That’s interesting. As side-projects I just created two sibling games using JavaScript:
https://www.gameofpainting.com
https://www.paintingpuzzles.com
I optimized for the “fasted path to ship”, so I used React only, as it is what I know. The games reflect the limitations of the tools of course. They are just tapping games with simple game logic.
It would be nice to have something more powerful but still in a language that I know (I have no intention of going full game-developer). I’ll take a look at it.
