I wanted to become a game developer for some time, and even tried following some tutorials for making video games, but i quit it due to not understanding the coding part, i did not really understand what i was doing.

Now i know a lot more about programming, but mostly just in java, however, i dont think it will be very difficult to learn new language, as now i understand many concepts of programming in general.

I want to learn to make games on godot, which i chose because it is quite popular and has a lot of documentation, tutorials, guides and community, which should be very helpful, especially for newbies.

As for a newbie in game development, what advice would you recommend me follow, to easily get in the gamedev? Maybe its some guides, some example or test projects, or something else, which i dont know about yet, everything will be helpful.

I would advise using a game engine and trying to make very simple game with it ( like chess ). Once you start to get it think about trying some gamejam with people ( be sure to tell them you are a newbie ).

If you are looking to try specific tools, godot is often use in gamejam and has a lot of tutorials.
