Roblox studio, correct me if I'm wrong, can only publish to Roblox and not in the format of exe

For all of my small Blender projects I have worked on, I've made the models myself in Blender.

Do you mean “a beginner at 3d game development?” If so, I certainly fit into that category
Is Roblox Studio free or relatively cheap? Also, could you provide a link to where you got Roblox Studio from?
Thank you!

It's free but can only make “Roblox” games. Go to roblox.com to learn more.

I have blender on my computer, but I don't know how to use it. Are there any tutorials you can recommend?

I remember looking at the “Blender Game Tutorial” videos from a YouTube channel called Software Tutorials to learn how to get used to Blender's user interface, but other than that you can explore some of the unique tutorials for specific things (Keeping score, moving the camera, etc.) by just looking them up on YouTube.

Unity game engine is a great engine for 3D. You do have to learn to program in C# or a Unity version of JS, though, but it is really awesome and its free!

Is C# similar to Python at all? It would be nice if I could find an engine that uses Python for scripting, since I'm already pretty fluent in making 2d games with Python and Pygame…

I downloaded Unity 5 last weekend, and I really like the interface. It's very intuitive, I downloaded some textures by googling grass.png, water.gif, etc., and I made a pretty nice level with hills and valleys. The only problem is that I'm not very fluent in JavaScript, and I have never worked with C# before.

Isn't Python a program for beginners, like Scratch?

Python is a typed, object-oriented programming language, unlike Scratch, and it is often taught to beginners because its syntax is simple and relatively consistent. For instance, you could set a variable to 10 like this: my_variable = 10
Or declare a function like this:
def my_func(argument1, argument2):
# code goes here
Or create a class (it's a type of inheritance system) like this:
class something():
# code goes here
You can create classes within classes which becomes useful with large projects.
Anyway, I wouldn't call Python a programming language that is just for beginners. After all, Industrial Light and Magic uses it for CGI and other special effects, and if they are beginners, then I'd like to know isn't a beginning programmer.

My point is, Python isn't a drag and drop language, it is typed and extremely capable.

AFAIK It is dynamically-typed… Normally when saying “x is typed”, you are implying it is statically-typed…

The most basic of 3D games could be done without coding in Unity but you should have some understanding of C# or Javascript before you want to do anything other than moving around. Looking at the documentation is always helpful with any programming.

I didn't say I thought it uses blocks like Scratch.

Hi,
I've used scratch for a while to make 2d games, but I would like to visit the world of 3d game development. The problem is, I don't really want to try and learn C++, or C# or Java right now. Basically, I wish there were just a 3d version of scratch that I can make my 3rd person 3d platformer with. And I know about Scratch 3d, but I don't think it works because it won't run at all in my browser (Firefox.)
Thanks in advance!

l'm now studying Unity RoIIing Sky.
l don't know whether Unity is easy enough for you.
