This is a game development studio similar to Mario Maker except that you can create your own characters and program them! Been working on this for a year of so. The app is written in JavaScript and runs on Electron. Despite this it runs fast on all platforms that I tested it on. I am not creating anything 3D so no powerful hardware is needed for this.
This game development studio comes with a fully working game engine for 2D games, a map editor, a pixel paint editor, a message board, and boatload of sounds downloaded from FreeSounds.org. I wish I could post a video of this app in action.
Right now you can find out more about the app here: Info Page

Installation Instructions: Copy francoisdiy to PC and click on francoisdiy.bat if you are on Windows. Linux users refer to website.
I am currently using the app to create new characters and levels. You can even create characters and place the in different games! As this app continues to be developed new features will be added and it will improve. Francois DIY is constantly evoloving, after all!
