So what good open source game engine sare out there i know about things like godot but are there any others? i keep wanting to make a game but coding just gos right over my head but still i want to mak eone. it dosent help how my pc is low-end-ish (8gb of ram, windows 10, nvidia 1030 card).
im not even sure how to code or if there is a more visaul way to make games, i would prefer 2d btw becasue it seems easyier for beginner. im not even sure why i want to make a game but i just do maybe becasue im a nerd-ish and it give sme a goal/hobby.
also please share anything you feel is needed aswell and remeber im bascily a absolute beginner who dreams way too big.
RPGMaker sounds like something you would like (not open-source, though). You can do most things without coding, to just enjoy creating and telling stories. And when you want to do more, you can add code on top, learning at your pace and adding more and more useful stuff, if you find out you like that and stick with it.
I would like to start with something free to dip my toes in so i know if this is worth it for me without having to spend money, so do you know any more by chance?
I know of nothing more than what people mentioned in this thread, sorry. :) Except maybe… Have you considered writing? If what you’re after is telling stories rather than coding, it’s the easiest and yet most powerful way to explore your imagination, what you can do in a videogame is ridiculously limited compared to what you can do in a written story. And it’s free. :)
