Wondering if theres any programmers or developers on my friends list?! Looking to kinda just nerd it up honestly lol... Im a video game developer using C# and Unity, as well as GML/GMS! I have been learning Java to brand into engineering in the future! If you are a programmer what do you do and what languages do you know?! Or if you want to learn how to code what do you want to do?!
Any Programmers?!

What types of games do you develop? I've often been curious about game development but haven't been real sure where to begin.
Hey! So currently for work we are making a 2.5d game, interesting concept, my first time honestly, I normally make small little 2d games I never release, just stuff for fun, but I have been working on a 3d rgp style game for quite a while, I originally was writing it as a text game in C (When I was learning C I figured why not) but I have been using Unity to branch that idea into something bigger, its taking quite some time since I am working alone and only do it in my spare time.
If you are looking to get into something easy I would suggest Gamemaker Studio, it has its own language GML which is quite similar to JS to some degree. Unity or UE5 are also good options if you know C# or C++
I started it off as a hobby and just kinda learned as I go, my only real schooling was web development before I started anything game related!

I am familiar with C# and JS. I started my career as a self taught coder as well. :) I'm all about figuring things out and trying new stuff. Do you happen to know if Gamemaker Studio runs on Linux? Or is this something you would recommend doing in Windows? And is there a cost involved?

Thats awesome!! I somewhat am glad I started self taught, I mean I took web development classes in high school way back but modern programming I have learned by trial and error, I feel like it gives us a stronger base since we had to research our answers!
Yeah it runs on Ubuntu as long as its a 64 bit OS! I have not used it on my linux laptop yet as the company I work with, most of its users use windows and they said linux saves some files differently? Not 100% sure so I never looked into it, but solo projects it should work just fine! It is also free, it has some good tutorials to get you started with the language too, it does have visual scripting if you like that, I personally dont, I find it harder then actual coding lmfao... but I dont know how to set it up so that might be why.
Its a neat IDE to get you started with some fun little projects. Theres a few good youtube tutorials you can code along with that will expose you to some nice concepts of GML as well!
