Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I plan to make some small, fun, free games in preparation for making a large one.
I primarily use Godot and Aseprite. They're pretty much the easiest game development software I've ever used, and I can't recommend them enough if you're looking to get into this kinda stuff!
(Godot is completely free, but Aseprite costs like $20. However, they have a free trial version on their website, and you can get it on Steam.)
