Hello Mike!
I know it's overwhelming, but I must say that it's brave and welcome that you'll try to learn coding to make your own games.
I have a bit of posts already with links to tutorials and such, but instead of repeating here more of the same (check my old posts if interested), I'll leave you here a few links to RPG development with Unity (the engine I'm using at the moment). In case it can give you ideas, or make you more comfortable with the idea to try that approach.
Unity's RPG Creator Kit

Brackeys' How to make an RPG (I find Brackeys very attractive for an introductory level)

Some links to video tutorials and such (all centered around RPG development with Unity)

Well, that's a bunch, but I think that the first two are the most attractive ones if you're starting.
Good luck!!
