Programming skills needed?

Hello, where is a 3D game engine can be used without any programming skills to express the logic of a game?

Well you can use visual scripting in Godot. See here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/scripting/visual_script/getting_started.html

However, you still have to understand the logic of programming in order to code anything interactive (visual scripting or standard code, it doesn't make a difference).

So I would check out the visual script in Godot and see if that works. There are definitely other engines with easier "no code" scripting. Game Maker is one option. But I think with Godot you'll have more flexibility.

Also, depending on the game you're making. You can use a more single purpose engine, like Ren'Py for visual novels or RPG Maker for 16-bit RPGs.

Hope that helps.

I don't think godot is a very good visual scripter, it's kind of complicated. I personally think if you want to make games, you should just learn coding, if you find a good learning tool, it's really not as complicated as it looks, but of course that 's your decision. Anyway, Unreal engine's visual scripting is actually pretty intuitive, and there's plenty of tutorials on it.

Yeah, unfortunately Godot visual scripting is basically just a visual version of GDScript, meaning it is not really much easier than writing code. Unreal Blueprints is a good example of a successful visual script that is actually easier than coding.
