There's a common trope that everyones first game is going to be an MMORPG from scratch.

I always try to convince them that a simple puzzle game is a much easier starting point, no AI, no netcode, minimal animation and good use of programming fundamentals; arrays, conditions etc.

Or to take a Unity FPS starter pack and go to town with the asset store.

But they always wanna make an MMORPG
