Any advice for an aspiring gamedev?
JUST. DO IT!!!!!!
You won't get anywhere without investing a stupid amount of time into it. You're never going to be the most talented person in the world, but you can still be the best if you put the most time in. That's true for anything, really.
Once you're comfortable working your butt off, the next barrier to success is learning to make something that communicates with other people/is something they actually want. There's no right answer, but don't waste time on a project you haven't considered from this angle.
GOOD LUCK
