It's good to play new games
And they say playing games won't get you anywhere XD
Thank you for the insight! Those sound so tough, especially when competitions are everywhere. But if they are so easy then what's so cool about them, right? Starting a small project sound very, very tempting to me but since I don't know coding yet, I guess I'll learn little by little as I fill my character art portfolio :)
Yes, exactly!
Don't worry about coding. There are more programmers eager to work with graphic artists than vice versa ;) If you have a lot of nice concepts and graphics prepared to imply (and a story, of course) someone definitely will show up to help you with that :)
