This advice is spot on. Anytime I’m talking with someone at a meet-up who wants to learn gamedev, I advise them to make pong and add a new mechanic to it. If they can’t learn to do that, the odds of them making the game they envision is extremely low. I’ve been in the industry for twelve years and have done the indie thing very successfully, and I still have low confidence when it comes to making a game that is any good. I keep waiting for it to get easier, but every time it does your ambitions increase to match.
