GDevelop. My son has used that happily. Meant for no-code development, so no real programming experience there, but good to get something out quick.

Nowadays supports 3D also, but that is recent feature and will definitely evolve for some time.

Came here to recommend GDevelop too. I taught my 10 year old GDevelop and she preferred it to p5js (Javascript programming) and it's a lot more powerful than Scratch coding. (but is visual too, like Scratch)

Also, lots of good tutorials on YouTube and a friendly community.
