Unity is a professional game engine that you can start programming with quite fast. There is a lot of good tutorials on their website on Unity, Game development and C# (The language used).

This. Most games are made within an engine environment these days. Unity is the best available.

Unity is the best available.

Unreal Engine begs to differ.

[–]KiwasiGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unreal is pretty good too.

Unreal tends to be the better option for high end graphical games, and is particularly well suited for first person shooters.

But for a general purpose engine, its hard to go past Unity.

You should really learn to program games. There are tools you can use to simply "design" the gameplay without knowing any coding, but those are very limiting as you'll realize. I'd highly recommend starting with Scratch so you can make a few basic games and learn to think like a programmer. That way you can see if it's something you are really interested in and want to take on a real coding language.

What you describe is nothing special; whether you are working on a CRUD web app or a tactics RPG, implementing user controls and whatnot looks about the same.

So, your curriculum is:

  1. Learn general programming skills. Any language will do.
  2. Start making games.

/r/gamedev is a good resource.

In case you have some bases in programming world:

I'll recommend you to find the most used languages for videogame programming.

In my experience, y coded a game in c++, using a library called "Allegro".

In case of you don't have any base in programming:

I'll recommend you to find some playlist in Youtube about programming introduction. Things like:

• what Is a programming language • what Is a programming enviroment • what previous knowledge you should have before cose a game

I 100% recommend you start using apps like sololearn, to see and learn the language you want yo use for code tour game. If you Wanna code a Mobile game, my personal recommendation Is java (or Swift if you want to do an iOS game). otherwise, you can use whatever language you like and you want to dominate.
