Not sure if this goes here or not? but ive dabbled a little here and there with different things but i lack like every skill to make a game. Im wondering what aspect or skill is worth getting better at, for gamedev?

I cant code, i cant draw/3d art, i cant make music, im bad with ideas, etc.

Where do i even begin or what would you advise?

    One thing that is definitely not computer related, so probably not a good advice, is to not design a video game, but a card game or boardgame.

    That can take month (hell, mine has been in the works for a couple years now), but you get to learn to design mechanics, systems, rules, crappy placeholder art, and so many things, which can then be used latter as experience for game design.

    I’d recommend doing a simple card game that people can print with paper (Print n Play games are quite common on the Internet).

    Take a mechanic, mood, or simple idea:

    • A game where player are together trying to solve a murder mystery (cards with plots, Clues, interrogation, maybe something inspired by Clues but updated,…).
    • a game where player compete to build a small fortified city, and then send armies to each other to pillage resources and money.
