I want to code a game, just for fun. I've picked Godot just because. The problem now is that I have no game concept to get started with - and I want to do something that is only slightly original.

This is a great decision, I wish you the best of luck. Godot is a great game engine, moreover, I love working with C++ and Godot's open source structure is very entertaining and helpful with its great communities.

After you find your game idea, I suggest you think about Game Design in detail. For this, you can browse GDD (Game Design Document) templates on Google.

Preparing a GDD will help you a lot during the development process and will allow you to collect your ideas in one file. This inevitably increases your development speed quite.

I can't say anything about game ideas because I don't know your industry. But watching too many movies, daydreaming, reading books and playing a lot of games will definitely give you an idea. I know these are things that are said all the time, but they are definitely very useful.

Dream a lot. This is a process that requires a lot of patience.

Also, thanks for reading the article. I wish you success.
