The very first game you should make is a Pong/Breakout/Asteroids/Galaga/Frogger clone. It seems simple, but you need to have a surprising amount of systems: graphics, audio, controls, collisions, game states, menus, scoring, user interface. The engine and language does not matter for this first game. The only thing that matters is completing one small game. After that, you'll have the level of knowledge to make somewhat informed choices about project #2, where you can expand and innovate. You can use hobbyist engines like Godot and have more control, or more professional engines like Unity or Unreal if you want access to those tools and asset libraries. /r/gamedev has a useful article: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/wiki/faq#wiki_getting_started https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/wiki/faq#wiki_getting_start...
