I never had much luck learning programming languages, but my son showed interest in making video games so I installed #gDevelop on two computers and we started watching some tutorials.
By the end of the night, we both had some rudimentary platform games up and running. Not much more than running, jumping and collecting coins, but we're excited to continue tomorrow.
Almost ten years ago, I actually managed to make a decent top-down space shooter with #ClickteamFusion. I was very proud of it.
