Hey everyone,

I know this gets asked sometimes, but I’m hoping for some fresh recommendations. I want to start developing my first game, but here’s the catch: I don’t have a laptop or PC at all. My only device is my phone — a Poco F6 (Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, 8GB RAM) .

So, I can’t use Unity or Unreal. I need engines, IDEs, or complete workflows that let me do everything on the phone:

  1. Writing code (visual scripting or actual coding, I don’t mind)

  2. Designing levels/scenes

  3. Exporting the final game (APK/AAB) so I can actually share it or put it on the Play Store

I know about a few options like Godot with GABE (which now supports full Gradle exports on Android) , Max2D (no coding needed) , and ITsMagic Engine for 3D . Also heard of Tap Engine .

My question to you:

Which of these actually works best for a complete beginner who wants to publish? Are there any other hidden gems? I really want to use the power of the F6 (the SD 8s Gen 3 is pretty fast) so performance shouldn’t be an issue .

Thanks! Any advice is appreciated.
