**Join a Community**: Get involved in game dev forums or Discord servers. Places like Reddit’s r/gamedev or GameDev.net are great for connecting with other hobbyists. You can share your progress, ask for feedback, and even find collaborators for projects!

**Create Small Projects**: Don’t worry about making the next big hit right away. Start with small games or prototypes. Game jams, like Ludum Dare, are perfect for this. You’ll learn a lot and have fun in the process!
