Game developing

Question

Hi guys, to those of you that already have experience on the subject, which programming language and which game-developing software do you guys recommend for developing indie games by myself? I'm looking towards starting with simple 2D platformers, possibly animated by sprites to gain some experience, and when this happens I may make a transition to 3D.

Answer 1

C# with Unity3d for 2d and 3d
C++ with Unreal Engine for 3d

Cocos 2d although I've forgotten the language
Game salad for 2d requires no programming language

Answer 2

Panda3D uses Python. (And C++)

Answer 3

Thanks, do you know any software which uses python?
