I'd love to get into learning game development but I'm poor and all the software on HumbleBundle and Itch.io seem to cost money. Know any good free options?

You can use Unity and the Unreal Engine. The base version of those engines are free and are really powerful. I'm using the free version of unity and I already have a playable build of my game and plus there's a lot of tutorials on youtube for both so it's easy to jump into it

Thanks! But where would I even download those two things? I could search "download unity" but I wouldn't even know what to look for.

https://unity.com/download this is the link. It downloads the Unity hub where you can access your projects and different builds of the engine. I think under installs on the hub you can download the engine itself
