If you're new into game development & its mechanics (like me) I totally recommend Construct 3 for baby steps. You can basically "click out" whole simple game (check my games if you want - I've made them in the past 2 weeks in free time - Construct is THAT simple (but at the same time, don't expect much from it as well))
If you want a low-resources solution, and your primary goal is learning, you could always try C++ with a library like SDL.
This is just programming though, no GUI involved, but it’s an amazing learning experience, and can give you a massive variety of features, which might not be available to certain tools/engines.
