Python is commonly recommended as the easiest programming language to get started. If you are waitin to make your 1st game and you'd want to make 3D game, you don't need to go for Unity or Unreal Engine 4

Thing You Won't Have To Face:

waiting for your code to compile
the editor crashing and possibly losing your work
not being able to fix engine bugs or add features
overly verbose code
uncustomizable workflow
waiting for imports
long build times
revenue cut or subscription fee

Features

hotreload code/textures/models while in-game
automatic import of .psd and .blend files
play in fullscreen while developing
easy to use mesh class for making procedural geometry
lots of included procedural 3D primitives

You get the game engine under MIT license. You won't be paying any fees or royalties. Just download and use as you'd like :)
