cryengine can translate to unity:

I'm an indie dev and I personally reccommend Unreal Engine 4. Their YouTube channel has a ton of content for beginners to advanced users. They also have a weekly livestream.

what branch of game development are you getting into? modeling, animation, textureing, programming, etc.

@Flanelman Start with these tutorials http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules. They are really good and start from very basic tasks.

Hey, i heard that UE4 was quite difficult? and since i have literally no experience i got put off a bit there. I don't really know, i just wanna make a little 2d platformer to begin with as a bit of practice ive watched a few vids of what can be made in UE4 and it looks really cool, is it that much harder?

Not really. There's actually a full tutorial on unreal's youtube channel for a 2d platformer. You can learn how to do it and then adapt it to what you want and change it up to fit your art style/theme.

 

Here's the playlist: (2d sidescroller)

 

Blueprints allows newbie programmers to program without actually writing code. It's quite easy once you learn how nodes work. I'd recommend watching some 3d stuff too because a lot of stuff in-engine translates from game-type to game-type.

 

3d scene with blueprints: (very basic)

 

intro to blueprints:

 

it's quite a bit to learn, but the more you know about the engine you're working in, the better the final product will be. and you'll also have better workflow.

I would go with UE4

you can use C++ which is a great language for video game coding, or you can use their custom flowchart system great for people who dont know how to code

really simple

thank you for all your help and information i will take a look at it now and get it downloaded!

This flow chart system means you don;t have to know how to code animations and such?

yeah they made it so that people who dont know C++ can still create games

of course using pure code gives lots more control and possibilities, and I highly recommend learning c++, but its not necessary to make stuff in UE4

no problem

the flow chart is "Blueprints". just so you don't think that there are 2 node programming things.

Hey is there anyway to get free item packs for UE4? ive looked in the market place and there doesnt seem to be much there so it's quite hard to practice making things

Thanks in advance

I don't know, I've never used an item pack before...
