I've been curious about potential game dev. Is it better go with RPG maker or unity, if I'm beginner

Fuck Unity and their bullshit. Better choices are RPGM (Easy to learn, hard to master) or Godot (Harder to learn, but more flexible.) Otherwise, Unreal and Renpy are options depending on the game you want to make. I'm assuming RPG, given the two you stated as options.

If you're a beginner (no experience at all with Unity) go for Godot.

RPG Maker is also fine, and many of those concepts can be replicated on Godot if you stick to 2D.

yeah. I've played many games made with unity and most of the time they have been quite hard to get to work, cuz of localization and whatnot.

I didn't mean Unity as an engine, I mean the company doesn't deserve anyone using it. They've proven that they're a whim away from completely fucking over anyone using Unity for game development. I hope someone pisses on their cornflakes.

okay I see :D. I think I'll look into rpg maker, seems to have the lowest barrier of entry.

Then you'll want either MV or MZ, and . It's a hell of a resource for just about anything MV/MZ related.
