Do you need a good computer to make games?
| i've tried learning unity on what looked like a just slightly above netbook spec laptop, it didnt do me any good
| That really all depends on what you're making. If you're going for some highly-detailed realistic game, having a mid-to-high tier GPU might do you better than simply using, say, the internal GPU.
However, I spent about a good chunk of my game development confined in some junkyard-level i5 & GTX 580; I was making simple platformers and stuff like that though, so nothing too intensive.
| Another thing to notice is that CPU, RAM, and disk R/W speed will have a noticeable impact on compilation time. A mid-tier i5, 16 GB RAM, and an SSD is bound to fix that easily though.
| At least better than one you'd need to run the game you're making

Rpg maker is love
| you don't need a computer at all! grab a pencil and a paper!
| At least you'll get real good at optimizing your game so you can run it in 60 fps on your setup :^)

Everyone knows that games nowadays are programmed in punch cards, don't confuse OP like that
| I just program in my head, then write it on paper and give it to my IT friend. I feel like Stewen Hawkins

| Just wondering if it's necessary to have a high end pc when going about making an indie game. (PS. Using Unity(c#) and blender)
