Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

i'm new here in itch io, and i wanted to learn how to make games,  i know basic programming language and somewhat about unity, so i wanted make a game to improve, so i need tips and what kind of genre to do.

Hi, I don't use Unity to develop games, but Construct 3. If you aim to create 2d games quickly and fast I would recommend you to give it a go.
Having basic programming language you will find easy to understand how the code are visually translated in pre-set building blocks that however allows you to create any type of 2d game in a very short time.

Try to give it a go in the guided tour:

If you are interested I have also some video tutorials on YouTube made with Construct 2 (older version), that is however 95% the same like C3, just with a little UI changes. So you will be able to follow the tutorials easily.

Beginners can start with platform jumping games or simple click to solve puzzles

Make games you know are possible within your abilities. Get them done and out before trying to make a dream game. More games means more rounded understanding of the entire process as well as more external feedback on what to improve. Just a personal tip after being self-taught in programming games for 17 years. Modularization is by far your best ally. The better you can understand how to compact concepts such that you don't have to edited/add 50 lines of code to achieve one thing, the more efficient you will be. And if you have a specialty in a different field then lean into that, say your a good artist but want to make games generally. Make a very basic platformer but make up for it with good art and design. You will get better through failure and correction/trial and error, not just practice. So prepare yourself.
