So what good open source game engine sare out there i know about things like godot but are there any others? i keep wanting to make a game but coding just gos right over my head but still i want to mak eone. it dosent help how my pc is low-end-ish (8gb of ram, windows 10, nvidia 1030 card).

im not even sure how to code or if there is a more visaul way to make games, i would prefer 2d btw becasue it seems easyier for beginner. im not even sure why i want to make a game but i just do maybe becasue im a nerd-ish and it give sme a goal/hobby.

also please share anything you feel is needed aswell and remeber im bascily a absolute beginner who dreams way too big.

Godot can run on fairly low end stuff, just use the opengl based renderer. The official Godot docs are actually pretty dang good nowadays. Join a game jam asap https://godotwildjam.com/ you'll probably find a team willing to take a newbie. You'll learn a lot. Good luck!
