Huh, I never realized that the Itch app actually had a forum. Expect me to be active here.
That said, my name is Nëïgsëndöïg Cöcülës (Neeg-sen-doyg Ko-kyu-uhls). I'm a gamer with almost 18 years of experience, and essentially a jack-of-all-trades in terms of gaming. I'm a user of Linux and Open-Source software, and plan on doing this for the rest of my life (mainly due to my threat model being relatively low, but I won't get there). I don't just game, as I also play music, write, create content on YouTube (CoculesNation for those interested), and mainly whatever I can get my hands on.
In terms of Game Dev, I did take a class in 12 grade US, but never got to code for those purposes. I was thinking of using an open-source engine with C++ as my language of choice. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
