Hi, i've decided to create a game, i almost learned a lot about drawing, but still know nothing about ren'py.Also, i still don't know, maybe i should learn unity, but people say it is too difficult to learn.I spent 3-4 hours a day and 1 month for learning Daz Studio and downloading.Still working.Will i spend more time on learning ren'py or unity ?
Which one do you recommend ?
I am looking for tutorial videos on youtube but there are few of them.Should i learn Phyton instead ? Or are there any video or similar tutorials on internet ?

Those docs are out of date. As it states at the top of the page.

Loads of info on their site -
When you download the developer version there is enough included to walk you through a basic novel.
Also google is your friend.

First ask yourself what type of game you want to make. For visual novels Ren'Py is the way to go. Unity is much more advanced. The programming language in Ren'Py is fairly simple to learn. Something I like is the "monkey see monkey do" principle. Play Ren'Py games, decompile them and look at the scripts to learn how to do certain things. Implement said functionality in your game, tweak it and make it your own. You'll learn heaps doing it this way. Good luck to you!

The complete docs are here:
For information, the same doc is also on your computer at : path/to/renpy SDK/doc/
Can be useful when you're writing some code while you download a big file, then need to refer to the doc.

Rome wasnt build in a day mate.

Make a small novel at first. Then "grow".

If you want an easy frame work to make a combat game in, do rpgmaker.

Note: Rpgm is not the most liked type of game on this site.
