Starting with 2d games is very good advice however if the child is mostly interested in 3d, well not the most helpful advice. Some people here forget that children are way more tolerant of not understanding things than adults are. They just want to get a quick taste not necessary dedicate their life to the study of game development. I think something like RPG in a Box https://rpginabox.com/ is nice if the child... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community. Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects And https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-alternative-game-engines-a-curation- If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
UPBGE which was formerly part of Blender is the only modern 3D engine I know of that supports Python for game development. Source: about 1 year ago
Another would be https://upbge.org/ 3D game engine forked from the old Blender Game Engine and deployed with Blender itself. Source: over 1 year ago
There still is a fork of the old one https://upbge.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
What's really missing is an open source "bring your own engine and asset pipeline" editor tool.

The Unity Editor and asset pipeline is hackable enough to use it as editor for another engine, I did... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
There are two primary contenders to replace the BGE. One is Armory3D (https://armory3d.org/) It has a ton of potential, and outputs to multiple formats including web. But it's a one-developer show and it's been really inconsistent. I taught a class on prototyping 3D games with it, but updates are slow and inconsistent, as is the documentation. Too bad, because it's a promising project, with a blueprints-like... Source: about 1 year ago
Armory3D is also interesting, not a fork of the original BGE AFAIK but integrates with Blender. Source: over 1 year ago
Another game engine blender https://armory3d.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
I don't know what it's worth, but Armory3D is also an engine built with Blender : https://armory3d.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
