Like the title says. I don't know how to program or what even goes into making a game. Does anybody have a good guide, study class, or even videos that can teach me how. Also good programs to use like unity or unreal or whatever makes vidya games tick.

Haha that sounds fun! FPS controls are really tough unless you're good with math (head bobbing, relative rotations, etc need a fair amount of math), but the rest sounds fine-ish. I have no experience with multiplayer but I’ve heard it’s really tough. Splitscreen is ok if you take some time to ensure that the tech side of things doesnt depend on the player being “unique” (this happens quite frequently in games otherwise)

Ahh, good to know, maybe that type of game would be best created as a mod of some other multiplayer FPS, just so the networking stuff doesnt need to be touched

I've definitely played some indie games where it'll be like "whoops, two players on the same router? We haven't figured that out yet, go download Hamachi"
