A gamedev I know who has a currently running online MMO says:
"Don’t overthink it. When I learned gamedev I learned how to display something on the screen, I learned how to move things on a screen, how to play sound effects and music, and then rolled it all together to make a simple pong game. If you can make that you can scale up from there. Buy an asset pack off of itch.io for whatever genre you want to make. "
For context this guy made his engine from scratch.
ITT: none of the power posters I was thinking of. Suspiciously silent now, eh?
