Every day I get messages asking how Gyat.io is made, how people can get started in game development, and how to make a multiplayer game.

Ofc it's not easy to give general advice to everyone, everyone has a different background in programming, different levels of energy and motivation. But let me give you all some thoughts on the matter.

1. Use ChatGPT

ChatGPT can just now make the game for you, help you answer questions, this should be everyone's starting point.

Also I use Copilot in my editor as well.

2. Which Game Engine To Use?

I use Unity because I have lots of experience with it. When I was first getting started it was the easiest to learn. There's more examples for Unity than any other engine by far because of their Asset Store, sometimes you have to pay for the examples but that's much easier than figuring things out yourself. The goal is to get things done not to struggle.

3. You really want to do it, every day think about it, but just can't sit down and get started?

Work with a team and hold each other accountable. This was a game changer for me when I had these issues.

4. How to make a multiplayer game?

If it's your first game don't try to do multiplayer right off the bat. Make a single player game, it's easy to change any single player game to multiplayer game anytime when you got the basics down.

Hope it helps! Let me know if you found this interesting and want me to expand on the points or add more!
