1 Know your goals

Before you dive into learning a game development framework or engine, you should have a clear idea of what kind of game you want to make, who is your target audience, and what are your technical and artistic requirements. Different frameworks and engines have different strengths and weaknesses, and some may be more suitable for certain types of games than others. For example, if you want to make a 2D platformer, you might consider using Phaser, a framework that supports HTML5 and JavaScript. If you want to make a 3D shooter, you might opt for Unreal Engine, a powerful and popular engine that supports C++ and Blueprints.

2 Choose a learning resource

Once you have decided on a game development framework or engine, you need to find a reliable and updated learning resource that suits your learning style and level. There are many options available, such as books, online courses, tutorials, blogs, podcasts, and forums. You can also check the official documentation and community of the framework or engine you are using, as they often provide useful information and support. The key is to find a resource that explains the concepts and features of the framework or engine clearly and practically, and that challenges you to apply what you learn.

While books can be useful, they can also be a tricky resource to use when learning game engines –?since they can quickly become outdated as new versions of the engine are released. But there is no shortage of up-to-date articles, tutorials, and video courses online. Video courses, in particular, offer a great way of learning. Some excellent examples include: - YouTube - LinkedIn Learning - Udemy However, a word of caution. The amount of quality learning resources online can vary depending on your choice of engine and the amount of support the community around it offers. Some engines have a larger and much more enthusiastic community. That could make a difference when you inevitably get stuck somewhere.

3 Start with the basics

Learning a game development framework or engine can be overwhelming, as there are many aspects and details to master. Therefore, it is important to start with the basics and build a solid foundation. You should focus on understanding the core concepts and principles of the framework or engine, such as how it works, what it can do, and what are its limitations. You should also learn the basics of the programming language and the editor that the framework or engine uses, such as how to write, debug, and run code, how to use the interface and tools, and how to import and export assets.

However, understand that while it may seem overwhelming initially, you do not have to master all this to start making progress. Your skills will develop organically as you follow along with learning resources and build projects. What’s most important is to just start somewhere and spend even just 15 minutes daily immersing yourself in this journey.

4 Practice with projects

The best way to learn a game development framework or engine is by doing. You should practice with projects that are relevant to your goals and interests, and that challenge you to use the features and functions of the framework or engine. You can start with simple and small projects, such as a pong game or a calculator app, and then gradually move on to more complex and larger projects, such as a platformer or a puzzle game. You can also follow along with existing projects that are available online, or modify them to suit your needs and preferences.

5 Seek feedback and help

Learning a game development framework or engine is not a solo endeavor. You should seek feedback and help from others who are using the same or similar framework or engine, as they can offer you valuable insights, advice, and support. You can join online communities, such as Discord servers, Reddit groups, or Stack Overflow forums, where you can ask questions, share your work, and learn from others. You can also participate in events, such as game jams, hackathons, or workshops, where you can collaborate with other developers, test your skills, and have fun.

Maintaining a consistent and sustainable approach to learning is crucial. It's common for people to overcommit at the start, leading to a rapid loss of momentum. Often, this can backfire, causing some to quit altogether. It's equally important to concentrate on a few well defined goals and learning resources. Ensure that the time you invest in learning is focused on quality rather than quantity.

Please don't spend too much time deliberating over which engine to begin with. Starting with the educational materials you've selected is more crucial, and go along with the Engine is used. It's key to dive in and get going, you can always switch to a different Engine later, once you've grasped the basics and foundational aspects.
