I'm thinking of creating a game but I don't know ANYTHING about how to create a game, I need your help for example: what engine to use or where to create it, I don't have money but all opinions and help will be welcome and accepted.

That's a very general question, but as a starting point: what kind of game do you want to make?

a 2d horror game about backrooms (hope you know what it is) (thanks for reading)

I have a vague idea, but with 2D it's easier anyway. Plenty of engines to choose from. I think people generally recommend Godot or GDevelop these days.

I understand, thank you very much for your recommendation, if you want to give me any other recommendation, that recommendation will be welcome!

It helps if you say what skills you have as well. A skilled programmer has more options than someone with no knowledge. Also can you build your assets or need to use premade assets.

Well, I only have skills to design the world and characters (I don't know if that's skill, but I'm good at it)

Of course it is. Write about it! Maybe you can even make a text-based prototype, if it works for the genre.

If you are strong about writings and concepting design, My recommendation is to find team who do the logic and art. :)
I used to be working alone, but working with specific role person is really feel great and different

thanks I take it into account.

another resource thought it may cost a little (watch humblebundle.com for deals) is to get tutorials from Gamedev.tv  ... they have alot to offer on various game engines and beginning programming. Unreal has a very solid Blueprint system that takes alot of heartache off of a beginner and they can then advance their knowledge to do some very powerful things just with blueprints. (though c++ is more powerful)

seems easy to make 2D game, im programmer in C++ with C++ Builder Rad Studio

i could help you to make something but you have explain me what you trying to do

emm.... if you give me your discord i can write you a PM in Discord :D

we could make some exercises and source code for you learn how make EXE apps for windows with C++ Builder

once we have something made, you can experiment with it for make other added things to it

the thing is if you dont know nothing of how code things is better you going learning C languaje as stardard for deal with C++ Builder

i can guide you and give you tips, but once you know how manage Rad Studio C++ Builder is amazing belive me

but if your goal is make 3D games etc, is better you learn Unity or Unreal Engine, the problem is if you dont know nothing of how make games will be difficult cos this engines also bassed in source code in C# and C++ so some knowdledges of basic programming is always good.

i see better you start with C++ builder and games stuff basics fordwarding until 2D games, then you can use your C/C++ acquired knowdleges in Unity or Unreal for make 3D games 

i said that, cos starting with a C/C++ compiler and IDE you learn other things (with me) like for example kind of variables, game structures more complex for handle things of game in the own code, code flow control structures, and much other things that helps you more than if you take Unity or Unreal without know nothing of C# or C++

also fit the possiblity you find C++ builder so fanzy that you preffer make Apps for windows in the classic style of a management app
