The best place to start studying programming for video games

Gaming softwares use different coding languages. If there is a program you are interested in, you could see which language it uses.

Some software however might use more a "drag and drop" method, which is a lot easier for beginners.

For coding languages in general, most people say Python is the most beginner friendly.

Codecademy is a good site for learning languages.

I was thinking either something like The cult of the lamb game play style of sally face style. I like them both. I am kinda leaning towards cult of the lambs style though because i want the art style to be a statement for the game. 

So I imagine the game to be a roguelike game like the cult of the lamb. But I want it to be like a story game and have the characters interact with each other. I imagine the dialog to look like when you are texting someone (For this, I want to modify it to fit the character sprite to fit in) Idk if that makes any sense! If you have any questions ask me

I’d recommend Godot to make this game
I’m an indie dev myself, and it works really well for me.

It’s pretty easy to learn if you find the right people to learn from (I learned via GDQuest), the scripting language is something called GDScript, which is basically python. And it’s super lightweight and fast to use, especially compared to things like Unity and UE5
It’s also completely free. No royalties, no subscription, no purchase, etc.

other options are GMS2 and GDevelop, though the former is somewhat expensive I think
