Just recently I started looking into c# and unity. I learned java a few years a go, but not to a degree where I would say that I’m a professional or something like that. So maybe let’s just say I’m a complete beginner.
I never developed any game or things like that but I’m highly interested in it and have some ideas(guess most of the people have these, tbh) that seem realistic and not too hard to accomplish as far as I can tell.
My question is: What do you think, usually I love the whole solving-problems-part of programming but I as well love to have people to talk about these problems because this always brings up new ideas or approaches on solving the problems. Would it be a good idea to look for a group of “developers”?
Either beginners like me to get some knowledge together or some people with experience so I can learn more from the team?
Or should I just practice for myself with small games in the first place?
I know this always is a matter of perspective. so just tell me your honest thoughts about it.
And, you might have guessed it, I’m not a native english speaker, but I hope it’s at least sufficient.
Best regards
-You can’t depend on anyone unless you’re paying them.
-Prototype again and again and again. It’s not a game worth pursuing unless you can have fun just interacting with it. This is Nintendo’s approach and they seem to be doing well for themselves. They spent months and months on just Mario’s mechanics before doing anything else.

Join us for this fun and exciting event designed for emerging intermediate Unity users, aspiring game developers, and everyone who’s completed the course or live version of Create with Code.
In this jam, you’ll build a game with a team (or fly solo!) that can serve as a portfolio piece that you can showcase to potential employers.
We’ll start jamming on Friday, October 23 at 9am PT and support you throughout the weekend with tips, tricks, and feedback as you develop your game. Final submissions are due Sunday, October 25 at 5pm PT.
We’ll announce winners in a number of categories a week later, when the instructors will play the winning games live!"
You could also join the Unity discord if you are interested in trying to find other people to work with too.
