If you look back 20 years ago, you can remember how computer games seemed like some kind of inexplicable miracle, and their creators were considered almost gods of new technologies. Today, you can hardly surprise anyone with a new shooter or simulator - the size of the budget invested in a new physics or graphics engine wins, and game creation technologies are available to any computer user who is interested in them, even the "teapot" himself.
It is necessary
Computer, Internet access, Game Editor program, suitable programming language compiler, Adobe Photoshop
Instructions
Step 1
Any game starts with an idea. As you know, the most popular game in the world is Tetris, which is distinguished by its idea, and not by physics, plot and special effects. Take a look around you, maybe they haven't yet thought of implementing some fun in pixel form and you have every chance of becoming famous. Define the genre, work out the idea and clearly decide what you want to get in the end result
Step 2
If your idea does not require 3D graphics, the implementation of physical characteristics and other "complexities" inherent in large commercial projects, then pay attention to the program for creating two-dimensional games Game Editor. In it, you can make any mini-game with your own plot and graphics, which will need to be prepared in advance in a graphic editor, for example, in Photoshop. The Game Editor's interface is completely in English, but this will not prevent even a “dummy” from mastering it, because the network has a lot of forums and instructions for this program. It is best to start creating your games in Game Editor by examining and reworking the ready-made game samples that come with the program
Step 3
If you need more resources or you feel the potential of a programmer, then create your game in some programming language: C ++, Delphi, etc. For example, having learned the basics of Delphi, you can create a board game like chess or backgammon in a very short time. And C ++ is generally considered the main language for writing games - legends such as Warcraft and Doom were created in it. Explore tutorials and forums on these programming languages, look at examples of developing games with them, and start creating your own creation
Step 4
Get your hands on classic examples. After examining all the documentation, write your own Tetris, snake and chess / checkers in the selected programming language, and create graphics for them yourself. After such a workshop, any game that you can create at home will be within your power.
