What are the creative games of today, like 3D Movie Maker was? (lemmy.nz)

I remember playing with 3D Movie Maker extensively. Me and my mate would make shitty movies usually ripping off James Bond or Indiana Jones.

I also used the other McZee programs, Creative Writer and Fine Artist, which were basically a fancy text editor and a fancy paint program.

It feels like we don't have anything like that today, there doesn't seem to be this type of creative game out there. I would have expected 3D Movie Maker to have unending sequels, like the one with Nickelodeon, getting more advanced with each decades pop characters, but it just stopped.

I guess I'm looking for kid-friendly versions of business applications.

Like Creative Writer is Word for kids, Fine Artist is Photoshop for kids, 3DMM is Maya/Blender for kids…

I don't know the specific examples, but that sounds like it might be sort of niche. I don't know how old the kids would be, (or how motivated - makes a world of difference,) but they can be pretty quick if you help them along. It might be a good idea to give them a leg up on "real world" software.

Well, the 'kid' in this case is me wanting to relive experiences..
