Learning about game development

Question

I am planning on involving myself in game development, can the community help me with some of my question:
1. Can anyone recommend me a good place to learn?
2. between unity, unreal engine 4, rpgmaker and blender which one should I learn? or is there any other choice?
3. where can I try to get involve in game development?

Answer 1

I would recommend Unity if you're planning to go with 2D games.
but if you're goal is 3D then I would suggest Unreal Engine.

There are tutorials on Unreal Engine and Unity Documentation.

This answer all your questions.

Answer 3

Unity can also do 3D games, Unreal engine can also do 2D games ^^
Why this choice then ? (I am really asking)

Answer 4

@Baptiste E. Prunier
Because unity is lack of tools for 3D games, and Unreal Engine system ( LOD, etc... ) is much better than unity, which mean you'll need to spend money much more on unity because you'll buy tools from the market that already exist in Unreal engine.
I never used Unreal engine for 2d games but unity have many good topics.

@Cain Eviatar @Baptiste E. Prunier what about any website that will allow me to participate in non-profit or profit game development... place like codecamp. But code camp if not mistaken only focus on web and software development... I want to try get involve in actual game development once I think I'm ready. Thanks for your answer

Just start learning C# or C++ or even both, and search for tutorials there is a big community out there.
