ive been wanting to make a game but im not sure hwere to start or what engine to use, there just so many.
Start small. Watch game developer videos. Make games that imitate games you like to get an idea of how they do it.
Get on some game dev boards and talk to the people who already make games
You can do a lot without knowing a lot going with unreal(game engine), mixamo(character animations), and whatever free models you can find. Unreal has some starter projects, a small 3D arena with a default character already controllable and animated, you can ease into it learning how to replace whats already there and then add on new things.
Unity, Unreal, and Godot are popular game engines with good communities and tutorials available. Or try something simpler like Game Maker.
Just jump in and experiment and there’s no wrong choices. Think of it like digital play crafting. Just explore and see what you can do.
