I have very limited background in programming. I quite want to develop the game myself, or with only minimal help. Is there one language that is better than others for game development, or is more versatile?

    If you are new you probably want to decide which game engine you want to use first, then learn one of the languages that engine supports.

    Most popular choices would be: Unreal engine, Unity and Godot. Hovewer if your goal is to get into game dev industry by far the most popular language would be C++ followed by C#.

    Depending on the scope of your game(if it is a very simple 2d game like 2048) you might want to consider Python too. it is known for being one of the easiest languages to learn and you will have easy time researching the points you get stuck on.
