Good, free 3D game maker for linux?

[xSetrox]

/title
I am planning on making a bunch of textures for a game.
All I want is:
-Some physics
-Textures that you can upload from your computer
-Animations
-Animations that can cause physics to occur
Overall, I want to make a snow shovel simulator. That's literally it, but I will add some features to make the game actually fun.
Also, if possible, I'm not very good at programming, so is there one that works like game maker?

Unity, Maybe?

there are none that are good. only real effective way is to learn to program

doesn't run on linux :S
which is really annoying considering a lot of games use unity and i can't even play them

I would go with this, since learning programming is really fun and really easy on linux, and it's a good learning experience were you to get a good job in computer science.

Unity, Maybe?

Unity can export for Linux, but doesn't actually run on Linux.

Most Unity games I've played work on wine, or just have exported Linux versions. Do you have wine installed? (I'd be surprised if you didn't...)

Im not sure, but I think this should work.

i don't want to start anything but it would be easier to use windows to make games, then you can use something like C++ OpenGL/DirectX to make actual proper games. idk if linux has actual support for opengl/directx

Linux doesn't have DirectX support, but it has better support for OpenGL than windows does. OpenGL is more cross-platform anyway, so it's usually a better option for development.

[Blockzillahead]

then go with c++ opengl
might be hard but its a better pay off

Unity looks difficult to use :-/
Besides, I want to actually be able to PLAY the game, I can't do that with unity on linux.

Everything is going to be difficult in the beginning, but if you're really serious about learning something, it'll get easier.

Sometimes.

But you know, Game Maker has some cute 3D functions.

I know, but I don't know a way of getting game maker to work on linux.

Well, stop using Linux.

The biggest and most major problem with Linux is the lack of compatibility with, well, everything.

[xSetrox]

I've heard you can make 3d games on blender..
is this true? can it do all the things i said in op?
if it can, I'd be happy to learn blender- it has multiple uses- it's very versatile

see, i hate when people say this.
i'm not paying 100+ dollars to be able to run a certain program on a different OS

The truth hurts.

But hey, you'd be paying 100+ dollars for an OS that actually works.
