I installed both versions, messed  around with them  and already   have a  sense for the engine.  However  I'm using 4.25  because  most of the tutorials I find in English are for that  version.  Maybe after  I'm more familiar with  it I'll continue the project in 5.x.
Thanks to all the input. I haven't used a game engine since Game  Maker Studio  like 6/7  years back.
