Python is a good starting point to get a good understanding of how programming works (plus use Python Turtle or something to get pixel art in your code idk, make a text based adventure or something)

> game/rpgmaker
> visual novels
i don't think i've seen very many visual novels made in rpgmaker. ren'py, maybe, which uses python.
and even still there's not really a huge coding aspect when it comes to rpgmaker at least, which uses Ruby. unless you wanna do more complex things.

tl;dr: get a dartboard, write down the languages, throw dart to see which one to learn.

People just forgot to tell you that the last thing you'll to do after finishing learning a programming language is make a game, if you don't learn an engine of course. (An engine will only require you to know the basic of its language)

Start with any language you want, just promise to not choose PHP. 

Whats wrong with PHP? I always used it on server side validation and database operations.

Tl;dr: PHP isn't designed well and isn't a good starting point for a learner.

Oh and offtopic: GameMaker Studio Pro is available from $12 on Humble Bundle if anyone is interested.

I have never thought of programming for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out. That is the reason why I code.

Re: the pivotal moment of pingo's life

Php was the first server language I tried to learn... Omg... It goes against everything that previously knew about code.
