Hey reblog this if you think frogs are neat, like if you hate frogs
Look at how well you age when you stay in your lane
lets make a videogame how hard can it be
nevermind you have to know shit about computers
hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!!Ā
for starters, thereās Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (itās what Crystal Warrior Ke$haĀ was made in so you KNOW itās good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)
if you want a bit more involved experience thereās Inform 7Ā which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn
you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with UnityĀ (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. thereās lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the communityās pretty dang friendly from what iāve seen!
this is just a taste of whatās out there from what iāve seen, but thereās so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, iām around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!
Iām addināĀ to this post because lowering the barrier to entry for making games is super important to me!!!! If yāall have any questions about making games, youāre welcome to come and ask! I made this list a while back with some friends, so it has some of the programs John already mentioned.

GameMaker : Potential for pure drag-and-drop āprogrammingā. It is recommended to read-up on the programās functions to make good use of it. Good for prototyping. Uses its own language called Game Maker Language (GML) that is similar to a C language (e.g. C++ or C#). For both Mac and PC; free version available.
Construct2 : Drag and drop level editor that uses an āIf-Thenā event sheet structure for programming. Good for prototyping and for beginners. For PC; free version available.

@slimetony how does it feel to have your shitpost be turned into a helpful resource
It feels like a betrayal of every tenant of humor I subscribe to. Helping people is an alien concept to me. It makes me upset.
