I am currently working on a game I was told by one friend to use the language I am most comfortable in. However others have criticised me for not using their preferred language or environment.
Should I switch or keep going?
It’s your first try, just go with something you are familiar with, don’t need to be hard on yourself.
Also, being a beginner and having to fight against your tools is a great way to lose motivation when you aren’t really spending time doing actual game development.
Thank you everyone for your great advice and encouragement to keep going. I will continue in BBC BASIC for SDL as i am really starting to get a good workflow going with it just get slowed down when i have to learn how to use new libraries lol
Finish the game, doesn’t matter how.
If you’re serious about making games, it won’t be your last one, so you’ll have many more chances to try other languages, engines, environments or whatever.
