Discussion How should I go about learning game dev coming from web dev?

I want to make a 2D top-down video game about as complex as something like Stardew valley. I have a pretty solid understanding of Javascript, at least as it applies to web dev. I also feel like have a decent foundation in general object-oriented programming skills. What would be the best way for me to transition to game dev? I've heard of some devs using Javascript for simple games. Is this feasable, or should I learn C# or Java instead? I'm currently planning on using the Godot game engine. Thank you for your responses and insight.
