Do you have prior experience with other game engines? Around 4 years ago, I was learning how to program (in order to do natural language processing) when it suddenly dawned on me that I had probably learned enough to be able to make a game. I filed that as a bug on GitHub and Godot devs fixed it in Godot 3.1
