High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
what r the differences in the languages. And how would u recommend I learn them
Honestly just go to the Unity website and binge the fuck out of their tutorials. I pretty much learned everything from those
You can learn the language by watching tutorials on youtube. There are many things that make each language different.
If you are going to begin learning game development you will have to gain some initiative to learn things for yourself, I suggest do some all out research and as previously mentioned BINGE ON TUTORIALS. I first started learning game development early 2015. I through myself into the deep end and began with learning Unreal Engine 4 despite people saying start with Unity and to be honest it paid off. I suggest to you if you are going with Unreal Engine 4 watch these youtubers tutorial series they defiantly help a lot

If you would also like to gain inspiration and gain a bit of advice from a professional modeller watch Sinqnews development livestreams or twitch and youtube:
(Skip to 2 minutes for the castle ITS AMAZING)
I suggest using Unreal Engine 4 because there is enough tutorials out there to get you started (Unity does have more) but unreal has enough for any beginner, it has Blueprints which I would imagine would help you out a lot considering you don't know jack about coding and in my opinion it has a lot more organised and trustworthy marketplace.
I suggest the follow software:
-Autodesk Maya: 3D Modeling / or Blender: 3D Modeling (Free)
-Substance Painter: 3D Painting
-WorldMachine: Terrain Development
-SubstanceSource: Textures https://source.allegorithmic.com/#/substances/home
-Speed Tree: Tree Modelling
-Zbrush: Modelling and Painting (Not crucial but nice to have)
If you would like a dedicated tutorial bundle + assets + software (FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY) for Unreal Engine 4 have a look at the google drive pack:

I suggest learning some things by yourself.
Take some initiative and search things up. You won't get very far if you depend on us, so I'd recommend to search things us yourself, do some research yourself.
It'd pay out in the long term.
+1 Thats what im trying to express[DOUBLEPOST=1488702037][/DOUBLEPOST]
If you want to find alternates for any software just google "alternates for zbrush" and there will be a million articles regarding it

What I meant was they are limiting if you only use the free version.
Unity has a premium and free version.
Yeah, but that premium version was only added recently, and is only for extra features. It was a perfectly functional engine before that, and it still is. You won't need to go premium on unity for most normal games. You still get full cross-platform support and all normal features in the standard, free license.
I think you can use the free license up to $150K per year revenue, if I remember correctly.
Unity free version is capped at 100k revenue, in terms of comparison between each engine with revenue the deals are pretty similar being:
Unreal Engine 4 - 5% Royalty (After $1000)
Unity - 100k Revenue Free Version (Unlimited revenue $125 a month)
If you do the maths you will find that if your game is extremely successful earning in the millions the 5% revenue cap adds up and you will end up loosing more money than you would if you had the Unity Package, however if you are own earning in the $10000 it is pretty equal in the amount you would loose.
In the end you shouldn't judge the engine by how much revenue they take away, even if Unreal Engine 4 does take 5% and you earn a ton yet you are going to develop a better game then its worth it.

There's a reason Unreal is used so much, it's just a crazy powerful engine. But it does take some getting used to, so starting with Unity for your first game is recommended.
Agreed and as Celestial said you need to learn for yourself, it helps in the long run
Whilst I kind of agree with you, it's not a bad thing to start with Unreal Engine 4 instead of Unity, I agree that UE4 takes some time to get used to, but it does have an amazing community to help you out, not to mention it has an inbuild tutorial function, for each part of the engine, animating, the UI, Blueprints, C++ tutorials, Value Editors, a tutorial for everything.
And they have a Youtube channel they often update with new features, showcases, tutorials and they even create games from scratch so you can follow along!
Really? I didn't realize that.
yeah it took me a while as well, but my Unity teacher pointed it out. I've been aware of unity since just before Unity 5 came out (my first lessons started shortly after Unreal 4 became free to use), so I could compare it accurately.
That's pretty cool.
I personally learnt maya by watching Sinqnew's livestreams, try watching this video
Otherwise its not hard to do research for yourself, just google Maya tutorial and have a look around
