Hello everyone! I am new to this world and have a few questions seeing as how everyone on here knows a lot more about this stuff than me. Recently, I have decided to try a little game development and see if I can get good at it. I've been playing games since I was a kid and have always had a fantasy about turning that passion into a career. Here is my dilemma: I have a MacBook Pro. To be specific:

I know Macs are notorious for being horrible at game development and gaming in general, but I have had this dream for a long time and would like to do something about it rather than just sit around and wonder "what could have been?". The big question I'm asking you all is: what game engine (both 2D and 3D) would suit me best? I'm not looking for the drag-and-drop engines with no coding. I realize that I need to learn a bit, but I don't know where to start. An engine with tutorials, video or written, is also what I'm after. I figured I would start on mobile games since there is not a chance in hell that this tiny laptop can handle the awesome power of UE4. Please get back to me as soon as possible and thank you all for reading this.
P.S. I plan on buying the MacBook Pro this week and was wondering if I should throw in an extra $200 for 16GB. Thanks!
