That's a completely arbitrary thing to judge an engine on and a very odd thing for a 'veteran programmer' to say. The community I'm sure is growing as well, it wouldn't be a terrible choice.Īnd? That's a simple action, if you're judging how easy it is to script an engine based on how short the program is. If you want to move to another engine later then that's another issue, but if you're just learning then I think Unity is the place to be. The install size really shouldn't be an issue, it's 2018 and storage is cheap. The amount of information about Unity on the web is shocking, you can google more or less any problem you're having and the Unity forums are huge and very active. Now honestly I'd stick with Unity if you're just starting out. Switching engines won't get you over the frustration hump, you just have to grit your teeth and get to work. Every day you'll learn something new, lights will come on in your brain and eventually you'll get over the frustration hump and things will start to make sense to you.

Keep trying, keep working at it every day. They get frustrated and nothing seems to make any sense, but it just takes time for your mind to work through this stuff. It sucks for everyone when they're first starting. Even C# in Unity is easy, C# is a very nice language to work in and I know plenty of people who have gone from 0 programming knowledge to developing games in Unity with C#. Godot's scripting language is not difficult, it's one of the easiest things I can think of to work in and switching engines to look for an easier one is going to be an exercise in frustration. Bite the bullet and learn how to program or you will never make any progress. I don't want to sound mean but if you're having trouble with Godot's scripting language then you aren't going to have a fun time with any engine. Godot engine has a neat editor but its scripting language is too difficult
