Is it possible to develop a game on my phone?
There are many engines that you can use in browser. 1. (GDevelop)[https://gdevelop.io/] 2. (Construct 3)[https://www.construct.net] 3. (Godot Engine)[https://editor.godotengine.org] 4. (Play Canvas)[https://playcanvas.com] 5. (Hex Engine)[https://hex-engine.dev]

Unreal Engine AR apps versus WebAR development and the GLB/GLTF export demon
Web-focused 3D engines (three.js, babylon.js, PlayCanvas, ...) are pretty capable. Maybe not AAA-level like Unreal Engine, but certainly capable of the stuff you're describing here. If you're comfortable working within these frameworks, and writing shaders, there's a ton you can do.

Simple 3D Demo: ClojureScript + PlayCanvas + Odoyle Rules
I wasn't familiar with PlayCanvas, looks very cool.
- I have gotten comfortable with HTML, CSS, JS and somewhat comfortable with react, that i can build my own fullstack websites. But i want to learn about design schemes and how to make my websites look aesthetic and pleasing, if there are any resources available that you guys recommend please share.
- Can someone help identify the CSS template behind this ball pit behaviour? Couldn’t find any clues in the page source.

What language should I use to make games?
Another thing I recommend is to learn how to make games with ThreeJS (3D) or PixiJs (2D) and build web-based games using javascript. If you want a full-fledged web game engine, then you can take a look at Playcanvas. Playcanvas is similar to unity but for web-based games. If you want to learn all about Three Js then this course will help you a lot.

I'm new to godot! Any video recommendations for me to get started?
You may also have an easier/faster startup time in GDevelop , which uses Block-style scripting and has a library of ready assets. Which are mostly all Kenney Games CC0 assets, and useful if you stick with Godot.

Similar tools that aren’t subscription-based?

There's nothing in the docs about this.
If you're mainly interested in getting quickly into Game Development without even lite coding, I've been pointing folks to GDevelop as a FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) option. Which uses a Block-based scripting style.

Totally lack of begginer-friendly content about Godot 4
In the immediate term for just pure 2D Video Game Development in the FOSS (free and open source software) world, I'd suggest GDevelop , which uses Code Blocks (build on JavaScript and C++ on the backend). Kenny is a nice collection of assets for both 2D and 3D for any development engine.
