Thanks for the in depth response! I mainly toy around with Twine (interactive fiction) but have been wanting to branch off and learn some game creation. I have Unity w/ Adventure Creator and RPG Maker 4. I'm not an artist by any means so being able to import assets like with the Unity marketplace is great.

I've been looking for something that would be akin to Wadjet Eye making games- I' assuming they have an entire template they use and mostly replace art assets although I could be completely wrong. Some of them have very different Stat/etc systems.

Anyway, I just want something fun to dabble on that won't frustrate me too much. I'm familiar with Renpy and have done some work with it but like you mentioned I've overlooked Visual Novels for P&Cs. I guess I could do the conversations/story in twine/renpy and worry about the mechanics of moving around/interacting with a world down the line.

I only know Golang and some python, so the c# for unity was intimidating. I was really hoping to find a decent go game engine but I haven't found anything relative. There is a golang game engine I forget its name.
