Creating a game app, looking for developer programs

[Godistjuven]

Hi, I'm new here! I have been interested in creating my own android games for a time now and just decided to give it a try, so I'm looking for a software where I can develop my games.

I have some basic knowledge in java and been playing around a bit in Android Studio. What would be the easiest way for a beginner to create his first android game? At the start, now when I'm new to app development, I will make simple games like memory match or quiz game, and after that try creating games that require some physics, like a "runner game" or platform game.

I have found three options:
-Android Studio
-Unity3d
-Game Maker: studio

Does any of you have any idea what software to use? Are any of these three options any good? I have also heard it might be possible to use Android Studio as a plugin for Unity3d or something like that... I just want to create simple 2D-games, not any advanced 3D-games. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

I'd suggest game maker studio. My old highschool used it to teach students and it only required animation as a prereq. It's really good for learning concepts and terms; I've used unity but it can get overwhelming just to accomplish simple things without knowing all of the lingo. I just purchased game maker studio and the android module for $12 on the humble bundle weekly. I can't post any links since I haven't made any posts but you can just google humble bundle

Thank you! If I encounter any questions I will definitely try sending a message to you! Have you published any games?

Yep, but I can't promote them here while I don't have 10 messages.
I used to make games for my classmates and university friends only but now I'm trying to make wide-auditory games and I have met the problem of promoting - it's really hard to promote your game without a big amount of money..

Oh, I have 10+ posts already!) cool!) I will create a thread with my game soon
