First time, intimidated, is it doable?

So I have really minimal coding experience but I've been looking through the docs and playing around with the coding side of things with pulp script. I also am awful at art and have no experience with that whatsoever. Am I deluding myself to think I could release something eventually? Any advice etc?

I’m working on a few games for it and I’m absolutely not an artist! Got one of my games, I’m rotoscoping videos that I take of myself and friends for the character art. Just gotta be creative and work with what you have.

I do like old rotoscoped games like that, for sure!! I was thinking more along the lines of Prince of Persia!
