It doesn't really matter which engine you choose at this stage. Well, apart from maybe Unity since their leadership seems to be content slowly driving it into the ground.

Really, whichever one is more comfortable for you to work with is good enough. I would suggest Godot because its scripting language is high-level like Python, but if Construct 2 appeals to you then by all means go for it. I myself use Flash for the odd time when I try to get back into game dev simply because I'm too used to it, although I've been meaning to make the jump to Godot for quite a while now.

There's also other game engines like GDevelop if you prefer visual scripting (I don't but some do).

Bon courage ! S'il reste encore des questions n'hesitez pas a me demander.

What kind of project do you have on mind for your first game? The smaller and simpler the better, but besides the small scope what do you want to work towards? 2d? 3d? 3.1416d?

If you want 3d, Godot, Unity or Unreal are all solid choices, but if you want 2d I have had a pretty good experience with Gamemaker (It also has a visual language so you don't have to jump straight into code).

Rather than worry about the right engine to marry and spend the rest of your life with, think of a small project you want to make then weight the engines to consider which might be the right tool for it.

But if you do end marrying your engine, don't bother inviting me to the wedding I won't show up. 🐀👍

Lmfaoo thanks
Yeah I want to make a 2D platformer game, something pretty simple at start, and Im gonna try it with Gdevelop or GameMaker

I mean I have an idea, a pretty precise idea but maybe I should make some levels or more game ideas before doing something

And don't worry I'm not gonna get married with an engine, I'm pansexual not Thecnophile lmfao

Give it a decade or two more of AI and that'll be considered a very insensitive remark. 🐀❗

For a 2d Platformer, an engine specialized in 2d is definitely the right choice while you're starting so Gdevelop and Gamemaker are both great options.

But don't forget what's really important! Far more important than the engine you choose! Far more crucial than the colour of your shirt! f̶a̶m̶i̶l̶y̶ I mean, getting started on your project! 🐀‼️

Getting started on the wrong engine is a thousand times better than letting months pass by worrying about if you are picking the right one.

Just a reminder that it costs money to export games on Game Maker. I forgot how much it is but that was enough for me to start learning GDevelop instead

Not anymore! Their opera export (GX) is now free. But it is not an open source program, beyond that then it's a monthly license $4/$8.

Opera GX export? Like you gotta export the game through Opera GX or what?

Gamemaker was bought out by Opera, and they're making a browser more dedicated to gaming. So basically an online game hosting platform that you can access by using opera GX.

Imagine a "We got Newgrounds at home".

Specifically this point.

Okey this video is awesome, i'll watch it eveytime i feel not good about making games, thanks!
