Hi everyone. I have two teenage boys who are obsessed with creating realistic trains in Roblox. We live in Japan so train culture is very prominent. They have spent over 500 hours designing a massive world with trains and buses, but it all belongs to Roblox doesn’t it.

I think they have a lot of talent and want to give them an opportunity to develop their own game. What platform would you recommend they start out in? Thanks for any advice,

    Most importantly it exports to Mobile. Mobile is a bigger market right now than any of the others. You can make iOS, Android games – even simple games with some ads on them could pull in a small amount of income.

      This is a huge bonus for sure. They spend a lot of time playing games on their phones. I’m sure if they could see what they created on their phones it would encourage them to make more stuff. Thanks!

        Fun fact: Godot also runs on Android devices. Having a big screen tablet with bluetooth mouse and keyboard makes a pretty sweet mobile workstation.
