washuguy, making a small game for PC/iOS/Android and letting others comment on it will go a long way. Start with something small, bring out updates, nail down the story with each update.

Start small and put something out, then build up. Create a kickstarter after a few updates. Ask for donations. Small steps like that, until you're ready to bring out the final ambitious project.

Good luck with it, take my advice, don't be discouraged. Go for it!


And learn and have fun/make some money along the way.
