, and creativity, as well as expose you to different genres, platforms, and workflows. You can also compare and contrast the pros and cons of each game engine and find the one that suits your needs and preferences best.

Learning from what already exists is very important. I would recommend experimenting for the very least with Unity and Unreal, but Godot, GameMaker, and others (even text-based ones, such as Twine) can teach you a lot about how engines implement things, how they abstract some concepts, and their main strengths and shortcomings. Eventually, when you end up working on developing something on an engine, you will have a grasp on how to approach the problem based on your experience using other engines.

3 Keep up with the trends

Game engine development is influenced by the trends and innovations in the gaming industry and beyond. You should keep up with the latest news, updates, and developments in the field, and see how they affect game engines and game development. For example, some of the current and emerging trends are virtual reality, augmented reality, cloud gaming, artificial intelligence, procedural generation, ray tracing, and cross-platform compatibility. You should learn about these trends and how they are implemented in game engines, and how they can enhance your game projects and experiences.

4 Join the community

One of the best ways to prepare for the future of game engine development is to join the community of game developers and enthusiasts. You can find online forums, blogs, podcasts, videos, and social media platforms where you can interact with other game developers, ask questions, share ideas, get feedback, and learn from their experiences. You can also join local or online events, workshops, hackathons, game jams, and competitions where you can showcase your work, network with peers, and challenge yourself. The community can help you stay motivated, inspired, and informed about game engine development.

5 Be adaptable and curious

Finally, you should be adaptable and curious when it comes to game engine development. You should be open to new ideas, technologies, and opportunities, and be willing to learn new skills, tools, and methods. You should also be curious about how things work, why they work, and how they can be improved. You should experiment with different features, settings, and parameters, and see what results you can achieve. You should also seek feedback, criticism, and advice, and use them to improve your game projects and skills. By being adaptable and curious, you can prepare for the future of game engine development and make the most out of it.
