<aside> 💡 This article goes on to explain one perspective of one technical, creative person trying to complete a game for the first time.

The Problem

I am an artist, first. That’s the “problem”. Most of the courses, tutorials, and how-to’s that I have found do not facilitate the understanding that I require. I need a hands on “let’s build it and I will show you along the way” type of instruction. Or maybe there is not a reference guide for the regular joe schmo.

The Issue

I need to know basic fundamentals without the uninteresting games

• I need lessons where it shows how I can use something in MY game not theirs
• “Attaching Scripts to Your Environment”
• “Making Doors Work”
  • basic tutorials that show us
  • Can do this with Unreal Engine

The Work Around

I try to ask GPT why and what not to do. In this pursuit, it explains things more than gives me the code I want. The results have been

• Writing Scripts
  • For loading Scenes
  • Changing Text
  • Playing Music

In addition, it’s also taught me simple dev tricks in Unity in order to make these things work. Like

• Attaching scripts to empty objects that are then attached to other objects
  • My QuestionLoader for Trivia! Royale

I don’t completely understand it at this point, but I understand the abstraction logic a bit.

Using ChatGPT can be a crutch or a tool. I use it as a tool.
