My children are hopelessly addicted to their gaming devices. This is a problem, but not one that I can directly solve because the school mandates that they have both an Android smartphone and a Windows laptop. Rather than to meet the problem head on I figured the better way to address it is to replace consumption with creation. But creating anything at all on a smartphone or a laptop, where the competition is insane, and the toolchains super complex is going to be an uphill battle. After all, a typical game title these days has a studio full of people dedicated to it, large teams of developers and so on. There isn’t really anything you can do that will come close to being able to compete with the eye candy and 3D stuff your average game contains.
