Hey! Learning C# and Unity is a great move for game development. Unity is beginner-friendly and powerful enough for advanced developers too. Brackeys has some fantastic beginner tutorials on YouTube, and there are plenty of other resources as well. You'll get hands-on with scripting in C# and learn Unity's tools step by step. Let me know if you need help with anything specific along the way!

Unity, as suggested, is the most popular Game Engine. However you could start with Godot, it's also pretty popular and they have their own language that is similar to Python. It's also beginner friendly. Search up a youtube video that introduces you to the editor, and maybe first steps to make a game. Try to make a circle appear on screen and move it through code, then through WASD. Look into adding a sprite to the circle, maybe an enemy that follows the player position and kills on collision. Think of something you'd add to the game, and try to implement it, if you have no idea, look it up, follow a tutorial, try to reiterate on the idea and make it your own.

Languages for Game Development:

1. C++: Used in game engines like Unreal Engine; highly performant but complex.
2. C#: Popular in Unity; beginner-friendly with a balance of power and simplicity.
3. Python: Great for simple games (e.g., with Pygame), not ideal for heavy 3D games.
4. JavaScript: Used for browser-based games with frameworks like Phaser.
5. Java: Often used in Android games or with libraries like LibGDX.
