What is the best engine to start your game-dave career on?

Question

Game development

Hello, I want to go into game development, I plan to work in Unreal Engine, but first I want to try to create a simple (or not) 2D game, and I can’t decide on a game engine. I would like to use C ++, and with a license so that there would be no problems (come a freebie). So far I have settled on the following: Cocos 2D-X; Scirra Construct 2 and Garagegames. Which is better to start with, or do you have your own option?

Answer 1

C++ - marmalade, coconut, or hardcore - SDL.

Answer 2

About 2D: you can take any js library and try to create on it.
I will suggest crafty.js as the easiest way to understand object interaction and gamedev training.
If something specific: then develop immediately on what you decided to develop on.
I would choose Unity3D.

Answer 3

I recommend Corona SDK for starters, multi-platform, easy to develop and with a good community
