If you want to get started in game dev I suggest you to start doing game jams!

I second the commment saying that you should see it as a hobby first, because getting money out of it is going to be very, very hard. Only let it grow into a business if a game idea really captured you and an audience, and be prepared to spend a ton of time in marketing instead of coding.

I think that if you are not having fun and you are not passionate about the game you are making, the games will also be less fun to players. Give it a try but don't burn out and don't take it too much as a job you have to complete!
