I thought about using unity for my games to begin with but now I've decided to move over to the Godot engine which uses GDscript which is super close to python, so gave me a way to check out python, Godot is completely free and open source and im having a blast using it.

Did take me a while to make up my mind because of the popularity of unity3d and the documentation, but godot has a dedicated 2d engine at its core (it also has 3d too)

if your up to seeing what other engines are out there, definitely check it out http://www.godotengine.org/
