actually, that brings up some things too.
Gamemaker doesn't need coding to make a game, they have the drag and drop system where you have sort of these, icons which do different things such as collision checking, vertical speed, health check, etc. It's not too limited, but in ways it is. Gamemaker is meant for 2D games, but it can be used for 3D games also. You CAN use GML (Game makers language) to expand your options too.
Blender is a 3D animation and video game creation software that is free thanks to the Blender Foundation. It has most, if not all tools and features that you would find in $500 industry grade programs. To make games, you do need to know some coding. You may want to look into it more because I haven't explored the game creation process in Blender yet as I am still working on animation.
