Ask HN: Best way to develop games for beginners

Hi *,

My daughter is 14 and wants to get into developing games. What's your go-to framework/engine to recommend? I feel like she's old enough to start with something "real" and not a game engine specifically targeted towards kids. Still, it should be fun and easy to approach. I was thinking gbstudio, godot or even some javascript/html based engine.

She likes Stardew Valley and Minecraft, so I guess we'll go for something pixel artsy. I can be there to support, but I don't want her to be blocked by waiting for me to solve a problem.
