Complexity of game productions depends mostly on complexity of the game itself, not the underlying architecture. Nowadasy most developers cannot imagine creating a game without a pre-made engine. During this interactive experience I would like to prove that not only it is not hard to maek games without an engine, but that it can also be easier, as it takes away the complexity brought upon by layers of abstraction that come with a game engine.
