Are the metro games open world like Stalker ? Been interested in them for a long time , but I ' m a broke bastard and tend to be very cautious about what games i get . <| sep |> Guess we can go to r <| sep |> I ' d say basically the same thing , but in a slightly different wayBy all means , make your dream game as your first game , if that ' s what keeps you motivated . but be prepared to get creative in terms of what you count and what you don ' t count . Wanting to make your dream game first doesn ' t mean that you can skip all of the learning projects it just means that you should think of the learning projects as part of the process of making your game , or as part of some other activity , rather than games in themselves . This is basically what I do . I ' m working on my first game now . That doesn ' t mean I haven ' t made a lot of your games to start with , sometimes in multiple engineslanguages , and many more besides and I don ' t mean working from a tutorial , either . I just have a certain set of standards that something has to meet to count as a real project and not just learning or messing around .
