What kind of game is this? How should I begin?

Getting Started

Basically the kind of game I want to make is a crafting, adventurey-management 3D game. A casual game the player can take at their own pace.

I want to make a game where the character begins from scratch with their own shack kind of house. I’d like it to be explorable towns etc, but I need to figure out how to do a collecting system, maybe mining, inventory, and upgrades to make their own way weapons/armour.
I would like implant a time / day night cycle with certain enemies at night too.

Would it be too complex?
I’m a beginner–but I have been making up coding in my head for it but I’m not sure. I’m away from my pc at the moment so I’m just thinking how it would go.

Something basic like “if “item a” amount is in inventory” then “activate craft (a+b=c) = success.” etc

Obviously it wouldn’t be that way but I’m trying to find tutorials and I’m not sure what direction to go in. I don’t know what kind of game that’s considered though.

Any assistance is appreciated!
Sorry if I didn’t explain well enough! D:

Always start with the tutorials on this site. You can find them under the Learn menu.
For how much it sucks you have to create games you dont want to create first before you can carry on with what you do want to make.
The good thing is you have a concept of what you do want to make so whilst running through the tutorials on this site you can be picking up ideas on … oh that concept and how to do that would fit my game…

Hope this helps and good luck to you.

I did try to do that and I’ve been searching around YouTube for great tutorials too. One thing I found though while looking in the learn section was that the textures page in one of the videos - it was a manual- didn’t exist so I got confused from that. :face_with_spiral_eyes:
