Best ways to get into hobby game dev these days is PixiJS for HTML and Swift or Cocos2D for phone dev. Unity for 3D, but it is pretty hardcore. Get a good "learning 2d game programming book".
I learned SpriteKit and Swift for fun and started making games with my kids. So rewarding and a nice break away from real world programming. But not something I would want to do for a living.
