Hey, i am new to this whole game development thing, and i decided that I want to try and create my very first solo game. I want it to be an RPG with magic elements/system. The game will be in 3d. As for source of inspiration i really love Harry Potter and other shows which have a magic system. I intend to make the game in such way that the player will have freedom when it comes to playstile: What powers do they want to control, what help they want to receive from NPC, what crafting they want to do. I know it’s like most RPG out there, but i am trying to make it as enjoyable as possible.
Can you give me some feedback or some pointers ?
What you’ve described sounds tremendously ambitious and likely to throw up challenges you don’t know how to solve. Have you programmed before? You need the same mindset, in being able to look at problems and separate them into smaller, more achievable chunks.
You should consider starting with Unity’s “Learn” section. https://learn.unity.com/

That’s a large project that requires a decently sized team and a lot of funding.
A good idea woukld be to start with unity learn, like EternalAmbiguity suggested, and make smething small.
As others have said your idea sounds like a big complicated game which any beginer would struggle with. I would advise you to do the Create with Code tutorial in Unity learn if you haven’t already. Then think about what simple game you may be able to manage. An idea for your RPG game is start one do all you can with it practice your ideas and keep building on it as you learn more. Thats what I’m doing with a car racing game.
Make the roll a ball game and get some VFX from the asset store to add to the ball. You can then play as a magic ball from teh harry potter universe that goes around doing magic ball things. That’s a big first step.
