You should check out the Godot game engine! it's completely royalty free compared to other free to use game engines
That's a useful program i have installed on Steam i should try!

I'm pretty sure Unity is free. If you can manage an online trade though, like offering to do art or music for somebody, I think Game Maker is a very good program , especially for new devs.
I do agree with this! It's very useful!

You're better off using Godot (open source, 100% free, does 2d or 3D easily) or Unity (most of it is free, probably the best option for a beginner). Game Maker's OK for 2D projects, but it's a relic of a past when we didn't have many good options. There are some other options more suited for web-based projects, like PhaserJS, and you might also want to consider learning to program basic apps before you take on a game dev project. There's a ton of open source options out there!
That's very useful to know! ^^
It's since there's many games out there on Newgrounds! :D

I still lean towards GM over Godot, if your project is 2D. It's more user friendly than Godot, makes the earliest phase of game development - stuff like movement and basic controls - a lot easier. I started with GM7, which is a little less complex than GMS2, the current version, but I find that being able to quickly get past your basic functionality stuff and into the actual "game" phase is very useful. It's proven itself as a game development tool with stuff like Hyperlight Drifter and Undertale, and especially if you're still learning, relegating the actual costs for making a game to exports only and leaving the program itself fully functional for developers was a smart move.
I'm also a fan of how GML works. Coming from a little knowledge of Java in particular, it feels very easy to understand. Godot is great, but I think calling GM a relic doesn't give it full credit.
Learning this useful information is very good to know, in fact, it's amazing to understand how to make gorgeous videogames!
