What kind of programming language + framework would be easiest to get into, when trying to create a 2d game?
Something like Dust: Elysian Tale, Child of Light, Terraria, Hotline Miami.
Which one would be easier to port to different platforms?
C# + XNA? (is it only for xbox?)
Python + pyGame?
Ruby + Rubygame?

Just write the whole thing from scratch with opengl. 2D is a joke. Any retard can make an engine from scratch within a week at most. Royalty free, tuned to the task, easy to modify and adapt.

I'm a total retard never even wrote code in my life, i'm an illustrator. Is opengl still preferable?

Learn HTML and Javascript since you can make all those games in it.

If i understand correctly i could use any kind of programming language, the most important thing is to choose a an engine / library / framework (they all mean the same in this context don't they?) that leave you out of the low-level programming stuff. Please eli5 i'm so retarded in these matters /g/

Ask this at >>>/vg/agdg, they'll probably have some recommendations
