Hey, folks! My son (currently 15) is interested in getting into game development. He’s taken a class in Python in school and enjoyed it, but I know Python won’t be enough. I don’t think he’s interested in ever making big, AAA games, but more along the lines of Undertale (which was made in Game Maker Studio) or Bug Fables (Unity).

There are just so many choices and so much content out there that I don’t know where to start. Do you have any suggestions for which language(s) to learn or software (like Game Maker Studio) that you’ve found helpful? Thanks!

    I 2nd GoDOT, but I also recommend the Learn Python books from No Starch Press, they have several books for kids & learning while making games.

      I’d been looking at those books! There are a couple saved on my Amazon wishlist, I might pick a couple up for when he comes back from vacation.
