Hi!
I don't really know wheres the best place to ask this (I'm new here btw): I want to design a game, how do I start?
I have complete original ideas but no programming skills, can't code, only learned Blender basics from YouTube and... kinda forgot about it for a while (thats how fascinated I was in it...), all I can do is draw, but only improvising monsters in monochrome (not good with colors yet) and my tablet's pen stopped working recently. All I'm good as is ideas.
I don't have money to study anything so I can only learn from the internet!

I think I have the right mind for designing a game, but do I have to also be able to program? If yes, what programs should I learn and how can I learn them?
If I'm really slow, especially at things like mathematics, will I have that problem with coding?
Will learning the basics of programming and other things but not actually enough to be a real programmer, modeller, animator or whatever will be enough for a game designer? How much is enough? And what?
And how do I find people who would like to work with me? Best places for beginners to search for people to build a team?

Also, are my skills enough to at least start as also a concept artist?

Sorry for my bad English, not my language. And sorry for too many questions in one...
