So ive been told many time sto use godot becasue its for low end computers and it like unity but not. the thing is im not sure where to start or even whihc version of godot would be best to use. there another thing si cant code like at all i usally look up some code or let chatgpt do the wrok or expalin things to me but its usally not too good in that department. but i really want to make a video game and im not sure why or even how to start or what i should make, becasue i keep coming up with ideas that are way to complex.

do you have any tips, advice or something you would like to share with me by chance?

The biggest advice would be to keep the scope small-ish for your first game. It's easy to lose track/motivation when you're just starting out and are unable to see progress.

Heartbeast has made a sample project tutorial on YouTube for Godot 4 (Heart Platformer). I haven't tried it yet but his action rpg for Godot 3 was a superb tutorial. His other tutorials went in depth so I'm guessing this one will too. While chatgpt is a pretty neat tool you'll still have to understand what you are actually doing...

I would suggest you start with Godot 4 for new projects. Mostly since this will be the future of Godot.
