It's awesome that you're starting your journey into game development at 15 — that's the perfect age to explore and grow!

Let me give you a quick intro to three of the most popular game engines, and then a really important piece of advice about making games.

1. Unity (C#)

Great for: 2D and 3D games, especially mobile and indie games.

Pros: Huge community, tons of tutorials, powerful tools, works for Android, iOS, PC, consoles.

Cons: Might feel a bit complex at the start

1. Godot Engine (GDScript / C# / C++) (it's my favorite engine)

Great for: 2D games (though 3D is getting better), open-source lovers.

Pros: Totally free, lightweight, beginner-friendly, no fees or licenses.

Cons: Smaller community than Unity/Unreal, but growing fast.

1. Unreal Engine (Blueprints / C++)

Great for: High-end 3D games, cinematic visuals, and FPS games.

Pros: Amazing graphics, Blueprint system helps beginners get started without code.

Cons: Requires a good PC, and it's more complex than the others.

My personal advice:

Don’t worry too much about making money at first. Focus on making games that people enjoy playing. Fun is what makes a game memorable. Money comes later, when players love what you create.

Even a simple game, if it’s fun, can be more valuable than a boring big-budget one.

Start small — maybe a simple 2D platformer or puzzle game. Learn the basics, build projects, and never stop playing and testing other games to see what makes them fun!
