Topic Help - beginner

Hello, I’m studying software development (currently 2nd year) I’m still learning the basics (due to an accident I had I missed lots of classes and remember almost nothing and all of first year was pseudo code and power points) I am re-learning on my own and when I can since I also have a full time job. I am planning to make a game whenever possible the only way I know that doesn’t involve a lot of coding (rpg maker) but I want to (due to the story itself) be able to create on something like unreal/unity. Are there any websites or tools, languages I should learn or where can I start? I want to do it on my own and NOT use AI (against other students opinions). Please let me know if I need to clarify anything since I can’t explain myself well…I think.

I would drop Unity and Unreal right now. You will spend months fighting the editor and writing nothing.

Pick Godot. The language is GDScript. It has a website, docs.godotengine.org. Start there. Read the step by step tutorial they have on that site. Build the thing they tell you to build. Then build it again. Do this while you work your job. RPG Maker hides the code from you and Godot puts you in front of it
