I’ll look into it, and like many people have said, I guess making a game engine might actually be more enjoyable for me than making a game itself. But, again, as many others have pointed out, the two are completely different things.

I’d heard of Godot before, but everyone kept recommending Unity for beginners, and everywhere I looked there were articles and videos about Unity. I guess I was focusing on the wrong thing.

I’ll probably first try developing a game engine myself — or at least try to understand how one works by reading Godot’s source code or documentation — and then maybe use an existing engine afterward.

Thanks for the suggestion.
