As several people has pointed out here, don't focus on programming. That can kill the urge to make games pretty quick. And an important thing often overlooked, is prototyping. Whatever kind of game you are making, find a way to make a fast mockup using paper or whatever - and test it.
That being said, you should take a look at simple game engines like; Twine, GDevelop, TyranoBuilder and PICO-8. Just remember; the easier they make it to do simple stuff, the harder is it to do difficult stuff :)
