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?

I would suggest just downloading Godot and following a few tutorials. That's how I got started anyways (well, with Unity but Godot wasn't half as good back then as it is today).

I would suggest watching the Godot Tutorials from Brackeys, because they are excellent: You could start with this one. If you want some more tutorials, maybey have a look at Gdquest (they also have a YouTube channel linked on their website, which is really good).

And most important of all, just try to not take it too seriously. Have some fun! Your games won't be good for a while, and that's OK, because everyone starts out this way. But if you really enjoy the process and stick to it, I am certain that you will create amazing things! And if you find out, that you don't like it, that's totally OK too, then you can just keep looking for other hobbies, because there are so many cool things to do in the world.
