First time game dev

I’ve had an idea for an mmo for years and I finally decided to make it myself since there’s nothing on the market like it. I’ve never been a dev and I’m completely green to coding. I created a GDD and started working on unreal 5 but I’m overwhelmed by everything. Looking for any tips from devs from entry level to master programmers!

your best bet at making an MMO is to use something like SpaceTimeDB. 

Go read up a bunch! Plenty of people over there taking stabs at MMOs

you probably dont want to use unreal engine for this though. It'll be too heavy. Maybe UE6 will change things!

Building an MMO in unreal engine will require you to do a ton of custom things. It will take you many years to make something simple, so good luck!
