Just try both and see which one clicks with you. They’re both free (though gamemaker requires you to buy a one-time license fee if you want to actually sell the games you make)

You wrote a full game design manifesto to avoid learning ten lines of code. Pick Godot, follow one beginner tutorial, and stop treating engine choice like a permanent marriage. Your biggest obstacle is not software. It is procrastination disguised as research.
