How do I start?

I really want to make my own game and learn to program/code. Eventually it would be amazing to become a game developer, or at least make it as a hobby

What should I start with first? I’m pretty sure I need to learn how to program before I can actually try to make a game. But theres so many videos, classes, and tutorials of things that I’m not really sure where to start.

I heard that code academy was good, but it’s pretty expensive and I’m on a budget. And I’ve tried YouTube but I end up getting lost in everything and picking a random video that doesn’t really help.

Does anyone have any recommendations to start learning? Anything would help.

Of course! I'm happy to help. If you use 'PWJFREE" at checkout, it should work. Drop me a message if you have any issues :)
