You could try learning a programming language and helping with some open source software projects (or start your own). I would recommend Rust since it has very good tooling which cuts down on the tedious bits and it is a very well liked and used language (Lemmy is written in Rust as well).
ive tried but i just cant no matter how hard i try i cant and games interest me more like gamedev and such but i litteraly cant code.
There are some game engines where you can make a game without needing to write code, you can do the programming with 'blocks'. Some smalltime devs are actually making impressive games this way.
Some options are Game Maker Studio, GDevelop or Buildbox.
Btw, just make some 2D games to start. You can do 3D once you have some experience, but 2D is easier for beginners.
In the beginning you can just follow the tutorials, and after a while you will know enough to make your own game.
