Game devs of lemmy, what are the best game engines for beginners, also why so?
So i may or may not get into game dev but im thinking of using a fantasy console becasue of lua or maybe godot becasue everyone says to use godot i guess. ive treid running unreal, unity on my low en dpc but they just dont work also there not really open source and open source is cool. i havent really made a game before i usally just copy and paste code from the internet or chatgpt... also id ther eanything else you want to share like what are beginner ideas, how didi you learn, or whatever thing you think of.
im not even sure if i want to get into game dev or not but it seems interesting.
You're viewing a single thread.
For an absolute beginner: Godot if you're not super familiar with programming, PyGame or SDL if you are.
If you are planning to move commercially, it'd behoove you to upgrade your PC to at least be able to use Unity. Unreal is definitely not where I'd suggest unless you're a C++ person or have been in game dev for decades at this point. Pico-8, RPG Maker, and etc are fine but not where I'd devote any real effort or time other than making something one off.
