So ive been thinking about using godot or gdevelp but im not too sure if those are teh right ones for a beginner to use. im not sure why but i want to make a video game, i dont even have an ideas but i want to make one for some reason. once i get a better computer which will be in a few days hopefully i think i might use unity, maybe.

i could use suggestions, advice, tips, you can even share a story if you want to. ive made a few posts before and everyone says to download blender to make things with and then use godot becasue its open source and low end.

If you’re looking to make a game, focus on game engines. There’s a bunch to choose from, but there’s 2 main ones: Unreal and Unity. Of the two, I’d say Unity is more beginner-friendly, with tons of resources and a huge community. You can use Unity to build anything from 2d sides scrollers on the web to full-blown networked FPS games running on consoles.
