Not sure if this goes her because im new to lemmy, but i have a snapdragon plus laptop, 16 ram, no gpu, i got this laptop recently when it was on sale for portability and because chromebooks are bad.

I want to get into gamedev and explore both 2d and 3d but im unsure what to try with my laptop as a newcomer not knowing much?

What would you suggest and why so? i need the simplest of the simple.

GDScript is pretty much python with a few extra things and I disagree that the ideal user for Godot is "a realtively experienced Unity or Unreal user who is fed up with their bullshit." - it has a significantly smaller footprint on the dev's computer and also makes smaller executables

RPG Maker is a trap to sell plugins that may or may not conflict with one another and may or may not make your game run like ass.
