I have very limited background in programming. I quite want to develop the game myself, or with only minimal help. Is there one language that is better than others for game development, or is more versatile?

    Not a developer but one time I decided to make my own game and I got one character sprite done for walking to the left and it took me 18 hours.

    My best friend is a senior developer and one of the brightest people I know. I’ve seen him code for me some arduino sketches that are absolutely next level (even after spending about 400 hours getting decent at python).

    He’s currently 3 years into developing his game and has a few more years to go.

    I’m not saying it’s impossible I’m just gonna say that maybe you should start small and see what the time commitment is and such and make sure you enjoy it enough to buckle up for a few years, overcome frustrations and are able to see it through.

    If it’s your absolute dream it is entirely possible, just don’t let the length of the road to get there be your deterrent. One step at a time and then onto the next problem or step.
