Appy Pie has introduced a cloud-based mobile game designer

The number of tools that simplify the development of mobile games continues to grow. Appy Pie has launched a cloud-based designer for iOS and Android games.

With Game Builder, almost any user who is no stranger to point-and-click interfaces can create a game from the components provided by the service (mechanics) in a browser window, then send the resulting version for approval in the App Store or Google Play and monetize the project through iAds or AdMob. 

It is hardly possible to create something decent using the package, but the fact that you can build a mobile store in five minutes cannot fail to impress. 

In addition, the very existence of such a service implies that in the near future the process of creating mobile projects will become easier and easier. 

This situation has both negative and positive sides.

On the one hand, the availability of a wide range of tools that speed up and reduce the cost of development leads to a sharp increase in the number of low-quality products in the mobile markets. This, in turn, worsens the visibility of applications and, as a result, increases the marketing budget of any project that wants to be in the top.

On the other hand, these reduce the role of programmers in projects, radically increasing the importance of game design.

And what do you think about the appearance of such tools?

P.S. It's funny: Appy Pie herself raised money (about $ 10 thousand) for the implementation of Game Builder using the Kickstarter crowdfunding service a little less than a year ago.
