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.

I don't see any other comments, not sure if it's my instance acting up. But, anyways, I started with godot (I'm still learning myself) and I don't regret it.

At first I felt like I would rather be learning unreal or unity since it would be more useful in the business world, has better graphics and such. But I'm having a blast learning godot and I honestly have high hopes for the future regarding godot. The new demos look amazing and there are some people on YouTube with insane graphic demos on Godot. Really surprising stuff.

Plus, as you said, open source is great. Only downside to godot is that since a major new release came out recently, a lot of the tutorials and guided are a bit outdated. You can still kinda follow along with some basic logic and ingenuity though.

Good luck!

The only other comment I see is mine. One reason you might not have seen it is the language was set to "Undetermined" because Jerboa does not have a language selector. If you don't have "Undetermined" as one of the languages on your account settings I think you won't see posts or comments with that language tag. So if you see this comment (which is set to English) but not my other one then that could be why.
