When I was in highschool, I did a course on games that used this:

https://gamemaker.io/en

It was free, very simple to learn, and reasonably powerful, you could build 3D games similar to the first Doom with some effort.

~~After that, Unity would probably be the next step up?~~

So yes, a kid can definitely create games with a small amount of effort.

@CameronDev@programming.dev you've mentioned something really fascinating out there..... Unity.......

The kids can actually explore a whole new world through this........
