So ive tried to code many times on my own but i feel like im doing things the hard way and im still unsure what to pick becasue ive been jumping around here and there. like most gamers i would like to try to make a game or something but im just not sure if i can or not becasue it seems really hard to do and im not sur eif ill enjoy it or not also my pc is low end so im kinda limited to say.
Might be worth considering Defold? It’s component/object model is pretty simple, the programming language is Lua (which is compiled with LuaJIT, so it’s fairly performant), the documentation is good and while the community isn’t huge, it’s very vibrant. Crucially, it’s used to make very real commercial mobile games, so you know it’s battle-tested.
It’s 100% free, open source (although on its own license, not a standard one) and maintained by the Defold foundation, which has full-time employees.
It also builds to absolutely EVERYTHING so no matter where you want to distribute your games, it’s got you covered.
I’m personally very smitten by it, although I used to work with the devs back when they were part of King, so I’m slightly biased. They are an AWESOME group of people.
